So… the story is that I’ve been on Tramadol and Tylenol 3’s for a bit of time for chronic lower back pain and depression. Since they have pooped out over the course of years, my Dr. prescribed me Nucynta/Tapentadol to use now instead. I read up on it a bit, and it’s a fairly new medication, and the reviews were not all that convincing. To be frank, I’m very nervous about taking it.
Has anyone here taken this before? If so, what are your thoughts about it?
As a quick overview, it is a medicine that is similar to a “ramped up” version of Tramadol (with SNRI properties as well).
Just wondering if anyone else found it effective. Thanks!
