chronic pain
"I have had back problems for a very long time, female trouble (hysterectomy @ 31 yrs old) and fibromyalgia.   Also have severe arthritis (runs in our family I believe)   As 4 rating this medicine, it helped  tons with the pain but the downside (very bad downside) was after taking it for so long when you stop you get so very sick.  In my opinion, the sickness is worse than coming off of Percocet, Vicodin, etc. Don't know why that is but that's just what I expect for myself.   I know all about slowly cutting down your doses and all and I surely didn't expect it 2 be rainbows and sunshine, but in my experience it was worse than the DT's you get from the others I mentioned.   Aside from that, it did help with the pain a great deal."
