I had it for approx 12 years it was good at first it helped with my migrating pain and kept me in work. Then the side effects began with my eyes the pressure went to the limits and I was getting blurred vision. I had to stop it the side effects were horrendous for 3 months and more. After being off it for 12 months I realised that a lot of illness I had and used to think was Fibro. Vanished.
