"Although I rarely suffer back pain, I lifted something incorrectly. The pain in the lower back was instant, and all the muscles in that area became inflamed. Any movement was unbearable. The doctor examined me and determined the problem and prescribed this medication and told me to rest. I took a dose of two Norgesic straight away and went to bed, sleeping for most of the day (they have a sedative effect on me). The next day, I was able to get out of bed by myself. I continued taking as prescribed the following day, and by day 3, the pain was completely gone, muscles relaxed, no longer inflamed, so I ceased medication. For me, these meds performed a miracle."

"For many years, wake up 2-3 hours after going to bed with really bad back pain. Had tried chiropractors, massage, yoga and stretches, inversion table, Mersyndol Forte, and NSAIDs. Not sure what is causing the pain, I suspect ankylosing spondylitis. Since taking Norgesic, I can sleep 6-8 hours continuously. Very little side effects. Not sure yet if this is going to be an ongoing thing, but at least I am getting sleep like I haven't experienced in some 20 years or more."

"I started taking this medicine when I was 36 years of age for about 3 years but really did not notice any side effects. Then I stopped for 28 years and now starting to get back this problem, so I am back to try it again. I read most of the comments about the side effects, but after all, there is no medicine without side effects at some level. Also, I think this goes with age and lifestyle. I don't take any medicine at all, I always go for herbs over tablets normally. I am starting now with only 2 tablets a day and going to see the results, and if it needs, I am going to increase the dosage."

"86. I just started experiencing osteoarthritis pain (moderate but worsening). My doctor put me on Norgesic one in the morning and 2 in the evening daily, but I found it affected me a bit by being a bit dopey (normal) and getting out of bed same. I cut it down to one evening and half in the morning daily and found that this worked a treat. Pain reduced, slept like a log and less dopiness during the day. I also have a feeling of well-being."

"Others said this again, but I am going to repeat: lifted some weights the wrong way (squats), got lower back pain. A bit of Norgesic later, and now I am good as new! Just be careful, guys, if pain persists beyond lower back and is also on your legs, be sure to visit a physician."

"GP prescribed this to reduce muscle pain/spasms in the back. While it did aid sleep and reduced spasms, the raging headache, hot/cold sweats, vomiting, and unable to focus my eyes will ensure I take no more. The negatives outweigh the benefits."

"Absolutely useless to relieve this acute middle back pain that's been crippling me for 4 days. Codeine or Oxycodone is 100% better. Not only that, but I had to pay full price as opposed to PBS. Useless, will never again."

"Used Norgesic as needed for 40 years for muscle spasms and muscle aches. Worked wonderfully! Have found nothing as effective since they stopped making Norgesic!"

"I found this in Amman, Jordan, while traveling. The first thing I found that helps migraine symptoms. Can't find it in the USA."

"I was eating these like candy, and they did nothing whatsoever. Got some diazepam & instant relief. I know that all drugs affect all people in different ways."
