Hi
I have been on tapentadol now for two years. I was swapped from tramadol to this by pain consultant. I started on 100mg per day and I now take the max dose of 500mg per day. I find it is slightly more effective for me than tramadol was.
When I first took it, for about a week, I was high as a kite and floating. This didn't last long and now I get no side effects at all.
Just waiting for rheumatologist to give me something in addition for flare Ups, but overall I find it helps.
Hope this is useful.
