I am on my second month with this medication and I'm not to pleased with it. This is the second time trying it & now i remember why I stopped. I have night sweats, bad mood swings and I still have pain. I still have to take Vicodin every day to help with pain. I have gained 10 lbs and feel swollen every day. Nothing fits me anymore and I feel miserable. I eat healthy and watch my intake
