Nucynta ER (tapentadol) for Pain: I am currently on Opana ER, and tried the Nucynta ER to see if it would have any less side effects than those I had on the Opana (sweating was the absolute worst, and severe exhaustion, among others). I tried Nucynta ER for 4 days, and felt the best I have felt in years. While my dose needs to be increased a little, it made me feel so much better. I didn't have any of the negative side effects that I have on the Opana. On the Opana, I needed to nap throughout most of the afternoon because I was just that tired. On the Nucynta, I had energy throughout the entire day and just felt wonderful. I am excited to get on it permanently, and think it may be an awesome medication for me.

Nucynta ER (tapentadol) for Pain: I just started 150mg Nucynta ER. I have been on almost every pain medicine in existence. Aside from the cost of $375 for 60 pills, I believe it is working quite well. I have been on long term pain management for 12 years. Since this medicine is new, there is not much information about it online. I am hoping to hear more success stories and other people's opinions soon.

Nucynta ER (tapentadol) for Pain: Great Pain Reliever. This gets rid of my pain and makes me feel optimistic. I feel like I can finally live my life. Everyone should switch to this and enjoy pain relief with very few side effects.

Nucynta ER (tapentadol) for Pain: I have been living in pain for 7 years. Four back surgeries and still very little relieve. I am new to this medication, but so far it has worked great. It is really wonderful to have hope again!

Nucynta ER (tapentadol) for Pain: I have Fibromyalgia and severe neuropathy in both feet with burning pain all the way up to my knees. My local pain clinic prescribed Nucynta (for short term pain) and it completely took my pain away. I did get EXTREMELY light headed and a feeling like I was high. Since it isn't safe for your liver for long term use, they switched me to Nucynta ER 100 mg to start. It took 2 weeks to fully kick in and after a month, I formed a tolerance to it. I've been on 200 mg's for about 5 weeks now and I've already built a tolerance to it as well. This prescription has been a God send, but, I can only go up to 250mg twice per day. What will happen to me if I build a tolerance to that? I'm very concerned.

Nucynta ER (tapentadol) for Pain: This is great base/stable medication. I take it twice a day and have other medication for break through pain. I had 2 back surgeries and 20-30 epidurals. I'm young (less than 40). It is not cheap, but I find it worth the price. I am a lawyer and need to be quick on my feet. This medication does not weigh me down mentally.
