I think it is an opiate iwas prescribed it when I had shingles it did nothing for the pain and gave me the headache from hell I prefer co.codamol but it can cause constipation if you're not careful.

Yes I was given this also by my family doctor. I also was up all night. I had called my neurologist to see him and he saw me and told me that for me to stop this med. He prescribe for Ibprofrin to take. I would check with your doctor.
