Stadol NS (butorphanol) for Pain: I used this medication years ago for my migraines. Since that time, my husband has joined the Army and we have moved several times, etc. Each time we do, I have to start all over again with my migraine treatments (I have hemi-palegic migraines) and I would give my eye-teeth for one of these doctors to just let me take Stadol NS again! It worked so well mainly because even when I was nauseated, I would still "keep" this medication because it was in the nasal spray form. This medicine was a wonder drug for me... oh how I wish it could be again.

Stadol NS (butorphanol) for Pain: Stadol works great for migraine's. The only bothersome side effect that I've noticed is that after you take it, it doesn't make you really sleepy but you still feel like you have to close your eyes. Otherwise, this drug is a lifesaver for migraine sufferers.

Stadol NS (butorphanol) for Pain: This is my rescue pain medication for really bad migraine headaches. I have killer ones - usually with aura so I can start pain meds (2x Percocet 10/325) before pain gets out of control. I usually use Stadol if I awake with a Migraine. This medication is a lifesaver - it takes me from suicide due to pain to just being able to sleep. Only down side - it is the only medication that I have ever taken that I want more of once it wears off! Beware of addiction!
