Demerol?
Now someone has suggested Demerol (meperidine) for my friend. AFAIK, this is only a short-acting analgesic that's mostly fallen out of favor (though I'm not sure exactly why) except sometimes for breakthrough pain. It doesn't seem appropriate for long-term chronic pain; I've never even heard of a longer-acting version of it.
