Dosage: 100 mg Daily
Advice & Tips: I took this for a month when it first was approved by the FDA & I did not get any relief from it at all. I could not tell any impact it had because it felt like I didn't take anything. So my doctor went back to my Tramadol that I had been taking since it did give me some relief.
