Whatever you do DON'T just stop it as you will have withdrawal symptons as I can attest to. I didn't take enough of them when I was on holiday and boy was I bad. As soon as I got a replacement for the lost drugs within a hour I felt back to my normal self whatever is normal.xxxx

This is the chemist bible entry, read under side effects, there is an issue with peripheral coldness (fingers and toes) or as they describe in the hard copy BNF, cold extremities. This was the nearest I could find for you but I found a lot for me, it mean't I have had a pacemaker and take high blood pressure tablets, normally I avidly read side effects I haven't with this oops. :( Pity all the other medical staff didn't connect this with my blood pressure issues, they all knew I was taking this.

Like you I have found this to be perfect in pain control and don't want to go back to the way it was, this has stopped any futher deterioration in my condition but connot reverse it.
