"i was having nerve pain after having dental work done. the nerve was compressed and it felt like i was getting shocked every couple of seconds.

demerol is first off, 50% less effective as a per oral medication (tablet) than it is when it&#039;s given im or iv. so i would have to take 100mg 4x/day. it did mute the pain, but it never went away and it wasn&#039;t a medication i was able to continue really functioning on because of the sedation."
