Possibly: Dilaudid, or hydromorphone, is a potent opioid. Additionally, if you have been off opioids for some time, your body may react to them stronger than if you were still taking them. You need to consult with a physician to determine the cause of your pain before beginning opioid therapy.

Seek help: When you have a history of addiction, which it appears you do, taking any addicting medications is not warranted, especially dilaudid. Call your dr. And get into a rehab center where you can be treated for any pain as well as your addiction. Best wishes to you.

Also addicting : It is a long acting opiod. If addiction is the problem consider seeing an addiction physcian . Subaxone treatment may assist in treating opiod dependency.
