I went through a 10 day trial for it and found it to be near miraculous for me. I in that week and a half my opiate consumption was cut by 30-40%, I could fall asleep and stay asleep for most of the night & bear contact to the affected area on the good days. That was something that had been taken from me 12 years before hand. A completely internal system by Medtronic was implanted. It's helped immensely, though the drawbacks are pack revisions & limitations due to the leads in the spine.

In the beginning I tried several meds until finally my neurologist put me on Carbitrol. He increased my dosage slowly until the pain subsided and he kept me on it for the next 4 years. The side effects were affecting my job so 2 months ago my Dr weaned me off the meds. So far the pain hasn't returned.

Worked great for years but they don't work forever. Once they stop working for me I had to increase my meds.
