Comment:
Took the first pill last night. I will not take another. The neuropathic pain event I had after taking the capsule was far worse than any neuropathic event that I have had. I felt like I was having a heart attack-fast heart beat, hard to breath...and my hands turned really red. Maybe an allergic reaction?

Comment:
I am very happy with the decreased pain in my feet. I have been on 30 mg a day and have experienced side effects. I have started having some tremors in my hands and I have had a number of sleepless nights. The side effects seem to be less now that I have been taking for more then a month.

Was prescribed for chronic back pain. Has been totally effective in the relief of my pain. My back has not felt this good in over a decade.

I was told by my pain consultant to take this medication, so I did. Worst mistake ever, never felt so bad.

Comment:
I have been taking this drug several months for RSD, regional pain syndrome, due to a broken wrist last April. The nerve pain in the wrist has significantly decreased but I find myself very sleepy in the daytime and difficulty sleeping at night. Also, cotton mouth and very thirsty. Overall, I believe it to be effective.
