I was started on the minimum dose 30mg. Then after a week went up to 60mg. You are right Shelley6, everyone is different, and will experience different side effects to someone else. That's why I took it, when I knew I wasn't doing anything or going anywhere for a few days xxx

I asked my doctor about it when the first big advertisement push happened. At that point all the side effects had not been reported and I hoped for relief.. It seemed to work well, over the years it no longer worked and I started to have more side effects. At this point the side effects are much worse than the initial pain. I am very slowly tapering off it. Highly addictive I cannot miss a dose. I wish I had never started it. Believe the articles you have read it is not worth it.

I'm on it and have been on it for 6 months. First few days, it gave me sore eyes, and felt a bit dizzy, and restless at night.This lasted about a week. I don't know what dose you were started on, but I was put on minimum 30mg, now I am on maximum 120mg as my depression /anxiety and pain was so bad 💖 xxx

Perhaps try to instead treat the underlying causation, it's more effective than slapping band - aids on symptoms. see my prior posts on Dr. J Teitelbaum's brilliant protocols in his books.

I'm taking melexocam for inflammation. It really helps the pain. Plus I take effexor xr and geodon for anxiety and depression. It all works great!
