They work well but the relief is very short lived, and they make me tired and I usually fall asleep for about 1 1/2 hours. In comparison, I ate Vicodin like candy and they were doing nothing. My DR now has me also on lidoderm patches and 50mg ultram. The Ultram is a little longer lasting and not as strong. The Patches are A++. They will get me away from Narcotics which will be nice.Read More Read Less
