"like most of the comments i have read i take this medicine to function from having severe back pain from a epidural gone wrong i also get severe menstrual cramps that feel like contractions its like i am giving birth once a month i have four young children who need my constant attention and without this medicine i would not be able to do simple things. other medicine would just make me feel funny and i would still be crying from how much pain i had, not to mention being irritated just because of pain i was always having. now i take 80mg a day, sometimes less my pain would be so severe in the morning that i could not stand. now i get up feeling pretty good and when i don&#039;t need it i don&#039;t take."
