| 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 Oxymorphone review I had to switch from Oxycontin to oxymorphone due to insurance reasons. This drug has not worked at all for me. The oxycontin worked wonders but the oxymorphone is of no help. I also went from 20mg Oxycontin to 15mg oxymorphone. Thanks insurance company for ruining my life!! (Chartis) I have not gotten the pain relief I expected. | |||
