I'm very sensitive to medications so was hesitant when my pain management doctor suggested it. I take 50mg 3x daily and it helps so much that I've been able to get back to my old activity level.

    Pain from nerve damage in SI joints in both hips. On 50mg of Nucynta for 3 days. So far no pain relief. I think I will need at least 100mg if it will help me at all. This is my 5th pain med. The first three did not work....the 4th landed me in the ER. This has been no fun at all!

    I find the 200mg slow release is too hard to breakdown after they changed the composition, I have to have on empty stomach to feel any pain relief. It does t last 12 hours more close to 10 hours. My digestion is so fragile and slow despite my healthy efforts.
