Drug Classification Of Nubain
(Newest replies first)

Updated

Years ago Nubain used to be a popular and effective drup for pain. It was the only thin that relieved my mom's back pain or my migrain headaches. I am a nurse and haven't heard of anyone getting Nubain in years so I asked an MD recently. He couldn't give me an answer. If it's not classified as a narcotic and relieves pain, why aren't more doctors prescribing it?

Recently my Child was given nubain mixed with anesthesia for an MRI procedure. It is said he was moving around. This seems a bit odd as to my child was ever given this before. After the procedure he had a severe headache, finger nails were visibly blue and shivering with coldness. Thereafter he went into convulsion and passed out. Now my child also complains of pain in chest when inhaling. and pain on the right side of hip and stomach. I never knew that anesthesiologist give this to such children, and I believe he never had this before. It was clear they were rushing us in and out of the facility. has anyone experienced this?

They are sister drugs so unfortunately I'm not surprised she had a reaction to Nubain if she does with Stadol.

The Stadol helped me a lot..My Doctor used to be a pharmacist. He said the best one in that family is TALWIN. I have not been able to find it however.

no it isnt a class c drug and it is rediculous that doctors here in the usa wont prescribe it more than the other drugs that are sooooooo adictive and also class c drugs, it is soo rediculous because this medicine works wonderful for pain and there is NO ADDICTIVE QUALITYS TO IT...Hence why it isnt prescribed more often than not!!! I get it for my severe epilepsy seizures and the pain from them...I also got it for after two of my surgeries when I had a total hystarectomy!!! I will only use this medication when I am in severe pain now instead of the dilaudid I was given like candy!!! It is so sad that class c drugs are given to just about anyone like it is candy!!! :-(

Actually there are dome doctors who do prescribe it. It is a narcotic, however it is the only narcotic not scheduled by the DEA Federally. It is scheduled in Kentucky because weight lifters figured out they could abuse it and throw an extra hundred lbs on and not feel it at the time. I take nubain daily.

Hi, RELIEVED. I live in Ohio. My Dr.s keep prescibing me Oxycodone, Hydromorphone, Fentanyl, etc. I asked for Nubain and they said it "does not work well" or "don't think they make that anymore". I was given it years ago and it worked better for me than any of those other ones. I would appreciate any info you could give me on Nubain. If you don't mind what state are you in? Thanks BRUCE

i have been taking Nubain now for almost 9 yrs. yes it is a shot but it beats migraines any day. it is the only thing i can take that control my pain without putting me in the bed. Sometimes I have trouble getting my prescription refilled cause the quit producing. i was prescribed this by my neurologist who happened to have done a study on the drug.

Actually here in the States Nubain is a narcotic, however it is the only narcotic that is Not scheduled due to the fact is not considered a drug that can be easily abused. There is one State (KY) that chose to put it on their scheduled list, only because weightlifters were abusing it there.

They are in the same drug class. However "hallucinations" are not an allergic reaction but a common adverse reaction/side effect of these types of medications.

Nubain is absolutely not banned. The only state in the US that lists Nubain as a narcotic is Kentucky, giving it a classification of C-IV (one above the lowest schedule of narcotics).

Nubain was given to me 30 years ago for a severe headache, pain was relieved and I slept for about 6 hours awaken and no side effects. Stadol I hallucinated, still had the pain after sleeping for 12 hours and was still drowsy. I'm a nurse and I was just thinking about why Nubain is not given. I'm a Fibromyliygia patient nothing works and so many causes side effects. I would love to try Nubain, to see if it works. I hate shots, but to have some relief, I'm willing to to a shot.

22 years ago I was given Nubain and that is what kicked off my addiction to opiates. If i didnt have it i was horribly dope sick. I KNOW that i was addicted to it, i know others that was as bad as i was on it also. If it isnt a narcotic it should be, and in my opinion it should only be given to the most CHRONIC cases.

Nalbuphine is a synthetic opioid analgesic and is not a controlled substance. It was removed from the controlled substance act in 1976. I have been on it for over 3 years and thanks to this medicationiI can walk again. Unfortunately I have serious problems getting it filled. I first got it in Puerto Rico where it is illegal to prescribe morphine and oxycontine and I think it works better with a far less chance of withdrawal and a far less chance oof stopping breathing from accidentally taking too much. Do not drink alcohol while on this medicationbecause it severely increases the eeffects of the alcohol
