I got sicker than a dog on it over a period of 6 months, and was one of those rare people who quit in a day.....(Don't try that...I am an anomoly-something about me has never been normal) People who take it usually have a hell of a time getting off....

I ground to a total halt on the drug and still had pain.

I have sensory and autonomic neuropathy and can't take ANY long acting med, because my body never acts the same very long....it has taken a while for them to figure that out, but after a few scares, the docs are figuring out to trust me with my own body....long acting is not always the answer. It depends.
