Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Dear , Demerol is my favorite too, but it has fallen into disfavor because of some nasty side effects. I've never experienced any trouble with Demerol myself. However, now I can't get it for acute attacks when I'm at the hospital ER. I do have Demerol tablets for use at home. Codeine and oxycodone (and hydrocodone, for that matter)are both derived from the opium poppy. Their chemical composition is different, but your body is the ultimate determinant of what works and what doesn't. Try insisting that your doc give you Demerol. It worked for me. (The insistence, I mean!) Of course, that was after I tried everything else under the sun. Best Wishes and Good Luck, Jerry/NC ************************* Karyn RE: pain meds > I wasn't aware that Oxycodone was the same stuff in Percocet. Isn't > that along the line of coedine??
