I was prescribed this drug last year after being diagnosed with Calciphylaxis. I very painful rare disease resulting from abnormally high Parathyriod levels along with several other out of whack levels such as calcium. The drug worked great for pain but what my doctors didn't realize is that this drug is processed out thru the kidneys. My kidneys do not work and I am on peritoneal dialysis. So after about 2-3 months after starting this drug I began to have severe hallucinations, then started sleeping about 20 hours out of the day. Ended up in the ER and was considered as Overdosed due to so much of the drug building up in my system. So if your on Peritoneal Dialysis be careful if you take this drug. I am lucky to be alive.

I have been taking this drug since 99. I have had carpel tunnel surgery 2x left and 1 time right, both knees, and neck 3 fushions and 1 disectomy. I fell a few months ago and ruptered 5 disc in neck and Dr. did install 18 screws and 2 rods . He went from c-2 to t-3. I feel better but I would like to know how many of you are on disability or do you work full time? I take 40 mg 4 times a day.jessech ... Show Full Comment
