Pain
"I have severe gastroparesis and my abdominal pain has been very bad through the years but has gotten worse the past 2 years. I have taken all levels of Lortab, Tylenol #3 and Demerol.  I would only take the Demerol when I was having a flare up had break through pain.  About 10 months ago, my doctor asked me if I would try Nucynta, that it was a newer pain medicine and does not cause the &quot;euphoric&quot; feeling.  I started off my taking 50 mg and would double up if pain was extremely bad.  This medicine has been great for me!  When I saw my pain management doctor for the 1st time, he upped my dosage to 75mg.  I average 2 a day.  It relieves my pain and I don&#039;t have any of the side effects.  I can even work when I take it and that is huge."
