For Pain "I have been on this drug Talwin for 6 years for Peripheral Neuropathy. If I didn’t have this medication to control the flare ups I might not be here today. I was so extremely miserable and this medication helps so much."

For Pain "As with any narcotic use with extreme caution and check before mixing with other prescriptions. Highly addictive for some people. Mother lost her job and ultimately life as a result of quack doctors and ultimate addiction to this controlled substance. Wrecked my life."

For Pain "A torn kidney caused me to be in extreme pain, and I was hospitalized. After two days, I got tired of being injected with Demerol every four hours, so I asked a nurse if I could have pills instead. Out came the Talwin. It gave me relief from the pain, and I laughed a lot. After a day or two of laughing, things got scary. Not health-wise, but instead of laughing, I began to have such horrible nightmares that I was afraid to close my eyes. But either way, I was pain-free. I would recommend that people take Talwin if prescribed, but I would not recommend a torn kidney, prescribed or not. Get well soon."

For Pain "No side effects. Takes a little to ease the pain in right leg and back. Do not eat at the same time you take pill, it has a bitter taste."
