Pain
"The stuff works pretty well for my arthritic joint pain. I asked my doctor for the lowest possible dose (50 mg) and combined with parecetemol (acetaminophen) and codeine you get a synergistic effect so I can get by with a relatively low dose. When I got the prescription filled and the pharmacist said, &lsquo;maximum of eight per day&rsquo; I said incredulously, &lsquo;Eight did you say eight?&rsquo; because I couldn&rsquo;t believe I&rsquo;d heard her right and the pharmacist smiled and said, &lsquo;you&rsquo;d be surprised at the number of people that take eight per day&rsquo;. Clearly there are a lot of people abusing this drug."
