I took it several years ago and I was on the same dose as you, only I couldn't do anything but sleep. I slept at least 16-18 hours a day. WHen I was awake I couldn't put sentences together, couldn't talk, couldn't put my thoughts in order, it was horrible, I came off it and haven't been back on, It did nothing for the pain and I decided I would rather be able to think and put sentences toegther and be awake then to sleep my life away in a drug induced trance.Part of my decision was the doctor's office reaction when I called them about the side effects and the the doctor actually said someting about being on a baby dose and I needed to grow up. Needless to say I didn't go back to see him either. I wish you much luck in trying to decide what to do.
