After a few calls to the dr, I was finally able to get dilaudid prescribed for my dad. The on call dr this morning was nice enough to try something different. I was starting to get concerned because my dad is refusing to eat due to all the pain. Hopefully this helps. My dad works at night so hoping this isnt going to cause crazy side effects. Any feedback on side effects for this medication?
