I received this medication for gastric bypass surgery and hernia surgery. It worked great. It relieved the pain better than any other drug I was given. I also was on Lyrica for a shattered shoulder and humerus (old injury) and this was much better and made me feel more in control and less "drunk" than the lyrica.

95-year old patient experienced weakness and dis-orientation beginning the morning following several small (.25ml) doses administered late afternoon/early evening of the previous day. Would not use again if alternative found.

ETHEX has an amazing bad flavor. Still works but might make you throw up, oh well.

TBI 13 years ago, ongoing severe acute pain. use 1mL for breakthrough pain, 80 MG methadone daily for maintenance. Oxydose is not as strong as I would like, Fentanyl works better but too expensive.
