pain
"I have suffered from back problems for almost 20 years and more recently, neck problems, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia.  In that time, I have taken about every pain medication known to man, just to have them either work slightly or not work at all.  Nucynta is my God send. I am on 50 mg three times per day, although I try to keep it to one per day when my pain is at its worst so as not to form an addiction.  The side effects aren't bad to me, comparatively speaking.  I do get tired shortly after taking it, but then my pain disappears and I have energy to do things that need to be done.  I have some itching as well, but I can handle some itching and drowsiness if it means I have some pain-free time every day!  SO grateful."
