Comment:
Have severe lower back pain, have been on various pain pills, and opiates finally I was prescribed tapentadol 100mg ER twice a day after a couple of months it was changed to 50mg in the a.m. and p.m. and it worked quicker. I have been on this program for about 5 years now with no side effects and the pain is now controlled.

I take this medication for Central Pain Syndrome. It replaced Oxycodone and has been much more effective. I have no side effects, it works in about half the time, and seems stronger. Overall this drug has been a life saver for me and I’m thankful to have it.
