A quick trip: Drugs for birth
by Nancy and Betsy

The painkillers you can get during and after birth are pretty strong... but are they strong enough to addict you? "The main drugs used for IV relief are Stadol (butorphanol tartrate) and Nubain (nalbuphine hydrochloride), both synthetic opioids," says Ob/Gyn David Barrere, M.D., F.A.C.O.G. The opioid family also includes heroin, methadone, morphine and codeine - not exactly drugs you want to mess with. But, says Barrere, "While opioids are addictive substances, they are used in such small doses and for short durations that they are not a risk for chemical dependence."
