Comment:
I have been on this drug for 5 plus years for severe chronic back pain. Let me first start out by saying that this drug is The DEVIL. Withdrawals are as bad as Heroin from what I hear. I lost 5 years of my life, family, friends and relationships to this drug. I would not recommend starting it if you don't absolutely have to. Works ok for pain though.

I have been taking this medicine for aprox 15years and tried a pluthera of different drugs and I have had great results with it.
