Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | Successful management of post-op pain following reconstructive foot surgery including osteotomy with split tendon transfer. |
| Side effects: | | Unexplainable behavior: Constructed the letter "P" from toilet tissue, later had no recollection and couldn't explain why I did it. Apparently told husband to consult with nurse friend about my medications, but forgot and was upset when he did so. Visual hallucinations: while looking at my friend, saw her hair rising as if being blown from below; wherever I focused strange things happened. Thought they were really happening. Soon after med discontinued, became severely nauseated and started vomiting, unable to tolerate food or liquids for 20 hours, had to take zofran. |
| Comments: | | Was prescribed 2-4 mg dilaudid (I took 2mg, weigh 95#)with hydroxyzine pamoate 50 mg every 4 hours, because following previous surgery both percocet and vicodin caused vomiting and itching. First dose was given in recovery room and continued to take it every 4-6 hours with vistaril as prescribed until untoward symptoms appeared. I had no nausea, vomiting, or itching |
