I take a tremendous amount of pain medication and it does not effect my mental state at all because I have been taking it for so long. I feel safe driving from that standpoint, however, the pain and cramps I get in my legs from the rsd/crps are another story. A half hour trip is my limit because of what it does to my legs & back.
That being said, Everyone is Different and you should not drive if you feel impaired. That is the important point. No one can say how you react to your meds but you and if you feel impaired, you should speak to your dr and ask him/her to write a note saying you should not be driving. I also agree that you need a different attorney. This one will screw you and cut a deal with the defense. I have been through a wc lawsuit and know.
Good luck.
