Pain
"I was having nerve pain after having dental work done. The nerve was compressed and it felt like I was getting shocked every couple of seconds.

Demerol is first off, 50% less effective as a per oral medication (Tablet) than it is when it&#039;s given IM or IV. So I would have to take 100mg 4x/day. It did mute the pain, but it never went away and it wasn&#039;t a medication I was able to continue really functioning on because of the sedation."
