It gets me going, I clean, I get on and have a good day with more energy. Its a very effective pain reliever I feel. If the pain is there still, it's pushed right into the background so you can get on a bit more positively alongside it rather than feeling soul destroyed.
There have been times where I've had such a great day that I didn't want to come back to normal 24 hours later. That's about how long I feel the effect but I'm a lightweight. When it's out your system you just adjust again. It's a little euphoric high you get with it rather than anything scary at all and that's the addictive draw. I find it very pleasurable considering most days are immersed in pain discomfort and consequential misery. It is nothing overwhelming like you get with recreational drugs, it's very subtle.
Why don't you just try one one day and see how it goes. I doubt it will make you sick like some of the other drugs. But if you have a problem you can get it out your system quickly enough.
It will not make you out of it to the extent that you are giving the game away. Unless you have a bad reaction like some people out there possibly will then no one will be any the wiser you have taken it.
We are all different but my experience has been good. I struggle tolerating all sorts of drugs but this I can pretty well.
I take the minimum, one 50mg capsule a day as and when.
