Hi Sydney! It's just about impossible to predict which medicines will benefit which people, since it always seems to be differnent. But for me, the only pain med I ever found that really seems affective is Dilaudid. I actually take it as a break-through med, and have used many long-acting narcotics as my primaries. But the primary meds have never been as effective as Dilaudid.

It is a very short-acting narcotic, so many doctors are leery about prescribing it. It seems the risk of addicting is higher. I have to take 8 mg every 4-6 hours, as it has a half-life of five hours or so.

I hope you find the med that works for you, because doing so can make all the difference in the world. Good luck!

Best Wishes,
Idealist
