| 3 | throat and ear | Sleepiness and itchy scalp | F | 17 | 6/26/2009 | 3 | Pain with Endometriosis | A bit of nausea, itching, sleepiness at first. | It worked when the dr first prescribed it to me but when I got my second refill I noticed it wasn't doing the trick for my pain and I had to take it sooner than before. It worked though at making it easier to through the day. | F | 25 | 4 weeks | 5/13/2009 | 3 | back surgery, foot pain | Blurry vision at times, sometimes itchy all over, drowsiness | This is a pain drug with fewer negative side effects than most, and it helps with moderate pain, especially initially. I feel relief within about a half hour of taking a dose. However, I am noticing that the effect, after taking for 30 days (2-4 tablets a day) is lessening, meaning that relief isn't lasting as long in between doses. It was about 8 hours of relief, then 6, now, only about 4 hours. I am supposed to be weaning off, and was just taking 2 a day. . .now I am up to the max of 4. So now what? | F | 50 | 30 days | 9/18/2008 | 5 | Shoulder tendonitus | Drowsiness. Dry mouth, although that may have been caused by the Naprosyn and Flexeril I was also taking. | It seemed to work really fast and well for my severe pain. In order to do the home exercises, along with physical therapy, I had to take these medications to get through the pain. If I didn't do the exercises, I'd have lost some range of motion in my shoulder. This seemed better than Vicodin, which gives me some queasiness and dizziness. I think I took it about 2 weeks, but I don't remember the dosage. It wasn't daily, but on a "as needed" basis. Sometimes the pain was moderate, and in that case, the Naprosyn worked. I was taking that daily. | F | 46 | 2 weeks | 5/24/2008 | 2 | taylor spatial frame on tibia | none | i felt as if i wasnt even on any pain medication. I had no benefits and no side effects. It was like it never happened. | F | 16 | 2 weeks | 5/22/2008 | 2 | Lower Back Pain | Dizzyness, nausea, Itchy Nose (doctor said not a side effect. Hah.) Dry Mouth, Sucks the moisture out of your body, Constipation. Sleeplessness | No noticeable major relief, possible that it took the edge off. You need to drink major amounts of water when taking this med and carry a water bottle with you or you could get dizzy and or have nausea. This is not for headaches or minor pain. Only for deep pain I think. I only took it when pain became unbearable. Needed to take valium to get to sleep when taken late in the day. | M | 41 | 6 years | 4/25/2007 | 1 | bruised ribs | itching,slight nausea-without curing the pain | I don't think this medication could take away a headache, let alone a serious pain!! | M | 36 | 5 days | 11/13/2006 | 3 | IT band injury from running | The medication worked excellent for my knee pain. It was a big relief from my pain. But the side effects were not worth it. It made me completely nauseous, and I felt like I had to pass out every time I took it. I also noticed runny stool and dry mouth. | I'd take it again if it didn't make me so nauseous. | F | 33 | 4 days | 10/20/2006 | 2 | Recovering Broken leg/ bad shoulder | Worked somewhat for pain. Gave me lots of energy for a few hours after thing two three time a day. When I took two a short time later my muscles would feel like I dranke 10 coffees, much tension in muscles. After a month or so I started to have problems sleeping. | I have not taken any now in four days and I am definetaly addicted to them. My stomache has bee extremly bloated every since ( a lot of trips to the bathroom ) very tired, I slept for pretty much the first two days. Every musle in my body still completly aches. ( very uncomfortable). My Advice do not play with this drug as it seem to be very attictive. I do not know how much longer I have to wait the side effects but I am really not havinga a good time of it. | M | 35 | 2 months | 9/5/2006 | 4 | post-surgery pain | It worked well, a little lightheadedness and giddiness though. | Highly addictive, the more you take it, the more you have to take it, and in higher doses and more often. | F | 21 | 1 weeks | 5/25/2006 | 1 | Pain | Nausea | Doesn't help the pain at all, even after taking 3, I just fall asleep. This sucks. | F | 25 | 1 weeks | 4/20/2006 | 3 | toothache pain | itch feet and hands were just as miserable as toothache.helped somewhat but hate the itching | F | 39 | 3 days | 9/3/2005 | 4 | sprained ankle | itching on soles of feet and between fingers, orange urine | it helped quite a bit with the pain | F | 21 | 3 days | 7/13/2005 | 2 | Pain associated with biliary colic | itchy | This drug did not help me at all, they should have given me something stronger. What a joke. Im still in pain. | F | 29 | 4 days | 1/25/2003 | 4 | Migraine | Mild dry mouth, mild constipation. | The most reliable and effective aid for migraine relief after trying all the other alternatives my doctors (Western and Eastern)could find (drug, therapy, acupuncture, etc). I have taken it responsibly for all these years, but doctors frown... | M | 45 | 22 years | 7/24/2001 |
