Thank you for your comments I will email my doctor and let him know what I am experiencing.
i am a registered nurse and it is prescribed frequently for pain. i have from my patients, heard that it is not very effective for pain control. i use it when detoxing because it does help with w/d symptoms. it will help you sleep but does have se of the nightmares you describe. it should only be used short term as it can have more serious side effects such as cardiac complications. caution with this med.
my step dad was on that stuff before he killed himself....it was partly his high med combo that I blame for his death and also his depression and mental issues.
I took it for the RLS and had no problems, but i hear there is a big lawsuit against the medication..
