> Hi FB. Sorry I didn't answer sooner. Yes, it certainly does have analgesic effect. I have fibromyalgia and coccyxdenia. The pain from the cocyxdenia was really awful. I started at 50 mg. and after the first dose I woke up without the tailbone pain. I was really shocked.

> I'm now taking 100 mg. and the tailbone pain has not returned, although I feel at times I'm having some breakthrough pain. My pdoc said it would be interesting to see if the pain returned at higher doses. I sure hope it doesn't.

> I'm still not anywhere near remission. I have to have my blood levels tested after I've been at 100 mg. for two weeks, so probably no increase until those results are back.

> The dry mouth side effect is very unpleasant. My mouth feels like the bottom of a birdcage..even my teeth feel furry. My appetite has increased unfortunately soon after I started at 100 mg. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a grip on that. The thought of gaining more weight is very depressing in itself, however, I'll take the weight gain vs. the pain.

Hi

Look into low dose metformin for the appetite increase. Soom use it for antidepressant weight issues. People seem to lose weight on this med.
