sort of worked made me high so i did not care but did not get rid of the pain
Working / Worked
On a 1-10 scale, it brings my pain down from an 8 to a 6.
Working / Worked
I take 20 mg Kadian every 12 hours. I have LOTS of breakthrough pain even at that, but it does help the diffuse pain as well as some nerve impingement pain that's not related to the FM.
Working / Worked
helps somewhat
Working / Worked
Worked but too strong it knocked me out
Working / Worked
Did not work, side effects, twitches, but other narcotics like oxycodone IR did work, and methadone worked also, but had to be with a short acting or it caused drying effect, causing migraines.
Working / Worked
On oxycontin..helps some
Working / Worked
The MS-Contin was greatly beneficial in the ER form, however the side-effects of stopping everything up internally was the worst.
Working / Worked
Helps somewhat with pain. Don't like the grogginess it causes. I take Endocet now only when I really need it because I'm afraid of addiction on pain meds
Working / Worked
2 Years on, recently changed to Fentanyl. Fentanyl does not work, but tolerance was high from the Morphine, hence the switch.
