If you take 5 - 10 mg pills a day (50mg) for two months straight I'm sure you'll feel some discomfort, Just take some Loperamide (just kidding !, inside joke) If you were prescibed them from your doctor because of a car accident than he will taper you down. Just talk to your doctor about your concerns. He might want to increase the dosage if your still in pain and still healing.
