I have been on this medication for almost a year. I have had 7 major abdominal surgeries in the last 2 yrs and I have three different sources of pain---this drug works great. The only drawback is that it is an opiate derivetive and is addictive. This makes me anxious, but I keep regular checkups and take it as directed. I worry however, about "when to stop" my illnesses aren't going away and I can't live a funtionable life without the pain relief. It was comforting to know that others are on the medication and seem to be doing well with it. Untill now, I had never heard of anyone else on the drug. good luck to all and thanks-----your fellow pain endurer, Kim
