I just stumbled onto this site while looking for info on Stadol. What a lift to read about others who experience the same pain. I am a 46 year old female who has suffered with cluster headaches since age 20.
My current cycle started on Aug. 25 and I am now on pain level 10! I live in a rural area about 35 minutes drive from a hospital, ... and as my husband works out of town .. can't/won't phone a friend at 2 a.m. to take me to the ER. (Most non-sufferers don't understand the pain intensity; the screaming, yelling, sweating, etc.) Even our friends are afraid to try and give me a DHE injection. Now our GP (who thinks I am crazy) has prescribed Stadol. It works, .. but he says I will become addicted! Help! I just can't take much more of this!
