| 5 | migraines!!! havent been | 1 days | 1/10/2013 | 5 | Chronic pain I won't take opiates | After many years on opiates I had enough. This has changed my life and this is a very misunderstood drug. Many professionals believe that nubain is a scheduled drug. It is not. They claim its a narcotic. It is not. This is absolutely the best pain medication period. If you are in pain you will get over having to do shots. If not you are An opiate junky. I speak from knowledge. It is to bad that the good ol usa wants us hooked on opiates and that the big pharmas are spreading much misinformation about nubain. And they are causing the shortage. It works for men as well. Please try this drug if you are sick of pAin and the opiates are no longer working. I am back on opiates doing nothing due to the shortage. | M | 43 | 4 years 4 day | 1/8/2013 | 5 | SEVER HEADACHE 10+ PAIN LEVEL | NONE AS OF THIS DATE | NUBAIN HAS BEEN HARD TO GET FOR MY DOCTO FOR THE LAST 6 TO 9 MONTHS WHY IS THIS. MY SUPPLY AT THE DOCTORS OFFICE IS OUT NOW HAVE TO TAKE VICODIN OR DILANTIN WHICH DOES NOT WORK . CAN ANYONE HELP MY DOCTOR GET THE NUBAIN 20MG PLEASE. | M | 67 | 3.5 years 20 MG 2X W | 1/6/2013 | 1 | Abdominal pain/Crohn's disease | As the drug was being injected, I immediately felt a hot, burning sensation to my head and back, followed by cold. Severe agitation set in and I began to get upset. The nurse hadn't even finished the full injection and stopped. Numbness and tingling followed. The pain decreased some, but the side effects negated this benefit. Now I was in my original pain plus pain all over, and was agitated, upset and felt extremely "weird." I left the hospital to "sleep it off." | Nurse said she'd put in my chart a bad reaction to the drug. I will NEVER take it again, and I have chronic pain. | F | 43 | 1 times 1/2 dose 1X O | 8/31/2012 | 5 | MS, cancer & migraines | dry mouth & being drowsy | F | 38 | 1 years 10mg | 7/20/2012 | 1 | Migraine | Although this drug is contraindicated for people who are currently taking narcotic pain meds, I was given this drug & immediately went into an allergic reaction. I was taken by ambulance to the hospital & finally hours later came "down" & was able to go home. I will never take this drug again! | I do not believe that Nubain & Phenergan should be administered by anyone other than a physician. These are powerful drugs & the potential side effects should be disclosed to patients before receiving it. | F | 62 | 1 days 1X D | 7/3/2012 | 1 | dr gave it to help with excess pain | I am on lots of narcotics for chronic pain. Doc didn't know that this drug negates narcotics. I was in full withdrawal within half an hour. Ambulance to hosp. | M | 57 | 1 days | 7/2/2012 | 1 | stroke ....Dr. said migraine | Sick, hot, then passed straight out, slept for almost 24 hours straight. Admitted at another hospital for stroke the following day | F | 31 | 1 days | 5/18/2012 | 5 | severe migraines, allergies mig rx | For those of you that are able to have a doc to give it to you if you live near Iowa or Illinois please share your doc info as I just moved here from FL | F | 42 | 2 times 10-20mg 2X W | 10/24/2011 History | 5 | Doctor's Visit | Only side effect is Doctor's treating me like a junky... | Would recommend use for Acute Attacks of Pain but not for everyday pain. Within 30 mins my Migraine goes away & I have no reactions nor rebounds. | F | 40 | 5 years 20 MG 1X AN | 10/9/2011 | 5 | chronic migraines | i have been taking Nubain for about a year now...my doctor prescribed the injection along with 50mg Phenergan for my migraines...i have them so often that the ER got to where they would not treat me any longer...apparently they thought i was just wanting drugs and thats not the case...i use it as often as i need and it cures my headache in just a few minutes | does cause irritablility and hyperness with a hard crash later ...thats the only drawback of this medication | F | 39 | 1 years 20mg 1X AN | 8/15/2011 | 5 | Migraine | Tired, makes me want to smoke more. | I have had migraines since I was a teen. I have tried everything under the sun. Even vicodin. I don't see why Doctors are willing to give somthing like Vicodine and not Nubaine. It knocks my pain out very quickly and I have taken this for so long it wears off quickly. It is hard to find a ride to the Doctors and I wish she would just give me a script to do it myself. It is hard not to ask for somthing that works so good and quick. That gets mistakin for being a junkie. | F | 36 | 3 years 20 mg 3X M | 5/19/2011 | 5 | Neck Injury | It was amazing! Nothing but super strong euphoric effects. You couldn't wipe the smile off my face. It is strong and will knock out all the pain you may have in your entire body. I wonder why I didn't get this stuff when I had my rhinoplasty/septoplasty. Nothing else takes the pain off of your face not even 10 percocets a day! It didn't hurt to get the injection at all, I got it