"It makes the pain go away, and I can finally sleep at night. I'm so glad they have this medicine. The only side effect that I have had is the weight gain, which is 25 pounds so far, and I have only been on it a month. At first, I had some dizziness and minor hand and face swelling, but that has gone away. If they could only improve so it wouldn't make you gain weight, it would be a perfect medicine."
