Does PRIALT Cause Diarrhea, Confusion, Shortness Of Breath And Respiratory Failure?

I had neck surgeries (2) in 3 days June 2013. In Dec I had a pain pump Implanted for PRIALT. I started getting very sick in Dec w/diarrehea, confusion, shortness of breath nearly got me. I Jan I was life flighted to a hospital and the doctors told us they lost me twice w/respiratory failure. They thought it was some medication I had been taking. But I did not get better only a little better at handling it. \Last week I come up with the idea that it was the PRIALT. Every side effect I had was listed w/them.. My dr decreased the pump 94% for the next 3 wks. Is that possible or probable? Sandy Trahan
