They were suggesting that as as some other optionas to try to wean him self off the harder stuff, he is self employed and trying to work through his pain. He is not someone who can sit still, has to be doing something and has to be able to drive and have a clear head. Thanks for that info, i will have to find out what dosage he is on, he is a small guy and very thin, so probably started him out on low dose. thanks
