Hi, while i appreciate that hydromorphone has many issues regarding tolerance, dependency and addiction, I do hope that as your pain subsides, you will unwittingly forget to take your pain meds so regularly and that you will experience no 'withdrawal' symptoms.

I was taking 40mg instant release Oxycodone every 2 hrs, by mouth. As my disease regressed over 2 months I only realised I wasn't taking as many pain meds as before because I had loads left over at the end of the week..

If anyone taking these types of pain meds gets that "feel good" feeling, then either the dose is too high or it is the wrong med for the job. Pain relief accompanied by feeling 'high' from the pain relieving drug is more likely to result in psychological as well as physical dependence.

Hello, Bug! How are you doing?

There is a lower dose of Dilaudid available, there are 2mg tablets, not just the 4mg ones.

Learn more Dilaudid details here.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

And your doctor should be able to help you taper off of them, when the time comes.

Are there any other questions or concerns?
