Are there any risks or side effects to this new drug? I might want to try it. Do you need a prescription or just go to a compound pharmacy?

@kathysears As I already noted, you need a doctor’s prescription and it’s only available with a prescription at compound pharmacies. This is not a new drug. It’s been used at much higher doses to ease symptoms of opioid withdrawal. There are rare and very mild side effects. Here are some links that will give you some more information:
The links below are from Cleveland Clinic, for an overview, and from the NIH, for a nerd’s-eye view. Basically, this works by reducing inflammation and, thus, pain. It’s being used for fibromyalgia, Crohn’s, MS, cancer pain, neuropathic pain and several immune conditions. Non-addictive and minimal side effects. I haven’t had any side effects at all.
