idcc, I began Anatabloc when it came out and took it until it was withdrawn from the market.
Before Anatabloc, I was taking naprosyn for an arthritic foot and Ultram for back disc problems (20+ years for both). Whenever I went 4-5 days w/o either one, the pain would return. Whenever I took a step, I thought my foot was going to break or wasn't able to move much with the back pain.
Once on Anatabloc, I did not take those drugs again and, now, three years after I stopped taking Anatabloc, I am still pain-free.
It is no wonder that BP wanted it off the market!
