"i&#039;ve suffered from chronic pain my entire life and often haven&#039;t been able to sleep as a result. i found this medication to often be very helpful. though it took several weeks to really work, it definitely helped me sleep and my pain has decreased. i was started at a very low dose, which gave me a lot of flexibility to move up and down as the situation required. taking the medication coincided with some slight weight gain, but this could have been due to a vareity of other factors. overall i found it very helpful!"
