"Excellent for anxiety, especially if you start with the minimum amount, 0.25 mg and only take more if needed. I say this because I was prescribed 0.5 mg 3x daily and don't need that much. Try to take the least amount and if that works don't take more since you can build up a slight tolerance over time. My on... | 1 |

"I have had very bad migraines for years when a neurologist prescribed the stadol ns and for the first time in years I had relief.
