My favorite med:

[kool-aide, RN]

I just love Versed. Fentanyl is a close second!

I give tons of versed and fentanyl in my unit for conscious sedation for bedside procedures.

What are your favorite meds to give? :)

I thought when I read the title that you were asking for a favorite drug to receive. I have only had fentanyl twice (for preops), but omigod it is truly lovely. I can see why it's a favorite drug of abuse for anesthesiologists.

I had a combo of versed and fentanyl when I had a liver biopsy this year, I call them the "happy drugs". I felt like that girl in "Sixteen Candles" who took all that valium on her wedding day.

Dilaudid - bone mets patients best friend

[roser13, ASN, RN]

I love TAKING Celebrex. One small pill is the difference between walking a straight line and limping along, clutching the wall.

i also love announcing that I'm addicted to my pain med, watching the shock, and then announcing that it's Celebrex

My favorite med to take is probably either vicodin or zofran, but I have very little experience being a patient. I know when I was a kid I used to love the bubblegum taste of amoxicillin!

My favorite meds to give are adenosine, propofol, and vec!

Depo Provera, because it means fewer 16yos are getting pregnant.

[That Guy, BSN, RN, EMT-B]

Succs. 200mg of that will shut em up

[Tenebrae, BSN, RN]

I have a chap on my unit at the moment with peripheral vascular disease and is experiencing mega pain and anxiety as a result of the ischaemic lower limbs

At this time I would have to say morphine and clonazepam. Its very helpful for helping manage this chaps extreme pain.

[RunBabyRN]

Phenergan and dilaudid.

We have a transdermal phenergan that's awesome! I wish more people had this.

I receive high-dose ketamine infusions over 4 hours for 4 consecutive days every 4-6 weeks to treat Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (aka Complex Regional Pain Syndrome). To combat the side effects of the ketamine (hallucinations, nausea & vomiting, headaches, increase in BP, etc.) I also receive a cocktail of Versed, Ativan, Zofran, Decadron, Clonidine & Toradol. It is the only time I do not feel severe burning, sharp, shooting nerve pain or experience severe muscle spasms and dystonia. The relief is amazing (although I dislike the out of control feeling).

[OhioCCRN, MSN, NP]

Rocuronium and succs! (Not at the same time of course)

....especially if the patient was annoying that day ....

[imintrouble, BSN, RN]

Whatever stops the emesis, diarrhea, tachycardia, wheezing....

In other words, whatever makes my sick patient better.

Vicodin the elixir one LOL
