Stadol (butorphanol): My doctor prescribed me this medicine for my migraines. Although it worked great for the pain, it was extremely addictive. I started wanting it all the time time, even when I did not have a migraine because it made me feel so good.

butorphanol: I was recently prescribed this medication for migraines. I used it for the first time a few days ago for a migraine that lasted 11 hours. I took four doses over that time and experienced no relief at all. In fact, it made feel even worse- all spacey sick and dizzy- and not in a nice way. The only pain killer that has ever worked for my migraines was Demerol, and I don't see my doctor giving me that any time soon. Such a shame since Butorphanol sounded so good being a strong narcotic nasal spray, I was really hoping it would work.

butorphanol: I have had migraines for over ten years and have tried all of the preventative medications. They just do not work for me. When my migraine hits and the nausea and/or vomiting accompany the migraine, I find that this nasal spray quickly and effectively eases the pain. I think that being able to administer it nasally is great since my nausea is so bad that I am unable to keep anything down long enough for it to take effect. It is a very strong medication and I am unable to operate a motor vehicle after taking it, so I always lay down in the dark with a cool rag over my face. This is, to me, the most effective medication I have taken for this kind of pain.

Stadol (butorphanol): My doctor has prescribed this medication for migraines. It works great if you take it at the onset of a migraine. If you have a full blown migraine, it may take several doses. All other migraine medications do not work on me. Stadol is the only pain reliever to help with the pain. Just make sure when you take it, you are some place you can lie down.

butorphanol: This nasal spray was very effective in stopping severe abdominal pain, vomiting and nausea. It worked for several hours when nothing else was held down. Why would doctors give oral medicines for vomiting when a nasal alternative is available?
