I have been dealing with chronic pain for years. This med is pretty helpful. I use it along with a muscle relaxant and one for nerve pain. The three together work in concert, but it's not all that great on it's own, because it's one I've developed a tolerance to. I am fortunate to be one who does not develop addictions, but dependency is inevitable, when used for as long as I have. The current dem...

This drug eases the pain I have with lymphoma. It has all but eliminated it. I get somewhat of a buzz or sleepiness when using it. Currently I am taking 2 every 4 hours as prescribed by my doctor.

I have chronic pancreatitis due to long term gallbladder problem. I now have stents in my bile duct and dueodum. It would be nice to know other living with my diagnosis as I am in and out of the hospital since my surgery.

Suffer in chronic pain from Chiari Malformation and Syringomyelia which causes (for me) terrible headaches that just don't go away-have had 6 surgeries in total for this. While this medication works well at the begining-it is a short acting medication-which I found out from my doctor-and for me the 8mg never lasts the full 6 hours (for me that's how many hours it was prescribed for). However it works a lot better than other medications I have been on in the past and I haven't had any bad side effects from it.Read More Read Less

i have crohns disease. when i get a flair up this stuff is what they give me to get rid of the pain and it does fast...however, the nausea that comes with it has me closing my eyes for two hours because if i look at things like the movement from even tv makes nausea gets worse. like motion sickness almost. but its worth the side effect to get rid of the agonizing stomach pain i can get.

I broke my right leg and badly broke my right scaffoid in my arm at the same time and I was given percocet which did not do anything so they gave me 2mg of this and it made me have really weird thoughts and instant depression. Be careful when you first take it because of suicidal thoughts. I have doctor friends that have had to take it and it caused them the ssame thing at first but mine never went away so I went back to percocet and muscle relaxants

WHile I realize that I was on a much stronger medication (Fentora 600 microgram), this medication is not effective at all as compared to the Fentora. The side effects all add to the overall ineffectiveness of the medication.

I just had bicept re-attachment surgery. This Rx has very little effectiveness on me. They started me on 2, 2mg tablets every 4 hrs and uped me to 4, 2mg tablets It creates grogginess, nausea, and itchiness. The lack of pain relief comes to me as a surprises because I try to never use any pain relievers including, advil or anything like it.
