| Benefits: | | Was effective in treating pain. That is all it was used for. |
| Side effects: | | Severe Itching, Insomnia, Nausea, Vomiting. The Nausea and Vomiting would often last through the next day. |
| Comments: | | All in all, it was effective, but not worth taking for the side effects.
Also, it is severly habit forming. If it is pain that can be managed with an over the counter product, I highly reccommend going that route. |
