For Pain "I absolutely wish there was a formulation I could take for more than 5 days. If I could take this every day, I could probably go off of my narcotic pain meds. I will agree with many, the taste and burning can be hard, but it’s definitely worth it. At least for me."

For Pain "I've had kidney stones for 25 years. I'm now 42. Having a stone 2-5 times a year really sucks. Only a couple of years ago, my doctor RX'd me Sprix. Yes, it kind of burns the nose a little and drips down your throat and tastes horrible. Chase it with some water. It absolutely takes the pain away in a matter of 5-15 minutes tops. So much better than Dilaudid 4 mg. Wish I had this years ago. So much easier than having narcotics."

For Pain "The inhaler process is very rough on the nose; burning sensation, bad taste, sore throat. But eventually, that goes away, and you are left with an analgesic good for very mild pain. My doctor prescribed it for occasional severe back pain, and it is not working for that."

For Pain "I like this stuff. Tastes terrible (I have a post-nasal drip, so a bit goes down that way). This works for me, though. Pain just goes away."
