Labor Pain
"I was given STADOL because I was at 3 cm for so long, yet my contractions were getting unbearable (can&#039;t get the epidural until 4 cm).  The nurse told me, it works for some people and not for others. I am assuming it either takes the pain away or it doesn&#039;t. Well, it literally made me INSTANTLY start sweating, and my eyes were rolling in the back of my head.  However, no pain relief.  I got extremely restless and an intense feeling of confusion and dysphoria.  I was so unprepared for that feeling, it&#039;s horrible.  Being in a hospital, in labor, confused, restless, still feeling everything.  I researched it when I got home and apparently, only somewhere around 1% experience this.  Just pray you&#039;re the lucky 99%."
