Pain
"This is the first medicine that dropped my back pain from 10 to a 2. I was on increasing oxycodone for years due to crushed back in accident. Had 5 herniated discs L1 - L5 which eventually developed bone spurs and arthritis. Severe radiating leg pain would cause leg numbness and some great falls in public. Surgery was recommended - I declined. 15 years later my psychiatrist prescribed it for anxiety/mood stabilizer to replace Depakote (also an anti-convulsant). 
3 days later I noticed I could get by with Advil and gabapentin. Why didn&#039;t my ortho surgeon give me this? I take 900 mg/ day. Only been on it 3 weeks
and I&#039;m a different person."
