all Narcs take time to adjust to. start tiny small and move up if you are still in pain. Ask for a lower dose if one is available to start with.

If you feel that your pain isnt above a 5 on the 1-10 scale then I would try other interventions. Massage, aleeve, a warm bath...if you feel none of those are helping and want to rely on the new pills then its going to take some getting used to.

narcartics saved my life. So many folks are afraid of dependance or addiction that they dont see the person who is in pain is no longer living their life. I wouldnt turn in my bottle for anything unless it was a pain free life.

Please be careful when driving, or doing things like cooking or stuff that you need to pay attention to until you are used to its effects.

Im glad someone finally took your pain seriously. I know you have been searching and struggling for a while.
