Side effects:: Nausea

Date: Aug 22, 2011

Cost: < $25 monthly

Date: Nov 10, 2010
Advice & Tips: Helps drop my pain levels from 7-8 down to a 4-6. Doesn't always work when my pain is at its worst, but it helps quite a bit.

Side effects:: Itching (pruritus), Dizziness, Brain fog

Date: Jul 29, 2011
Advice & Tips: In the beginning this medicine made me ITCH like crazy. It also made me dizzy, drowsy and increased my brain fog. I only take it when I absolutely have so much pain that I can't move. It does kill the pain, but I do NOT really like how I feel the first hour or so after it kicks in.
