Cry   I posted last night on this board asking for info on the nasal spary butorphonal.  I recieved some really good answers and most of them were slanted against the use of this drug.  I went to bed last night only to be awakend around midnight with shadows of the monster that was lurking in the shadows... I went to the kitchen, took a pain tablet, drank some milk and had a banana.  I cant take pain medicine on an empty stomach. The pain subsided and I went back to bed thinking that finally I just might get a nights rest. This was my foruth night with CH'S every night.... At 3 AM the  monster struck again and this time, it was hurting so bad, I figured Id give the butorphonol a shot as I sure didnt have anything to lose...  Boy was I  wrong!  First of all, it did nothing for the pain,  what it did was put me into orbit like some kind of   drug high. I  became nauseated and began to throw up, this with a raging cluster and  an almost out of body experience... I think I came close to dying... It felt like it anyway... I was back in my MD.s  office when he opened this morning and  finally got some releif with an injection that they use to knock people out!  I told my wife tonite, I wouldnt take another round of butorphanol for 10,000 dollars and I could use the cash!  Thanks to you guys who warned me but  the desperate will try literally anything!  I now have maxalt ( my newest addition to the arsenal) and hope I get better results.... Thanks all for the support!

A lot of people on this board have had some success with Stadol NS. But I'm definitely not one of them. Butorphanol is a mixed agonist antagonist of the mU(Opioid) Receptor. So it can definitely lead to Dysphoria (Depression). This also causes a very sleepy feeling along with insomnia. If it doesn't work then you get A Cluster along with depression and also feeling very sluggish with insomnia to boot.  
 
Narcotics are ok to use as a last resort. I.E when you can't use anymore of a triptan since you're either maxed out or have run out. But I would stick to a pure mU agonist without acetaminophen. The worst side effect this would give you is itching.  
 
Remember...If you have to use any narcotic, use it responsibly!
