I was in the hospital for severe headache and neck/backache. The pain was caused by a fall, and it turned out I had a concussion. I liked Demerol better than Morphine. Even though after taking it my blood pressure dropped to 102/50, it didn't make me feel as restless, jittery, etc., as morphine and other hydrocodone/codine drugs do.

Even though after taking it my blood pressure dropped to 102/50, it didn't make me feel as restless, jittery, etc., as morphine and other hydrocodone/codine drugs do. This allowed me to finally get some well-needed rest and relieved my pain quickly. Normally I have to take phenergen with my pain medication to prevent nausea and vomiting, but I didn't have to use any this time. I was on 75mg (1mL) injections of this medication. It still gave me the fishbowl for a head feeling, but I'll live with that over severe pain!

I have an arachnoid cyst in my brain, my neurologist gave me 150-200 mg of demerol every 4-6 hours. this takes away the pain, does not make me sleepy, but gives me jitters, and i seem hyper, restless. i also get alot of itching with it. but this is the only thing that takes away my pain and not make me sick to my stomach like the other pain meds do like hydrocodone, ect.

i have gout occasionnaly and take 800 mg. of advil during the day while at work, but soon as I can after work take 100 mg. demerol and it takes away the feeling of a sledge hammer hitting my ankle every time my heart beats. It is a shame that doctors are afraid to prescribe as this medication works better than the oxycodone that many people get addicted to.
