I tried, it worked, but then I ended up with a fixed drug eruption. Basically a rash on one specific area of my body. So, if you can tolerate it I would say it is worth a try. I actually cried when I realized it was another drug I could not take since it was wonderful to be pain free for a few days until I realized I was having yet another reaction. Now all opioids are on my allergy list. Again, it is worth a try I didn't have any mental side effects, the pain went away, I felt good. Good luck, I hope it gives you relief.

Thanks so much for the input! Sorry you had a bad reaction since it was giving you some pain relief.

Definitely worth a try. I have read in other groups that some people have success with it. Most found that it was not strong enough.

I never tried myself, as it is not on my list for paid meds. I take Morphine now 3x a day. It does help, but doesn't eliminate the pain. I found Lyrica to be very good, but it too is not on the list of covered med and they do not get enough samples at my MD's to keep taking.

Good luck

I tried it. I had it on for 5 days and had to take it off. I put it on my right arm and it became red around the patch. Not long after the red rash I had pain up my arm and into my neck. I was told to take it off asap.

I am like rdms...I am very sensitive to meds and haven't found anything yet that helps.

I pray this one works for you :) Everyone is different, so just because it didn't work for me doesn't mean it won't for you.

((hugs))
