"i was given a dose of delaudid through iv for severe headache associated with an infection. as soon as the nurse began pushing the syringe i had a horrible taste in the back of my throat, my breathing and chest felt very heavy, my ears felt clogged and i became very sleepy. these all lasted for around 4 hours, along with extreme nausea! the nurse said &quot;yea a lot of people don&#039;t like dilaudid it makes them feel pretty funny.&quot; good thing i was also taking zofran or i would have been vomiting my brains out."
