I had taken Dulaudid in the past after surgery in my female area. It really helped with breakthrough pain, but it REALLY affected my mind. I would completely forget days at a time and was extremely sleepy. It is a synthetic form of opium. I think it is classified as one of the stronger narcotics on the market. I am currently taking Nucynta, which is a form of Morphine. My doctor is switching me to Dulaudid next if I can't stomach my current meds. Hope you get relief from this.
