Pain
"I started this med after 8 yrs of methadone for chronic widespread pain. Was originally started out with a very low dose of 10mg 2X daily and it didn&#039;t seem to help at all. Was raised to 40 mg and for some strange reason after not feeling as though it was helping and going to 3X a day I was given the name brand instead of the genetic and within 24 hrs I noticed a measurable difference. Now my insurance won&#039;t pay for the name brand and although in the same dose, 40 mg 3X daily I feel like I&#039;ve been given a placebo. The name brand works wonderfully as long as I take an instant release med with it but if I don&#039;t it is not effective enough to let me sleep without tossing and turning. I am taking a total of 120 mg per day."
