"this pills are a blessing! i started with 50mg er twice a day, then increased to 2 x 50mg twice a day. 3 days ago it was increased again to 150mg er twice a day and 75mg for breakthroughs pain. 
i think the er dosage will get increased once more to reduce the amount of the 75&#039;s i&#039;m taking through the day as i&#039;ve have had to take them every 6 h.
i have quite a few side effects: hot flashes, sweating, incredibly itchy, very shakey, decrease appetite, nausea and today for the first time, vomiting.

but, i&#039;m about 80% pain free and to me, that&#039;s a win. i&#039;ll take the side effects (maybe not so much the vomiting), especially the decreased appetite lol

i have tried dilauded, naproxin, percocet and a couple others that i can&#039;t remember the names"
