This is for short term pain, like post operative pain. This is NOT for chronic pain. This leads me to believe that there are serious long term side effects. So this shouldn’t be posted on a “Chronic Pain” site. We have so many things to read up on that sometimes it’s overwhelming.

You're clearly upset..If you read my posts I am well aware of the phase 2 results for chronic pain. In my very humble opinion it was clearly a poorly designed phase 2 trial and I have some hope that the better designed phase 3 trial will have better results...but we will see. I did not see an indication of serious side effects in the clinical research but as with any new drug we just don't know. I am a chronic pain person and I am totally supportive of all of us getting whatever medication helps...I have absolutely NO judgement about people who use opioids to manage their pain. I have spent a lot of time reviewing the research and understand the mechanism for this drug and this is something I will try knowing it may not work or have unexpected side effects. I hope you are able to access whatever gives you relief! here is a link to the research I referred to. Again this is a novel pain medicine and no one knows for sure...https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40122-024-00697-0
