I cannot say it enough that the taste is nauseating enough to feel the pain than throw up. maybe a little dramatic but common they must of figured that out in prelim testing. coat it in cherry or grape they do it all the time, but other than little pain relief and the inconveniences it offers I would of liked to stayed with my previous pain reliever, TramadolXR, it worked it was once a day and ya didn't taste it, I have Arthritis in my lower back and 2 herniated discs in my neck which from day to day causes servere to light pain, weather sleep habit, activity habits ect. also effect pain. but besides going on heavier pain meds Tramadol has done a lot of great things in the almost 9 months using it, only reason I stopped was a developed resistance which is normal so when my resistance subsides I'll gladly resume. Hope it was helpful but stay away you can read in the drug description it try's to stop dependency so it obviosly isn't a great drug.

I was perscribed this medication for low back pain from arthritis. At the time I was also having pain from a broken wrist which developed into carpal tunnel syndrome. I was given it because I am alergic to most perscribed pain killers. Pills taste TERRIBLE and dissolve in my mouth quicker than I can swallow.

I was perscribed this medication for low back pain from arthritis. At the time I was also having pain from a broken wrist which developed into carpal tunnel syndrome. I was given it because I am alergic to most perscribed pain killers. Pills taste TERRIBLE and dissolve in my mouth quicker than I can swallow. I ended up taking one every 4 hours (Rx was 1 evert=y 4-6 hrs) and used up the Rx before time for a refill. When I saw my doc the next time he lowered my dose to 1 every 6 hrs. They were effective for the low back pain but did nothing for the wrist pain. Since I was awakend during the night with the severe wrist pain I would take another (or two) but they still didn't seem to work. Before I noticed it, I had used what was to have been a 3 month supply in 6 weeks. I intend to stop taking them except for the low back pain and use EXACTLY as perscribed. My Medicare Part D plan did not cover them and I really can't afford to pay for them.

I have severe back and leg pain. This medication has worked for years for me, with no ill effects. I had been taking it 3 times per day.

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.
