Scary SCARY Stadol !!
Yes, i have been perscribed Stadol for a period of time -for migraines. It had the scariest side-effect of making my personality change into something mean and nasty and argumentative. And i mean MEAN which was completely alien and unfamiliar to me. Sound seemed to have had the volume turned up too many decibels. i also became forgetful and got 'face-sweats' something awful. But the very scariest part was the 'personality change' into someone cold and mean. AND definate opium-like withdrawals when i refused to take it anymore.
i can't imagine it countering depression, unless being disconnected and uncaring relieves a soul-pain somehow. It was like having my soul 'removed'.
oh- i was on Zoloft at the time, and had been for a year or more with no side-effects there when i began the daily Stadol. Off and on Stadol for a couple weeks -->months on and off. Just couldn't get beyond the weirdness. Nor could my lover or kindergartners. Migraines were almost better.
Hope this helps,
Escher
