"i hace severe migraines and trigenimal neuralgia. when i am in pain, there is nothing that has ever helped other than demerol in a shot form. i was prescribed stadol to try bc for some reason they call demerol a dirty drug and wont hardly prescribe it. (aren&#039;t all pain drugs dirty?) but i used stadol the first time and it didnt take all of the pain away, but made me extremely irritable &amp; grouchy. my mood was fine &amp; normal before that.  i had to use again later that month. same thing, doesn&#039;t take all the pain away &amp; extreme irritability, grouchy, horrible mood. when it leaves my system, i am back to normal.  am i the only one it does that to? i cant take morphines or triptans. not sure wht to do now."
