Mark,
During a recent hospital stay, i was given the pain-killing drug Hydromorphone HCL (Dilaudid) almost immediately after taking Carbidopa/levo. The effect was immediate. I became very dizzy and violently sick to my stomach.

Do the two drugs mix? Or, is the combination not a good one?

A day earlier, I was given toradol and had no reaction.

the medications are ok to be taken together. Many people do experience this effect because the pain relief centers of the brain and the nausea centers are very closely related. The main side effects of the dilaudid is nausea,dizziness, and drowsiness. Looks like you got two out odd three

Best of health
