I have sciatic nerve damage and Talwin NX goes straight to the area that hurts and does not make me dizzy or leave me with any side effects.

They gave this medication for me to take for my shingles. it kept me up all night, itching, and sick to my stomach. I took the first time and it worked great, the second time and after it had a bad effect on me.

Did nothing for pain at all. I woke up in the middle of the night and ended up "having a discussion" with the grim reaper. I've never had a bad reaction to a drug before (or hallucinated)- Pretty freaky stuff.

received injection for migraine, had life-threatening reaction within 30 minutes. O2 levels under 70%, cyanosis, clonic seizures. If you're receiving an injection for the first time, stay in your doctor's waiting room for at least 30 min or have someone at home with you who can call a squad.

I received this prescription following knee surgery. All I felt after taking it was mass confusion in my brain, itching, and inability to sleep. This was taking half a pill a day.

I have chronic neck and back pain, have been on many differant meds over the last seven years. This one I have been on for six weeks, and I feel like I have my life back... it's easier to function. I don't feel over or under medicated. It's a God send!

For cronic pain management; I have been taking Talwin NX for 10++ yrs for Lupus(SLE), fibromyalgia, RA & other cronic autoimmune disorders. In the beginning all I could think about was finding a way to lessen the pain. It was controlling my life. My Dr. tried many different meds before discovering Talwin to be the best to help manage my pain. The 1st week I felt a bit nervous and a little shakey but soon the side effects subsided. I'm glad I stayed with Talwin because I believe I found the best relief for myself under some of the most horrible conditions possible and wouldn't change it for anything. God Bless you all and thank you for reading my post.Read More Read Less

This medication has worked wonders for my pain and I would recomend it insead of pain medication like Loratabs or other harsher medications. It controls pain with out the jitters like other medications.

Caused me to sleep all day, quite ineffective with my pain (dental bone graft), made me feel nauseous and caused me to vomit. Cannot recommend. Was only given to me in the first place because other pain meds proved not very effective...
