Yes you should take it. It is a long acting pain med that will help you feel better. It should not make you feel loopy just ease the pain so you can function better.

Nothing to worry about. Just follow the directions!

Your doc wants for you to TRY it. I would have faith in your doc and not be terrified. EVERYTHING can be controversial. It works on true pain. It is controversial because some people abuse it, and some take it for kicks.

It works very well for pain, but it is addictive. I don't know how long the doctor wants you to take it, but if you are on it for a while and you stop, you will suffer withdrawal symptoms that aren't very nice. You may want to ask your doctor about that. If you are only on it for a short time, you may be ok. But, do ask you doctor about developing dependency and withdrawals.
