I had severe pain. Initial dose of 20 did nothing. After 4 days, doc increased dose to 30. Pain gone in 24 hours. Started taper of 5 mg every 2 weeks. Now down to 20. Still no pain ever.

How long were you on 30 before you began to taper?

Well done! I would love to try that, but I think my doctors would like me to disappear. The last time I saw my doctor, he told me I wasn't normal, and it would take a smarter man than him to figure out my problems.
