Hey Lady!

From what I understand I can take this indefinitely. They worked me up gradually to my current dose (which I'm finding a bit tougher to adjust to).

My #1 complaint about the drug is it makes me so drowsy. Other than that, I don't experience side effects that I can really notice. So if you have problems with fatigue, I'd imagine the adjustment period would be tougher.

In my case, I take it daily. I'm not sure if he uses different doses for other people.

It's still taking care of the pain, so that's what matters most right now! I hope it keeps working too!
