Thanks. I am in the process of increasing my daily pump output. The nurse who refilled my pump yesterday told that I was still on a fairly low dosage. I guess that a monthly increase of ten percent, it's going to take me a while to get to a therapeutic level...for me at least.Do you know that your output is? He told me I was at about 0.9mg.

I may have missed this answer, but are you using dilaudid in your pump? 0.9mg is a very low dose. I have maxed out at 5mg per day with an additional 6 blouses per day, I also use 4mg oral dilaudid 4 times a day, if ur not getting adequate pain control at ur current dose, there is room for a reasonable increase. Wish you the best!
