"i have had chronic migraines for 15 years, they became daily about 10 years ago. none of the triptans (imitrex, maxalt, etc.) work for me, nor do a lot of others. i was prescribed stadol, which is highly addictive and has a fast tolerance rate, and after that i did not believe tordol could work, i relied solely on narcotics, despite rebounds. i would be given tordol in the urgent care, and it didn&#039;t work (as i believed it wouldn&#039;t!) after the doctors stopped giving me stadol and a couple years later i tried tordol... only this time i told myself it would work... it has been my miracle drug ever since. it isn&#039;t easy to do deep im on myself, and sometimes it really hurts, but i have only had to go to the er once in the past 18 months."
