After two years of pain free living, My CH's returned just before Christmas. I have used prednisone in the past to make them go away but I am starting to have more side effects from this method. My MD just sent me home with butorphanol spray. Has anyone had any success with this?

Apparently the brand-name is Stadol NS.
Maybe that will help someone. (Not me)

This is the generic of Stadol Nasal spray. If you do a search you will find posts in the archives about this. I used it for aprox a year. I found it would help abort my ha or at least put me in a place where I didn't care if I had a ha. It would make my lips turn puple, make me very out of it and incoherint, make me go to sleep 95% of the time. It is very potent stuff. It is also very addicting and I found myself building up a tolerance fast. I started I spray in one nostril. Then my dr. changed it two one spray in each nostril (2sprays) then I upped it myself to 3 and 4 sprays. It did nothing for me at 4 sprays. Keep in mind I was also using it a couple times a day as directed. I told my dr it was useless and that I tried a really high dose and not to give it to me anymore. My husband couldn't stand to be around me when I was on the stuff. I would recomend trying it but be carefull and forwarned it is potent stuff.

Thanks for the information, sounds like I may want to get back on prednisone. It usually puts me into remission. The stadol sounds dangerous but when a CH is raging, danger isnt so dangerous if that makes any sense.

stan,
Stadol is highly addictive and it made me nauseas and an insomniac! I could not function on this stuff and I have always had a very high tolerance to drugs.
Pred and verapamil have helped me tremendously with Maxalt and O2 as abortives.
