Stadol allergy
Suzanne: I also have an allergy to Stadol. I was given a rx for the nasal spray version (very expensive), used it once, and NEVER AGAIN! I was sooooo sick and my HA was even worse than before I took it. I am always afraid that I will be given something with the active ingredient of Stadol in it by mistake but so far so good. Feel better. Linda Suzanne wrote: . To make matters worse they injected Stadol IV and I had an allergic reaction. I thought I was dying!!! I felt separating from my body---drifting apart--I told my husband I wanted him to remember I loved him so much and never all the happiness we had shared. I kinda panicked feeling there were things I needed to do but then I felt calm and that everything was alright. So weird
The first few months I used Stadol, I felt that I had to concentrate on my breating otherwise I might forget to do it. That side effect passed and now that I've built up a tolerance to it, it takes two, sometimes three, doses over the course of an hour to feel much effect. Sometimes, the first dose makes the pain increase, but a follow-up dose fixes that and gets to work on the migraine. Stadol is the only drug that works for me to control a migraine. I think many people feel very weird when first using Stadol, but in my experience, that doesn't last, so if it works otherwise, consider not giving up on it. (This does not apply, of course, to someone with an allergy to it. A pharmacist should be able to tell you if the active ingredient in Stadol is present in anything else.) Jeff
