Best place to: Recommend this, if you are looking for support, is any of the major pain support groups. Many of the patients are open about the medication they are taking and will be happy to speak with you about their personal stories. Check out http://www.Uspainfoundation.Org/ for listing of support groups. Hope that helps!
