"i took 25mg of this drug for 20 years after being diagnosed with 7 different auto immune diseases including lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. i went off it last may, due to increased irritability. my symptoms all returned from the diseases....burning feet and toes, pain in knees and hips and back and shoulders... so i started back on my 25mg.
the first night i slept through the whole night..first time in months. i&#039;m on day 5 and still have the hung over feeling 24/7, but nothing hurts. my whole body has a tingling sensation which is much more tolerable than pain.
however my appetite has doubled, which is a huge worry as weight gain equals more pain in the joints. but i&#039;ll take having to watch my food intake over pain anyday"
