@painsurvivor i started it a month ago for my lumbar spinal stenosis at starting dose for three weeks to see if I experienced any side effects. I did not. Then I went on to the maintenance dose and have been for almost two weeks now at this dose .
Occasional “eyebrow headache” as I call it. Which is a normal side effect when first starting this dose and should go away once your system has adjusted to it according to the pharmacy literature I was given with my script . Already I notice a marked improvement with my back discomfort . I do try to watch my body mechanics and not bend down to tie shoes or pick up things from the floor. Avoid twisting at the waist too, helps me. I bought grabbers to pick up things from the floor.
Hope you feel better and have less pain too.
