I was prescribed it after I got surgery on my hand. For pain relief it was great for me personally when taken as prescribed. As for a high swallowing a few pills I didnt really get much, but when I crushed a few and snorted them they worked great. Nice stone, good itch and got a good nod. One thing I have yo say is the buzz doesn't last to long in comparison to other opioids. Would prefer Tramadol myself but that's just me. Hope this helps. Stay Safe, Peace, Mr.Heffo94.
