October 23, 2009 12:16 AM I have taken this med for several years now. I also have Fibromyalgia and chronic upper and lower back pain, this is the reason I started on it. When I first started taking it I could feel it (the pain relieving) running down my spine and spreading out from there, until all the pain was numbed. I have to take it 3 times a day. When my Diabetic Neuropathy started my Dr had to raise my dose up and it with Potassium prescription stop the neuropathy within 30 minutes of taking it. Pros:small capsule, easy to swallow, I've had no side effects at all Cons:NONE |
