Now in total remission. Suffered a number of side effect but nothing that really bothered me except for the 'moon-face' and the fat around my stomach - had to take a number of other medications at the same time to keep blood pressure down (Bisoprolol, Zestrill and Amlor) and also medi to lower my blood-sugar - a lot of medi however I had no choice - stopped and approx 2-3 months later my body fat/face was back to normal. Suffered some bone-pain (in the morning) about one week after I stopped which disappeared after a couple of weeks.

I have chronic back spasms occurring 1 to 2 times annually when severe I'm quite incapacitated walkng around like a very old person with every move having to be delicate. I do not like taking drugs period but tried this one (6 day pack). I had a football & softball game to play on sunday and began treatment on friday morning. Based on how I felt friday, there was no way I was going to play my sports. Sat. morning, to my surprise, I felt fantastic! I could not believe this. I was shocked. I ended up playing both with no discomfort at all. To me, it was like a miracle! It's mon. morning now so I'm still concerned if i'm doing any damage to me unknowingly. In addition, my hamstrings have been tight/sore all year and they feel amazing too. This is unbelievable. I feel ten yrs younger. As for side affects, I do have some minor anxious feelings and extra energy but I'm sleeping fine. I'd like to take this stuff every time my back acts (up to twice a year) up provided that as I wean my self off this (6 day pack) stuff, my back is back to normal. I'm a very active athletic person that surfs, plays softball, football, runs etc. I'll find out later this week if this drug is what I need in the long term. I'm also fortunate concerning the mild side effects are minor to me.

Everyone must remember that drugs in general affect different people differently. For me this drug gave me insomnia for the first night only, but then it actually helped me sleep the 2nd night on. And, I used it to reduce the inflammation from a root canal issue. It did a great job. I am on day 5 of 6 and have no side effects besides the one night of insomnia.
