A funny thing happens when you are getting drugs for pain management - it manages the pain and not much else. Some people talk about getting "loopy" but that's typically when the pain meds are started before the brain chemistry readjusts.
I too was a 60's -70's "better living through chemisrty" person and I was a hippy and lived in Haight Ashbury during the Summer of Love. My world views changed dramatically after my military service in the early 70's.
Charm - they also have a 15 mcg Fentanyl patch to aid with weaning off.
