I was on it for 6 weeks or so...it made me so sleepy / drugged.. only 30 mg per day...I took myself off of it. Have had withdrawl for two weeks.. very sick for at least 10 days. SO... caution. It DID work really well for the foot involved..almost made it painless..night was the only time I had breakthrough, but couldn't function, being that drugged feeling. Back on oxycodone now... 15 20 mg a day.. but sure is hard to manage...and takes 30 min to kick in. I have tried at least 6 or 8 diff. drugs. All had side effects that were not acceptable. WISH I could find a SAFE.. pain killer that only worked on the foot and not the whole bod.... let me know if you have any like that ...LOL.
