Re: Fred/Dilaudid/Dependency

Hello Fred

Your body will be come used to taking Dilaudid or any narcotic for that

matter. If you had to stop taking it you would need to do it carefully. Does

that make you addicted? No, it doesn't.

There are many, many medications that our bodies become used to such as:

antidepressants (Prozac, Elavil), antipsychotics (Seroquel, Thorazine),

antianxiety (Valium,Xanax), steroids, (Prednisone), anticonvulsants

(Neurontin, Tegretol) that must be tapered off very carefully when

discontinued.

I have heard good things about pain pumps. You end up taking a smaller

amount of the drug and usually have better pain control. Some of the drugs

used in pain pumps are Baclofen and Morphine.

There is also a spinal stimulator that does not use any drugs. It is called

a Medtronic Pump. You can read all about it online.

do you know if you get dependent on diludid? i guess is it as

>bad as oxycontin if you stop?
