Helped alot, but is very addictive. I went through rehab from Oxycontin use 7 years ago and found myself getting a similar (not as much) high from this drug. Although, it did help my headaches completely. I was able to quit using them fine.

Side Effects
I have experienced nausea but I asked the doctor for something for the nausea and now I am fine.

Additional Thoughts
I am in drug addiction recovery from lortab and can not take any naroctics so my doctor gave me this after nothing over the counter worked. With God's help and my mom's help I have been able to take these with no problem. Best thing is they kill the pain but don't produce a high.
