I was recently put on it as well it worked for the sleep and the pain but the weight gain and the side effect was more than I could handle.
But truth think I would have stayed on it for a little longer if it was not for the side effect. When I woke up after taking it felt like the worst hangover ever. With school age kids that was not gonna work.
Wish my kids were older the sleep was great first time in so long with no real sleep and the pain was gone.
I was hoping for someone to say that the side effects would go away after a few days. So badly want to try it again.

I also had that "drunk" feeling, like my eyeballs were swimming around in there. Thought I might see a fish go swimming by like in the cartoons! My doc started me at 75 mg before bed, working me up to 75 mg 6x a day. After only 3 weeks, its definitely not for me. Didnt even get the pain relief I was told would come. Disappointed, to say the least.
