@heisenberg34 Thanks for the info. My doctor is a believer in microdosing and said that he will not go above 1mg/day. I also went from 0.9mg/day to 1mg and got dizzy, especially when I would bolus myself. I assume that the body would adjust to the higher dose. Did you have any issues with dizziness and do you have any other medications in your pump besides Dilaudid?

@jcoleary I'm feeling very dizzy and need a walker to walk. Even that is painful. I have only Tylenol for pain, nothing else. Tylenol is of very little help to ease pain.
I'm trying to find a new doctor, but in Canada, there is a shortage of them.

@jcoleary Early on I requested to have my output increased by 20%. Yes, I felt dizzy and a little "out of it" for a day or so. I would gladly trade a little dizziness for better pain relief. I don't have anything else in my pump. The doc tried adding some kind of anesthetic way back, but it did not sit well with me. When I was at around 1 mg, my pain doc said that I was still at a low dose. I hope your doc will loosen up and let you get some increases.
