| Add Hydromorphone review 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. thought I was withdrawing from my oxycodone, my doctor said I was not. I am totally to go off it all at once. With side affects that I have been having it was suggested that I am depressed. I am currently experiencing, moodswings get upset and angry very quickly.feeling of lose of control shaking rapid heart rate and a bad headace. | Add Oxycodone review I have Head and Neck Cancer,I take 5mg every four hours as needed to relieve pain. the pain never goes away very effective This helped a little when it was first prescribed, but is ineffective now. I've had the dosage increased from 5 mg every 4 hrs when initially prescribed to 60 mg every 4 hrs now, but it has long since stopped helping my b/t pain. I'm happy for anyone who is able to get pain relief!! | |||
