I find it very effective for back pain relief, and have been prescribed the med for about 1.5 years. I take 1 5mg pill every 4 hours or so (4 total a day) - works great. The negative is - I often (about 50%) have nights whereby I wake up with leg or arm pain/twitching. If over a period of a few days I reduce my daily intake, the night symptoms are certain. The discomfort is really difficult to describe. Pain is not really accurate. It's more like a shooting painlike itch that lasts for a few seconds and reoccurs every 10 seconds or so. It has a consistency you can't ignore, I will use the word "tortorous". I have tried holding an arm or leg in the air, or even vigorous excerise, or just walking or running - nothing works. Well except ... take another pill. The shooting will begin to subside within 20-30 min and be completely gone within 45 min (approx). Ultimately, I highly recommend taking the drug; it's effective - God help me when it's time to stop.
