"i received 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree burns (10% body - when water was split on my leg and lap) that ended up getting infected while on vacation. i had received some other medicines at 2 different er visits before flying home (before the burns were infected), but when i arrived at my doctor he prescribed dilaudid pills for me (2mg each to be taken 4 times daily). i about died each day. i could &quot;fill them working for about 1-2 hours but the next 4-5 was torture. i soon changed to a &quot;weaker drug&quot; that worked better on me. 

i have been given dilaudid shots of 2mg at the er for migraines, but when taken orally the medicine does not go into the system fast enough or for long enough.
