"i have been taking talwin nx for about 3 years now.  i have two fractures in my mid and lower back.  the first doctor i saw for this condition had me on vicodin 10mg.  he had me on 56 pills a week.  after awhile, my weekly appointments stopped being about pain and started to be about getting that script filled.  i finally woke up to the fact that i was addicted to these pills.  it really scared me.  i went to my primary physician and he really helped me.  he used talwin to detox me off of the vicodin.  it proved to be an excellent pain medicine for me.  i don&#039;t know if it&#039;s my constitution but i am not addicted to talwin nx.  if i run out and can&#039;t get to my doctor or whatever, i do not experience any withdrawal symptoms."
