I had a collapsed lung when I was 17, and was given Demerol before the inserted the chest tube, I immediately broke out in hives and a rash, had to have a drug injected to counteract it. There for I am allergic to it, and also, during the same hospital stay I found out I was allergic to Nubain as well, that caused me to have convulsions and muscle spasms.

I was given a shot of Demerol in the ER for my migraine and it did nothing but put me to sleep which wasnt a bad thing at the time but when I awoke the pain was still there. Nubain works much better for migraines.
