Pain
"I have been taking this medication for nerve pain in my leg. I have a ruptured disc in my back which is causing me severe nerve pain down my leg. Pain medicines do not work on me so I had been suffering for awhile. No sleep and lots of pain. Not good! My doctor put me on this medicine and I can now function better. I have gotten much needed sleep and overall feel a little better. There are side effects though. I would stay very groggy and would lose some fine motor skills for quite awhile after waking up in the morning. I found that if I lessened the dose the effects were much less. I do have more pain throughout the day but I am more alert and functional. I think the drug has helped me a lot."
