Leritine is the only drug that relieves my pain. My doctor prescribed this drug for me approximately 15 years ago. I used the drug for approximately 3 weeks, until I no longer needed it. Years later, I requested this drug from my doctor, to relieve severe pain. I was informed that the drug was no longer available. I live with severe, chronic pain (the result of being hit by a car when I was 15 years of age) and have exhausted all methods to relieve the pain. I will never forget those 3 weeks using leritine; pain free, able to conduct my daily activities, and with no obvious side effects that I am aware of. Leritine is simply the best drug I've ever had to treat my condition. If I could have access to this drug for only a short period of time, I would at least experience a time in life without pain before I die. There are no words to describe how important this drug is to me. I wish it were manufactured again, and made available to treat conditions like mine.

In 1984 I was given a single dose (as in One Time Only) of leritine IV push for severe pain and was knocked out for about 4 hours. When I awoke I was legally blind as in almost total darkness; I was later diagnosed with bilateral wet macular degeneration and bilateral neovascularization, the latter of which required laser surgery to arrest its progression. Although my eyesight has improved significantly since the initial injury, I am still legally blind, and the condition is considered to be permanent. I have since been told that there is a medication that should have been administered within 3 months that would have reversed the damage to my eyes before it bacame permanent, but it was never administered.
