pain
"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't know if it's my constitution but I am not addicted to Talwin NX.  If I run out and can't get to my Doctor or whatever, I do not experience any withdrawal symptoms."
