"It worked great on my Hyper-Mobility Syndrome! (All of my joints are 'double-jointed') which causes chronic pain for years and gets worse with age. The only side effect I've had is constipation. With Avinza, I actually have a better quality of life!"

"Took for chronic pain of knee, back had half of 2 vertebrae removed, and fibromyalgia. This medicine did not work at all for me. I have taken oxycodone and methadone for pain, and they made things bearable. This medicine did no good at all. I was only given 20 mg a day after 80 mg a day methadone and 80 mg oxycodone. This is all the pain clinic would prescribe, so I had to go back to methadone that makes me gain weight and my teeth are rotting out, but I can function and have relief of pain. Still have pain, but I can bear it."

"BRING BACK AVINZA! I've had C1-C2 chronic pain for 36 years now. The closest I have come to how things were before some illegal drunk in an 18-wheeler truck was allowed to kill two friends, change another friend's life, and ruin my life has been AVINZA. It's been a year, and my life again turned upside down, as I have yet to find another morphine that compares to AVINZA. Of course, I am refused to try MS Contin or OxyContin, even though I've taken narcotics responsibly now for almost 25 years. Just bring back AVINZA, as I know there has to be other people like me, though I fear from experience that we who suffer from chronic pain are looked at as irrelevant, and why AVINZA was taken away from us!"

"The only true single daily dose morphine I've tried. More even dosage release than other morphine brands meant less tolerance, allowing me to stay on the same dose for years. For similar, but less even, relief, Kadian and Embeda required 2 doses per day, or MSContin 2-3 doses per day. Generic for Avinza is morphine sulfate ER beads."

"I have cervical stenosis, multiple disc herniations, fibromyalgia, and myofascial pain syndrome, etc., since my teen years. I'm 38 now. I've been to several pain clinics and doctors on meds, narcotics, but none helped me like Avinza. I take 90 mg plus 10/325 Percocet as needed for breakthrough, and it helps so much. I have only constipation, and I take Amitiza for that. I'm happy my insurance covers it."
