"this medication was prescribed to me by my psychiatrist for thr chronic pain i suffer from in my legs and lower back. he doesn&#039;t prescribe opiates in his scope of practice but still wanted to help me out. this drug takes awhile to kick in. it&#039;s very unfortunate especially when you have pain that needs to be relieved asap. everytime i take this pill it makes me feel emotional and physically impaired as if i had a drink. it helps a bit for my restless legs but for pain it really doesn&#039;t do anything. it definitsly does not relieve anxiety or panic disorder. keep in mind i am

still on a low dose of 200 mg per day but my pcp wanted to increase it to 300 mg three times a day, which i disagreed with. it&#039;s not effective for pain and anxiety for me."
