to work...that is the way of it all. Give it a month...by then you will know IF or how it is working or not. Transitioning from one med to another is an art, in my book, by docs... Some are subtle - others not? Also each of us react to each med differently... Strange things us humans?

There are times when I would almost KILL for a pain level of a 4 !!!!!! But I make do with what I have... So. keep in mind that some meds work for some folks...others for others. Keep an open mind and be alert to side effects that are good and bad in terms of the meds you are on. Do NOT be afraid to ask questions -test your docs about what all you are experiencing on any med. I've had some that have turned me into a total ZOMBIE! Granted, there are times when being 'zombie-oid' may be preferable to being a semi-functional human being, but I'm not coming up with many?

BTW? Bob? I might do damage to folks to get a 1! Wow, what a thing to aspire to!

Hugs to all - j
