What do you do the rest of the month...after you run out? Do you have more than one dr. going at the same time?
That's how I was with hydros, percs whatever...my script would be gone in a few days.
I use one bottle in about 4 -5 days and it is supposed to last one month.

Do you use the nasal spray? Is that the only form Stadol comes in? Most doctors I've spoken with around here would never prescribe it. It has a bad reputation...for good reason I guess. How much of it do you use per day?
I used it once, and it made me feel really weird...spaced out and sick to my stomach. I didn't like it. I guess that is a good thing.
Can you all post where u are from when u post? It is so cool that we are allove the country..the amzing internet! I am from Tallahassee.
Lizzy..Plz remember that stadol is very addicting and much more poptent than morphine. I have been addicted to it for over 10 years! hope you feel better! I put ice bag on my head and it helps dull the pain tremendously!
thx,

Congrats on readying yourself for phase 3. You're already doing what it takes to help you heal. The first couple days, just hang strong. It's tough, but worth it. Keep repeating to yourself that "This WILL pass". Because it will.
Day 3, you're more than likely gonna still feel pretty rough. But if you can, TRY to get up and move. Walk outside if there is space where no one will hassle you. It will take your mind off the situation and will help make you feel better. Also, just sitting under a hot shower did wonders for me. They temporarily take the skin crawls and aches away so you can get a small break in the action.
One thing.... I don't think I saw where you were getting any detox meds from your doctor. If that is the case, you may want to rethink that option. Clonidine helps early on as does Ibuprofin and a mild muscle relaxer. Your doctor can figure that all out... that's what I'm using and others have as well.
Word of caution: Clonidine, while it helps early in the process will also make you feel pretty fatigued later on. It's a BP med that also helps with detox somehow. There's a fine line with this one. You need it up front, but I'd suggest tapering off after 7 days. But then, your doctor will know what's best, not me. I can only speak with what I've experienced. And IF you doctor prescribes it, don't stop abruptly. I did that and thought my head was gonna come off. Those things are powerful.
Remember.. It WILL pass. You'll come out the other side better for the journey.
God Bless,
Mike
