I've been up and down with chronic nerve pain from my cervical area. I tried so many different meds and on some pretty powerful morphine products. They darn near killed me but finaly dr prescribed exalgo and things have been looking up. None of the side effects that I had gotten with so many other pain meds.

After being on Duragesic patches (2, 75mcg e 2 d)& using 30mg oxycodone prn breakthrough pain, for the last 5 years...I feel odd. Im very anxious. Last pm it was after 6am before I could even relax enough to sleep. This is with my regular ativan. My heart seems to be beating strangely. I hope this is just my body trying to adapt. I want this to be better as my insurance isnt wanting to pay for the patches anymore. You hope. I want to just have a few days a year where I can feel like playing with my kid. Chronic pain makes it so hard to get through, I really loved the Duragesic(fentanyl)why does all these meds have to cost so much? Im lucky my dr.s never question the need for these Rxs, but Id tried to take a break from my reg med so when I went back to it it would work better, Huge mistake. Insurance wouldn't let me go back even though they changed the opana which did work then they screwed it up because of stupid druggies. Why do we let one idiot ruin things for the rest of us? We are not taking pills to get high we are taking them to get by. Noone in their right mind would chose to be on any of these meds. Im angry because I wanted for these to make things bearable and now I feel So strange.

I have been takeing exalgo er for about 1 year and have taken just about every other long lasting pain meds they make. I also take roxycodone 30 mg 4 times day. I have had a ruptured disk at L3 l4 that compressed my spinal cord by 75%. Have had a diskectomy, decompresive lamonectomy, and finally a fusion. This medication is the best ive ever taken. No high just pain relief.

After taking time to adjust the dose after the initial changeover from 50 mg. Methadone, I have found this medicine to work very well. I had to give it about a week at the correct dose to see it become effective. I also needed to have the doctor titrate it over 2 mos. to get it right. I take 32 mg. twice a day and it seems to keep my pain under control. If you're looking for a feeling, rather than ... Show Full Comment

If you want pain control, take the time to find your right dosage and be patient. You have to ask yourself, what am I looking for? Hope you find relief.
