For decades, Demerol® (meperidine hydrochloride) was a very popular pain reliever. However, healthcare providers rarely prescribe this narcotic medication anymore, due to the serious side effects that have been reported with the drug. It is now only used in very specific situations where other medications are not appropriate.
 
This painkiller comes in several different forms and can be taken by mouth or administered by injection. Common side effects of Demerol may include vomiting, drowsiness, and lightheadedness.
