Working / Worked
Side effects are hard to tolerate
Working / Worked
At first, I was very sleepy all the time. Body adjusted to it. Helps reduce anxiety well.
Working / Worked
It worked but I am not a fan of prescriptions that mask the problem. I prefer natural remedies to manage my pain. Magnesium, Turmeric, Fish Oil high in EPA, Ginger and Ashwagandha to name a few favorites.
Working / Worked
Doing well, but the pain is still there
Working / Worked
Bad headaches but calmed me down a bit
Working / Worked
dont work
I cant take it regularly because I build up a tolerance. I take it every other night or so. Helps numb pain all over my body. Not like a narcotic or anything just helps keep the pain sensations down somehow.
Working / Worked
The doctor prescribed this in conjunction with the Dilantin.
It helps I think but I want to give it more time before I decide or try something else.
Fatigue and weight fluctuation.
