"this drug has been a game changer for me. previously i was maxxed out on norco 10/325 (6 a day), and it barely touched my pain (herniated disk blew out, compressed my sciatic nerve, had emergency surgery to correct that because i&#039;d lost function in my right leg and foot; foot works now, but left with chronic severe pain) and my ability to work or even to do regular housework was severely impacted.
nucynta to the rescue! i started on 4x50mg/day, which was increased to 6 per day. after i was stable on that, i was switched to 2x100mg nucynta er per day, with 2x50mg nucynta immediate release for breakthrough pain.
the first couple of days i was nauseated and a bit spacey, but soon those issues went away along with most of my pain. i love it!"
