re pain med head
ans
was going to edit the above to add that I'm not sure it's the Methadone as it's low dose (12.5mg/day) and on one website I read there is no mental fogginess and people work while on this medication (doing what?).
Most people that take Neurontin report this mental cloudiness but I've not really read about persons only taking Methadone (probably ex heroin users vs. pain patients) though my guess is those particular drugs act together to create a bit more mental fog. Perhaps.
From what I'm reading about Suboxone because it's not a full agonist it doesn't have the same effects as Methadone and I'd be interested to know if anyone is taking it and how they feel mentally. Or if anyone is taking that and Neurontin and feel more cognitively alert...
One thing I have read is that if Methadone is working well for one in terms of pain there's no real reason to switch to Suboxone. My PM and I discussed the use of Suboxone to get off Methadone if I have surgery and do well (at some point).