and a shot of valium in the hips at the same time. | Wish it came in pill form! It is a miracle worker for pain, which I suffer from all the time. | F | 38 | 1 days 1X D | 2/9/2011 | 1 | Migraine | Don't take this drug! I had burning pain through out inside my body after 5 minutes & increased nausea. Became very anxious, irritable, clammy & very sweaty. Then if I laid down I would have uncontrolable body spasm. Even after 2 ativan shots & 1 benedryl shot it took 3 hours to finally calm down. Never again! | F | 44 | 1 days 1X D | 12/23/2010 | 5 | Migraine | It usually causes some anxiety and irritability. I know this is temporary and I know once I get home and lie down that I can sleep off the monster.... | My neurologist has tried other treatments and I have cried and cried... I'm so tired of being treated like a junkie with a drug that works.... I am going to a headache clinic soon and fear that they will want to try new things soon as well... I wish I could just find someone that knew that this is what works for me... | F | 39 | 4 years 20 mg 4X M | 9/6/2010 | 5 | Cyclical Migraines | I get a Phenergan shot along with the Nubain due to moderate to severe nausea that usually accompanies the migraines. The shot burns but well worth it as the headache is relieved within 15 min. after shot. The negative is that I loose an entire day due to the opiate effects. I do have a very blissful sleep off of about 8 to 10 hrs. A welcome pleasure from the severe pain of the migraines. A slight residual of grogginess following day. | After migraines started post-meno no other common migraine treatments are as effective as a Phenergan backed Nubain shot!!. I've tried almost all other commonly prescribed meds. Toradol/percocet/fiorinal. AND forget the two newest "Immatrex" type tabs! | F | 55 | 1 days 20mgs 1X AN | 5/28/2010 | 5 | Migraine | When getting this shot it does burn like crazy while being injected. But, after battling a migraine for 5 days this five second burning sensation is nothing. This medicine does work quickly. Within 10-15 minutes I am feeling no pain. After about an hour it makes you very sleepy. I usually sleep 4-6 hours after an injection. | I've battled migraines for over 10 years. After countless trips to the ER, shots of demerol and several other pain killers, I finally found one that worked! I get a shot of nubain and phenergen and I am good to go. The end result far out ways any side effects. | F | 26 | 8 years 1X AN | 2/23/2010 | 5 | migraine | injected in my hip for debilitating migraine. doctor would not administer without someone available to drive me home. headache was gone in 15 minutes, i was gone in 20. it seemed to be long-lasting as I was still a little woozy the following day. | I would definitely use it again for a headache that bad. | F | 41 | 1 days 1X D | 2/4/2010 | 1 | Severe wrist pain | Muscle spasms, terrible feeling of paranoia & being alone, sweaty, clammy, felt like insides were on fire and nausea. | This medicine did not even help my wrist pain. The Doctor told me these are normal effects of the drug after he started injecting it!! I would have never taken the drug if I had known. | M | 40 | 1 times | 12/6/2009 | 3 | migraine | Felt like 10 yellow jacket stings at once, but just in hip where I got the shot. 6 weeks later, still feels like I got the shot yesterday and there is slight numbness around injection site. It took 2 injections to ease the pain. | Not saying I'd NEVER take it again, (migraines can get pretty bad) but would sure try to find something else first! | F | 53 | 1 days | 12/3/2009 | 5 | Migraines | extreme agitation. | hard to tell what caused the agitation, as nubain was one of the last drugs tried. it did relieve the pain and let me sleep for the remainder of the day. | F | 34 | 1 days | 5/30/2009 | 5 | Migraines | sedation, euphoria, polyuria (makes me pee a lot!) | This knocks a migraine right out and can be taken IM or intravenously, but has a tricky side to it. If you are not tolerant to pain medications, it feels like morphine, BUT: If you already take Lortabs, Percocet or anything similar, the antagonistic effects of nalbuphine will put you into instant withdrawals. Doctors should really ask if you have taken narcotics recently before administering this. I have heard of so many people having bad reactions beacuse of the physicians negligence and blamed it on the medication. | M | 23 | 2 years | 2/25/2009 | 1 | contractions during pre-term labor | hallucinations, weird dreams, itching all over, animated talk during sleep, horrible sense of feeling alone | never again. worst pain medication i've ever taken. | F | 24 | 1 days | 2/20/2009 | 2 | Major back surgery do to broken bac | Profuse sweating, dizzy, nausea, crazy dreams. Did not relieve pain. | Only one dose of Nuain IM after discharged from hospital. Starting running 103 fever, went to local hospital because hospital I was discharged from is 70 miles away. I