Had to reduce the intake of Tapentadol today as I needed to be alert for a fair whack of suburban driving. The 8am tablet's effect wore off around 1pm and I wasn't enjoying the increased pain level. The latest tablet has made its presence felt and I'm far more comfortable.
Most people would have coedine prescribed for such conditions but it's no use to me as I can't metabolize the stuff into an opioid, hence the use of a synthetic opioid in my case.
