I love this medication. It was the only thing that worked for the pain.

larger does works although try to take this drug late in afternoon or early evening so I am not drowsy at work. Although I need this drug all day

Very helpful but addictive. I tend to get tolerant to meds easily and have to take more for flare ups and I am really at the end of the line for muscle relaxants. I have to taper this occassionally then go back on a lower dose to make it work the same again. Next thing i guess is the pain clinic.
