Sorry about your experience, Mike. For about the first week I took the med remember that I was very spacey. My dose is 5 mg 3x a day and I weigh between 130-135 lbs . But after that I settled down and could think better. I doubt I'm as sharp as I was before I started taking so many meds (I take a total of 3 or 4 Percs a day also), but I'm willing to swap some mental accuity for the improvement in pain relief I get from the Methadone.
I sincerely hope you find an answer soon.
BTW - what is Provigal? I've seen it mentioned a few times on this board. Do you use it as a sort of caffeine substitute?
