[QUOTE="wiflib, post: 315202, member: 8588"] A lot depends on the dose taken. I have (twice) suffered a disc prolapse in my neck which has caused nerve damage/pain and prescribed it both times. The first time I managed to get down to 10mg at night and then weaned myself off them. After a week, I noticed the pain associated with the disc problem returned but very mildly. No other analgesia has worked AT ALL for the pain. In the early days I was risking my liver and kidneys by the amount I was taking but it was in vain. This time, I've had to up it to 75mg a night. I've no idea if it helps but I'm not going to wean myself off it until I've seen a spine surgeon in November. A common side effect is a dry mouth and I seem to get this. No other problems. wiflib [/QUOTE]
