pain
"It DOES curb pain when all others may fail. I was on it for 1 1/2 yrs. Make no mistake it IS a powerful narcotic and it IS addictive..caused major constipation,loss of appetite, intermittant nausea..in my case made me hyper active, anxious and contributed to long term insomnia. Took more than a year for my body functions and physiology to return to normal AFTER I stopped taking it. It did however allow me to function through intense pain when nothing else worked."
