Hi, I've been taking 50mg for some months now for chronic back pain and leg numbness, I have gained weight. I'm hoping to drop some of the weight, but I need the medication. I'm 36 years old, 6 foot six, 260 Lbs. I have been experiencing some of the shooting pains in my buttocks and legs, but I don't know if I can handle a larger dosage. I take it at about 7:00 PM, Iwake up at 4:30AM for work. I also take Vicodin during the day. Anyone else?
