At 16 when the pancreas problems began, I was given
Demerol after every surgery (pill form) and through IV during every hospital visit. At times I was given Meperidine instead, or Demerol and Phenergan. At about 18, for the FMS, I was switched to Lortab (Hydrocodone) 5/500. I am still to this day on Lortab 5/500, though since I was about 20, it has been no more than one 5/500 mg tablet per day to help me sleep through the pain. Normally I take between 1/2 to 3/4 of a pill.
