June, I believe my doctor at the time was comparing the drug to the heavy
pain killers..... like morphine; etc. It works very well for me, not
strong, no side effects, no slurring of speech, dizziness; etc. To date I
have no indication that I have liver damage; however when one takes all the
other drugs that I have to take then it could be any number of them that
would have caused the liver damage. Thanks, your friend, lillian
