Prialt almost cost me my life. It didn't help with my pain at all. I heard music 24/7. It was so loud in my head that it drowned out any conversations. I was very confused and was severely depressed. I wanted to die. I was hospitalized for a week on suicide watch plus an additional 1.5 years of therapy. I lost about 4-5 months of my life. I can't remember much from that time period, only s ...

Prialt almost cost me my life. It didn't help with my pain at all. I heard music 24/7. It was so loud in my head that it drowned out any conversations. I was very confused and was severely depressed. I wanted to die. I was hospitalized for a week on suicide watch plus an additional 1.5 years of therapy. I lost about 4-5 months of my life. I can't remember much from that time period, only snippets here and there. I would not recommend this medication to ANYONE!!! The side effects are too bad. I currently have dilaudid and baclofen in my pump and they are helping a lot. I still have pain daily, but the meds in my pump keep me from being bed-ridden. For those of you that are currently using Prialt- please watch for the side effects. They are very real and they sneak up on and make you feel like you are losing your mind. For those considering it, please do careful research before you take it. Take it from me, I am glad to be alive today.

I have a pump with prialt at a very low dose,the side effects out way the help. I can relate to the woman and her husband, about no one believeing them. They try and tell me it is everything but the prialt,that I have depression, Well I do now! I think?

RSD for 8 yrs, best at relieving pain BUT, it's not worth the side effects I get. I've been on Prialt for over a year and I have gone through several bad experiences and I always stuck it out since the relief was so good. It's no longer worth it. I have no life, hardly leave the house and spend most of the time talking to myself.
