Yes, I am taking that medication. I have spinal issues. What I do is take that first and see if it works. Depends on the severity of the pain. If it doesn't kick in and help, I wait a few hours(4-6) and take something stronger. It does work for the most part. I do not get any side effects. I think it is better than taking a opiate as a first try. So far so good, Hope it works for you. ginnie
