If you have not heard about Stadol it is a nose spray prescribed primarily for migraine headaches. I have taken many painkillers over the years but yet have I found one to help with my headaches like Stadol. I am also taken 50mg of Elavil and 1000mg of Depakote daily to help with my migraines. This combo seems to be working quite well. Anyway, back to Stadol. As I said it is a nose spray which means it will go to work very fast(usually within minutes). The first thing I feel is a very calm feeling all over but mostly in my head. I have actually sat for a hour without saying a word to anyone in the room. If I do like three or four 'squirts' up my nose I will get a drip in the back of my throat sort of like a cocaine drip. It will actually numb my throat for a little while.
But there is one down-side to Stadol. I have found that it can make me extremely irritable and frustated at the most stupid things around me. I dont know why this happens but just about anything can set me off. Also, as you might guess, Stadol is very addictive and very hard not to do when I have nothing else better to do that day. Anyway, thats my two cents worth. I'm just waiting till Monday so I can get my script filled. Hope this has educated someone out there. Later..
