I just saw a specialist who recommended trying these meds. I know all meds work differently but wondering if anyone could tell me if either of these helped.

Members shared mixed experiences with Nabilone and Nucynta for pain management, with one member reporting that a friend found Nabilone helpful for pain relief and sleep, while two members tried Nucynta without success, describing side effects like migraines and a jittery, caffeinated feeling. Several members expressed curiosity about these medications, noting confusion about Nabilone's use since it's often described as being for nausea, and questioned whether these were available in their country. A recurring theme was the highly individual nature of pain medication, with members describing different treatment paths including Tramadol, Cymbalta, chiropractic care, and the challenge of finding effective relief when bodies become accustomed to higher doses.

My best friend is on Nabilone. She finds it really helps here and she gets a really good sleep on it.

I tried Nucynta and it didn't work. It's a narcotic pain medication. My body is used to a high dose of narcotics so I just don't think the dosages worked. I went back to normal meds.

Never heard of them, but if they work for you, please let me know.
