I was wondering what opiate is the fastest for pain relief from the time you swallow the pill to when it works

everything I have now is like 45mins-hour after I take it, even demerol which I thought was supposed to be faster acting, is this as quick as it gets?
 
It's highly dependent on stomach contents. Oxycodone is pretty extensively adsorbed but is the only one that I can really think of off the top of my head.

In the end all the drugs have to get adsorbed and pass through your liver before they hit your brain. This is why some people sniff or IV their opiates. I can't recommend this, though.
 
I would say codeine, dihydrocodeine, pethidine/meperidine, hydrocodone, and oxycodone are equally quick-acting.

Of the five, I've found hydrocodone to kick in the quickest, then oxycodone comes in second, then Demerol - but that's just me.

I think it will be different for everyone. But it's definitely one of the 5 I mentioned above when it comes to the oral route.

Demerol acts very quickly aswell orally. I know because I've used it through that route and (IV), and it kicks in orally just as quickly as hydrocodone or oxycodone do.

Morphine instant release is quick acting, as is Dilaudid and I'm sure Opana IR is also, though I've never tried the latter.

But there is a host of semi-synthetic opiates that that we will never get to try that probably act very quickly - heterocodeine, pentamorphone, hydromorphinol, and close morphine relatives like desomorphine, dipropanoylmorphine, and dibenzoylmorphine.
 
Everyone is different. No matter what opiate I take, it will hit me within 15 minutes. It takes about an hour to kick in for my cousin. I have a high metabolism so that might be why it hits me faster.
 
The synthetic opiate Tramadol acts pretty fast for me (5-10 minutes) but I don't know if it'll do much for ya.
 
Tramadol works well for some people, but otherwise, I agree with kokaino, all the ones he listed are about the same. It depends on stomach contents and individual chemistry as well.
