A few years ago I lost a full week of my life to the oral version of this drug. Not only was it too strong, releasing into my system too quickly, but I found it to be utterly dangerous. I was only pain-free when I passed out, in a coma-like state of sleep. The rest of the time, the side effects were among the most brutal I have ever experienced in my life, and that’s truly saying something. However, I am a firm believer that if something might work for you, you should still give it a shot. One dose was my effort. I’ll never do it again, but I would never tell anyone else not to seek relief where they may find it.
