"I have tried several medications and was either allergic to them, they didn't work, or I did not like the way I felt. Nucynta has worked wonderfully with the severe neuropathy pain that I have on a daily basis. Prior to Nucynta, I had a difficult time just walking to another room, much less a grocery store. I have found that Nucynta has cut my downtime due to pain at least 50%! I do not feel dopey or high, it does not inhibit or interfere with my speech, thought, or action. In fact, I told my husband I am ready to start going bike riding again because I feel safe enough to do so and the pain is not stopping me anymore. This is my experience with Nucynta: works wonders!"

"Been on Nucynta for a while (3-4 years) for very bad neuropathy pain. Have taken it with Norco every 4 to 5 hours - has little to no side effects, within an hour after taking I can feel the pain go almost all away, can function great at work - no side effects to speak of, no problems falling asleep, use 'Kerasal NeuroCream' on hands and feet at night dulls pain enough for me to fall asleep."

"My stepdad was using this medication for less than two weeks before the pill itself killed him, proof is in the death certificate. He was not abusing either. He complained from day one of taking it of many side effects. Sleeplessness, dizziness, trouble urinating, hallucinations, still felt pain, couldn't stand without falling, etc. He asked his doctor to be off the pill, and they told him to wait until they see him the following month. Also, fault in their practice too."

"Unexpectedly found this page, and read other responses to see others' experience with Nucynta. I have been on various doses ranging from 600 mg per day (all 100's) to currently taking two 100 extended-release tablets per day. My experience has lasted six years now. From the very start, I loved it because it was effective for my neuropathy. The big bonus was that after a while, say a month or two, I was completely confident in my ability to concentrate and do my very detailed work. Now that said, while on the max dose of 600 mg, I would definitely feel the effects every time I dropped a 100 mg. This was the beginning. As the dose went down, the ability to concentrate got better and better. My biggest problem was finding a drug store that kept it in stock."

"Nucynta is specifically targeted at chronic nerve pain, especially diabetic neuropathic pain. Nucynta ER provides me with all-day and night relief better than the hydrocodone taken previously. After 4 months on this drug, I have not experienced any significant side effects."

"I was diagnosed with advanced fibromyalgia about 3 years ago. My doctor has been monitoring my condition, and it has worsened over the years. I am now considered advanced to severe, and my doctor decided to try this and see if it would help my symptoms. Nucynta ER 200 mg has done wonders and given me new life. The downside is that local pharmacies don't stock it or want to carry it on their shelves regularly because of cost, and with my insurance not allowing me to order refills until I am only days away from running out. Also, their suppliers only deliver once a week, and the pharmacy needs to know 2 days in advance to get it that week or you end up having to wait until next week, and you start going through withdrawals and depending on meds....."

"Nucynta ER has worked wonderfully for pain relief for me. It does keep me up if taken at bedtime, though. You can find a coupon online to keep your monthly costs down."

"Does not last a full 12 hours. Pain comes back about 7 to 8 hours after taking Nucynta ER."
