"i take norco, methocarbamol, gabapentin, and motrin. the pain was still so bad i couldn&#039;t take it anymore. i went to pain management and demanded surgery. i told her that i only had about 2 decent hours a day. she asked if i would try nucynta er. my mother was completely addicted to morphine before she died, so i am careful not to ever over-medicate. i started with 50mg er - i was so relieved...it helped so much. no side effects, except maybe dry mouth, but i had that before the nucynta. after about two years i had to increase dosage to 100mg er. still no side effects. at one point the pharmacy couldn&#039;t get nucynta for over a month. i couldn&#039;t take any during that month,and i had no withdrawals. the pain came back of course, but that&#039;s it !"
