Helps e to sleep.
Working / Worked
Helped ease the pain a little when it was excruciating but never got rid of it. Now its more effective.
Working / Worked
Worked well for me. side effects include shaking feeling. There was a conflict between taking tramadol and cymbalta. Unfortunately I am not able to take ultram for these reasons.
Working / Worked
least takes a bit of the edge off. but not always.. and also take valium for panic attacks from the back pain
Working / Worked
Not very sucessful as a pain killer. Have recently been prescribed some sort of patch but I have not collected this yet
Working / Worked
Has always helped. Now I take 8 tabs a day but doc is okay with that and it takes the edge off whichever joints are flaring up.
Working / Worked
I am currently taking this medication. It is supposedly nonnarcotic but it has an opium type base and I go through withdrawal symptoms if I do not take it rooutinely. This medication can be combined with any over the counter pain medications without adverse effects and is suppose to enhance their pain relieving capabilities. It works well when combined with Advil Tylenol Excedrin etc to dull the constant pain but does not alleviate it completely.
Working / Worked
It helps keep the walking and pain down for night time.
Working / Worked
250mg to 300mg a day maintains a pain level I can work and live with. Any less is unworkable. Side-effects NON, but I'm worried about long-term problems staying on it as an opiate?
