I take this med for pain in my feet and have been taking it for a little over a year. Yes, it does taste HORRIBLE,however I take a big sip of water first, then the pill and it seems to do better that way. It takes a little while before it starts working, but it does relieve my pain. I haven't had any side effects from this pill,but I do have to take a Benadryl about 20 or 30 min. beforehand, so it...

I had a tooth pulled that cracked. I have had other meds that helped on pain but this pentazocine/naloxone does not seem to work. It makes me sleepy is all it does. It was not worth $1.80 a pill. I feel ripped off.

I was prescibed this drug in 2011 and for some reason did not use it. I have been having severe pain in feet, legs and lower back and have been told theres nothing the Dr. can give me except Tramadol which does nothing at all but constipate me. IO decided to give this 3 year old Rx a try and it works pretty good with the pain and I have had no feelings of nausea or bad taste at all. I used to take Talicin but was told it was discontinued. I never had to even take the recommended dosage for relief. Maybe the pills get better as they age. Mine were from 4/18/11 and I was retrying then in August 2014.Read More Read Less

Takes a long time to take effect. The effect does not last long. Was suppose to take it evey 12 hours but the effects of it wore off in less than 4 hours. Very upset about this drug. Left me in pain for 2 weeks.

Very expensive drug if not on insurance. Effective for fibromyalgia pain, however, after many months of use, you need more to achieve the same result of lessening pain. Can cause withdrawal symptoms if discontinue abruptly. Everyone is right - terrible taste!
