I've done the percocets myself folks. There's NO way I would be able to work while on them.

Clonazepam (Klonopin) on the other hand, I can break in half, or into quarters, and take a smaller amount for relief. It's a different type of medication, and I have found it's been a tremendous help for the burning type pain that I experience.

As for the stab stab, I haven't had that in a while now, so I can't speak for this medication and what effect it has on that type of pain, however it has anti convulsant properties, so I'd imagine it may help some.

It was actually on the burning mouth syndrome forums I learned that Clonazepam may help burning searing pain where other drugs failed... and wouldn't you know it? It does for me!
