I took Avinza a while back and had a terrible reaction. Actually, it scared the sh-t out of me. I think what happened was that I had been on those patches for pain and I didn't get all of that out of my system before starting the Avinza. I can't remember if I kept taking it or whether I flushed it. I take hydrocodone up to 4x a day and muscle relaxers as most of my pain is in my back. Hildred in NC TM since '76
