I have been a treated for almost 30 years by a neurologist for my chronic migraines. I take several medication to prevent migraines. Butorphanol Nasal spray has been a lifesaver for me.

I have used this medication as a last resort for migraines to stay out of the E.R. It works too for that. I have not had to go for years because of using this.

It makes me sleepy within 10 minutes. I have to urinate about the same time even when I use the restroom seconds before use. It also leaves a funny taste in the back of my throat. Overall the nasal spray is helpful in treating my pain. I only use it as a last resort though as it is a strong medication.

This is the one medication that has helped me stay out of the ER. Of course now my PCP is refusing to fill this anymore for me.

Comment:
I have had migraines for years. I do the steroid treatments and this spray is a great back-up to sleep at night. My migraines come in the early morning hours.It will help you sleep and block out pain. Don't plan on doing anything for 3-4 hours after using spray.
