A member asked:
My doc just increased my meds (dilaudid) from 1mg to 2mg for breakthrough pain. should i notice much difference?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Better pain relief: If you are having increased breakthrough pain and your physician adjusted breakthrough pain medication dose. You should experience better pain relief assuming your pain is opioid responsive. Since you are not opioid naive, you should not have much side effects, but also with increased dose you have to be vigilant about possible increased sedation.
