    I did not have music playing in my head but did have issues headaches, sinus teeth issues, concentration, and irritability. It took me a week to get pain relief and it was minimal. I would not have considered going back to work while on it. My flow was low at 1.2 and I recommend no higher than that to begin with. I have switched to morphine and am slowly making progress on pain levels.

    Prialt is very effective for pain relief. I was pain free for the first time in 10 years. The only problem was it destroyed my ability to form memories, made me constantly irritable and over emotional. If they could reduce the side effects it would be great. Unfortunately it left me a crying, screaming near psychotic.

    Hallucinations, depression, thoughts of suicide, loss of memory and Lost all desire for intimacy. My pain doctor charged 5 times what same dosage of dilaudid cost. Possible secondary gain? If you like to gamble, try prialt.