was in severe pain along with fever. | M | 42 | 1 days | 10/20/2008 | 5 | Bursitis | I was very hyper and I had cold sweats. I do however think i like this better than the pain. my shoulder and arm was in so much pain it was convulsing. I was taking it for 1 month and then off and on for 2 months until pain was gone. I didn't feel it was addicting, but i have not addicted personality. i will and have recomended this to others. | F | 27 | 3 months | 10/13/2008 | 1 | Itching from IV pain meds | On injection to IV in hand, I felt that my entire circulatory system had been filled with kerosene and lit on fire!!! I texted my son from hospital I was dying right then. Blood pressure went up from 70's to 135 in first two minutes; temp from normal to 104 in less than 1 min. Then severe sweating, hot; severe sweating, cold. | I will never allow this to be administered again and will wear ID indicating adverse/allergic reaction. | F | 61 | 1 days | 6/10/2008 | 1 | MIGRAINE | FELT LIKE DARTS STICKING ALL OVER BODY CREEPY CRAWLERS FEELING ALL OVER ROLLED IN FLOOR FOR 5 HOURS CHILLS | F | 53 | 1 times | 2/20/2008 | 1 | chronic pain | burning skin, cold sweats, muscle contractions, disassociative - out of body feeling, tingley all over, twitchy, heightened senses, agitation, thought I was going to die -- it was a complete nightmare that lasted about 4 hours until the ER team administered benedryl and ativan | F | 49 | 1 days | 11/23/2007 | 4 | Migraine, chronic | Very slight drowsiness | Beats Percocet for relieving migraine pain ONLY because it did not tend to make me itchy. | M | 39 | 30 times | 9/2/2007 | 1 | Abdominal Pain | At first I got real sweaty and clamy, then started violently getting sick to my stomach and shaking. The worse feeling of my life, I will NEVER allow anyone to give me that again. | F | 37 | 1 times | 7/22/2007 | 5 | ER injection- cluster headache | None | I was having an excruciating cluster- beating my head against the wall, etc.- demoral, other drugs had no effect. Finally, after several hours, they tried Nubain, and it stopped the killer headache. | M | 53 | 1 times | 7/10/2007 | 1 | Post Surgery for pain | Burning sensation spread through body. Tightness in chest. Feeling of panic. Thought I was dying. | One of the scarest moments in my life. | F | 42 | 3 days | 6/24/2007 | 5 | childbirth | F | 34 | 1 days | 4/27/2007 | 4 | spinal stnosis, nuromas,RSD | I slept better, some brief nausea, could sleep on stomach that I hadn't been able to do for years, increased mobility with a new zest for life and being active | Here in MO NUBAIN has been banned due to drug abusers. They have forgotten thoes of us it has helped when nothing else did in 15 years. I am wanting help in getting it back into ligit use for those in pain.

I can't tolorate it. | F | 67 | 4 months | 2/23/2007 | 1 | Migraine headache | Profuse sweating, clammy skin, tightness in chest, feeling of anxiety, trouble breathing | I would NEVER take this drug again!

The Nubain got rid of the headache within 10 minutes. | F | 47 | 1 days | 11/7/2006 | 4 | Head Pain from brain inflamation | None | I am alergic to nsaids - this was much better than percs or vicotin | F | 46 | 2 days | 7/24/2006 | 1 | PAIN | INSTANT BURNING OF ENTIRE BODY, THEN NUMBNESS & SHAKING. THEN SICKNESS, JUST FEELING LIKE I WAS GOING TO DIE. | I WAS GIVEN THIS DRUG BY INJECTION AT THE HOSPITAL. | M | 37 | 1 days | 12/20/2005 | 5 | M | 36 | 1 years | 11/21/2005 | 5 | for chronic pain | F | 39 | 5 years | 10/30/2005 | 5 | Bodybuilding | sweating,anxety,big time mood swings | Great for pain relief...if you have to stop be careful you will for sure be messed up for a while. | M | 3 years | 10/28/2005 | 5 | body building jont pain | very addictive, slight sickness, euphoria, aggression, itching | When going without the drug experienced withdrawal symptoms including restlessness, nausea, extreme anxiety | M | 33 | 2 years | 9/16/2005 | 1 | headache pain | sensations of freezing, then burning up; general sense that I was dying | I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. | F | 52 | 1 days | 6/5/2005 | 5 | chronic pain | dry mouth, occasional itching that subsided with use, | Using regulary Nubain helped me to function better in all areas | F | 48 | 2 years | 4/2/2005 | 1 | headache | Terrible sweating, itching, nervousness, | Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy | F | 25 | 1 times | 3/29/2005 | 5 | herniated disk in my lumbar. | itchy,moody.but worth the pain relief! | I was completely pain free... | F | 27 | 1 days | 2/7/2005 | 4 | Dislocated Ankle | Itching, sleepinness but I am pretty sure that was from the penergan which was injected with it. | Overall it worked pretty good. | M | 25 | 1 times | 1/17/2005 | 5 | pain | headaches,makes me moody | great for pain , if you have to stop....watch out | M | 40 | 2 years | 12/21/2004 | 3 | Migraine | Sleepiness due to phenegran being injected with it also.
