Is nucynta actually effective? I mean I know everyone is different but I'm wondering what to expect from this medication. I'm still waiting for a PA on it and it'll take about a week (during which I have nothing but otc meds for my pain, which is at a 9 right now) for the pharmacy to order it.

He's got me on 50 mg twice a day. I was on 10 mg oxycodone twice a day and it wasn't even touching my pain. I think I read that equivalent dose is 10 mg nucynta to 1mg oxy. Seems like a step down.

I have an ablasion scheduled the week after next so hopefully that will help but I'm not getting my hopes up.
