  • Burden
    Not at all hard to take
Dosage: As needed
Advice & Tips: I end up usually taking 2 pills a day. One at noon so that the pain is minimized to get thru the afternoon of work and once when I get home. The day before a storm front, the pain is much worse and I may need 3. This pill will wake me up, not put me to sleep. There are still days where I don't need it at all. I usually only need one a day on the weekends.
