Apparently you must have been on other opiates that were no longer working. Please be careful with this medication. It should help control your pain if you are on the right dosage. Good luck to you and hope you start feeling better soon. I copied this info for you. You can click on the link for additional information.
" You may not be able to take this medicine unless you are already being treated with a similar opioid pain medicine and your body is tolerant to it. Talk with your doctor if you are not sure you are opioid-tolerant".
