Was the best thing that I have taken so far, but when they took me off it, as the doctors thought they'd try something that helps with pain as well, I felt as though It was a mask, and who I was on the medication was SO different to what I was without it. In the beginning, felt nauseous after taking for a little while, but if taken after food, this was ok.
