"i have been on this dosage since 1/09 due to 2nd and 3rd degree burns to my scalp and ears. i take 2 pills 3x per day. it has been a god send! the only side effect i have noticed is pain intensifies for about 15 minutes after i take it, then it subsides. thank goodness i have a great doctor who is not afraid to prescribe opioids. she realizes i need it, not want it. i now feel like doing more than laying on the couch curled up in agony."
