For Pain "I have had pain issues for many years, and after many failed surgeries, I still have severe pain. I have been on Percocet, but a new doctor wanted me to try Exalgo, so I did. After fighting with my insurance company to help me cover some of the cost, I tried it and got no relief at all! Then I had a hard time getting the doctor to switch me back to Percocet."

For Chronic Pain "I was on Exalgo for several years. It gave better pain relief than morphine but still constipating. During that time, I kept having episodes of waking in the middle of the night with a fast heart rate and cold sweats, which no one could explain. Then I developed severe abdominal pain and stopped eating, with a thirty-pound weight loss. While doing a bowel prep for a colonoscopy, I passed five Exalgo 'ghost' tablets in my BMs. (Ghost tablets are the leftover shell of controlled-release pills.) I realized that they were accumulating in my bowels because of my severe constipation. When I changed pain meds, the night sweats and tachycardia stopped."

For Chronic Pain "I started taking Exalgo about 3 weeks ago after 20+ years of trying every other opiate and non-opiate pain med with little to no relief, especially once I became immune to them. I've been on disability since 2010 and been seeing a PM doc since about 2009, and in March he talked to me about trying an IR. I researched my insurance, and when I saw him in April, we decided on Exalgo 24 mg per day with 15 mg roxi backer. They seem to be working okay, but the doc told me to take both 12 mg caps in the am together, which I did for about a week until I read here that others were taking them at 12 HR intervals, so I tried that, and it seems as though they are causing me to not sleep. I have been waking up about 4/4:30 am every day since. Anyone else having issues?"

For Chronic Pain "I was on 30 mg Opana ER daily, and it was discontinued. My doc moved me to 8 mg Exalgo/day. It's not working well, doesn't last 24 hours, and every 2-4 hours I start getting chills and a runny nose. I think I just might be on too low of a dose. Too bad I can't get in to my doc sooner."

For Chronic Pain "Was on Exalgo for chronic pain. Got zero pain relief from 32 mg daily dose. After taking it for a year, I went off it cold turkey with ZERO withdrawal symptoms and ZERO change in severe chronic pain."
