    Switched from Oxy 30 to Dil 8mg for break through pain. Head feel foggy like I have a cold, headache, and tension in neck. Just started it so am hoping things get better. Takes pain down but the effect is short lived.

    I have been on 6mg 3x per day but I notice it seems to wear off fast.I have been taking it about 8 hrs apart but the pain hits pretty bad at 6 hrs so think meds have to adjusted in order for them to work better.

    I was taking Oxicontin 80mg 2x per day for lower disc herniation L4 - L5. Injury sustained 12-years ago. Have been through many different pain meds which helped only to a point. My pain management doctor put me on 4mg 4x per day which did not help. I have only been on this med for 5-days, but I seem to have a high tolorance to all meds. This helps faster than the oxicontin, but drops off too quick ... Show Full Comment

    Comment:
    Hydromorphone 4 mg was one of three different pain medications prescribed to me for pain following rotator cuff surgery. I worked pretty well as best I could tell. (I was asleep most of the time) It was definately better than the Demerol. My time of use was short, 2 days use for the first sholder and about one day for the second.
