I am not aware of it being in combination with Demerol... However... Demerol should only be used short term - if at all - because it has toxic by-products from being metabolized in the body and its duration of action is VERY SHORT.

Since Demerol is the only pain med that doesn't make me sick to my stomach, what other meds are an option? I want to mabe get back on Celebrex for the inflamation. It really was easy on the tummy. But I want to have a pain med that I can take for break-through pain. I don't want to have to take something everyday...Any ideas?

what meds have your tried?... Everything is a pretty broad statement about pain meds... I find it unusual that only Demerol doesn't do gastric upset... over other opiates... There are a number of things that one can do to see if a drug is at fault... take on a full stomach.... take Prilosec/Zantac before/while taking the med... try the liquid form of the med. Use the long acting form.
