Anyone have ANY experience with this new drug ?(March 2002) My Rheumy gave me a coupon for 10 pills to see if this will help with the arthritis in the neck and spine and RSD in my left hand, neuropathy and osteoarthritis. He says the side effects are mild and of course it can be addictive. Everything else has been tried in the last 2 yrs and some drugs I can't take. I would appreciate anyones experience with it, Doc says it will take the edge off, I have had a headache from my neck for over 6 mos, am afraid of ms contin and the like but he assured me the effects are milder with this times release than the ms contin. I know I feel silly but with so many things causing me pain (getting less tolerable as time goes on)I'm willing to try something good but can't handle severe side effects. Thanks for any input.
