pain
"I have a couple damaged discs in my back and the pain became severe after 3-4 years of suffering.  I was instructed to take 300mg per day to start.  I don't like medicines and I decided to take the minimum I possibly could.  I have been on it for 6 months now and my pain is all but gone.  However, I never went beyond 200mg.  I think I am extremely fortunate.  I have my life back.  I had chronic headaches, previous to the medication.  Migraines came on about 2-4 times per month......that's all gone now.  I might take ibuprofen or aspirin once a month....and it used to be every day.  A couple of negatives for me would be:  Sleep pattern is still off and even though I am only taking 200mg per day, I really feel it."
