"Omg I was given Stadol in my arm where my IV was to start. I went to ER for throwing up and throat burning and right side of my throat was closing up like swollen and on fire. They took blood, a pee test and came back with zofran in my IV and had me drink this Cocktail stuff that had lidocaine in it. Made my throat burn worse. I think they gave me WAY too much of Stadol. Weirdest feeling ever!!! Felt like I was flipping backwards, my body was being pulled forcing my whole body and brain n eyes. Felt so panicky, freaked out, the worst drunk feeling ever. I would NOT recommend this to anyone. Coming down from that scary high. Still can't stand up by myself. Do not take it. I would rather have the pain than have to take this again"

"I was prescribed Stadol at the age of 15 after suffering from migraine headaches that left me holding my head and literally screaming for my parents to help me. Did Stadol work? Oh absolutely. Unfortunately it also gave me my first high - my first experience with opioids and years upon years of substance abuse once the nose spray was discontinued. YES it helps. But I'd NEVER recommend it to anyone. It is highly addictive. I'd love to have the chance to tell that family doc from many years ago how screwed up it was to prescribe this to a young kid."

"I was given stadol for a burned foot. within 30 minutes I could not control any part of my body. I was limp all over and drooling. The next morning I was having terrible thoughts and felt drugged out. Horrible experience... I never want that drug again.."

"Was very helpful. A dr prescribed stadol to me when I was 19. Before I realized it I was taking it even when I didn't really need and was quickly addicted. I've been addicted to opiates ever since. It's been a long rough road and I'm currently clean but this was so not worth the pain it helped. Dr.s should never prescribe this to anyone to take home and take whenever they want. In a controlled setting only."

"I was diagnosed with Icepick headaches. My Doctor prescribed Stadol Nose Spray. My directions were to use it when I felt the headache begin then stop when the headache disappeared. I started getting the symptoms and used the nose spray. It made me feel worse. The only way to explain it was I felt high. The feeling was so awful, so I immediately threw the nose spray in the trash. I read the other reviews and I'm happy to see others getting relief from this medicine. I wish I was one. Now I was waken up with the stabbing pain on the right side of my head with nothing but a prayer to get me through this."

"I'm a retired L&D nurse. Stadol/phenergan and then stadol/benadryl IV was given routinely for labor pain. I began self medicating with stadol/phenergan to treat severe insomnia. I found myself unable to stop without experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms. When I began abusing stadol in 1997 it was not stored with the narcotics nor was included in the daily narcotic count. I used for 4 years. I self reported to employee health and entered into treatment. Stadol, in my experience, has extreme abuse and addiction potential. I experienced extreme withdrawal symptoms for 5 days and then extreme cravings for years. I am clean today and have been drug free for over 18 years and was able to return to nursing (meeting all requirements of the State Licencing Board). I share this experience in the hopes of spreading more awareness, especially to healthcare professionals, on the potential abuse and addiction of stadol."

"I used Stadol for pain associated with reflex sympathetic dystrophy. It was very helpful during flare ups and cold weather . Very effective 4 short term pain when used with a longer acting pain medication."

"Works great for kidney stone pain instead of going to the Dr every time to get a demerol shot. I have reoccurring kidney stones, stopped counting at #42."
