Comment:
Used after cervical spine surgury. I used it correctly and it would relieve the severe pain. I migrated to percoset then to norco then off narcotics for a year. I think Dilaudid is best for pain relief and few side affects for me. Only four stars because tapering off of the drug took a week. The withdrawls were terrible. Once off I had no cravings for it.

Finally, they tried something new and I was prescribed 2mg Hydromorphone 1-2 every 6 hours. I took 1 which helped a little then an hour later I took a 2nd tablet. An hour late
