> I am 1 1/2 weeks into it. Started out at 300 mg 3 times a day no problem. Little dizziness, not bad. Seems to help my attitude towards pain a lot! Kind of like vicoden without the depression!

That's very encouraging! I have also taking vicodin for a short time for temporary relief. I really don't care for the vicodin...it makes me feel stupid.

> I felt pretty good 3 days in and continue to feel better. Been on vicoden awhile for a back surgery that did not help and have been downward spiraling ever since. This is best I felt in a year.

I don't know if I'm imagining this, but I think it's helping already after the first cap. I have a much better attitude tonight and am not irritable with the children. Not in so much pain.

> Seems to make the vicoden high go away so you start to stop craving it. Vicoden starts to really depress you after awhile. So far I like it, tried Cymbalta, it sucks, to much anxiety.I think it tells your brain that the pain is no big deal so you can function better. GOOD LUCK!

My friend is on Norco, a stronger form of vicodin, and I worry about her getting off it. She had her second back surgery so she's more likely to have problems because of previous scar tissue. Perhaps I can tell her about the Neurontin and she can get it to help her off the Norco.

Cymbalta did nothing for me except sedate me during the day no matter when I took it.

Thanks for sharing all your info!
