@patdeptuch. i'm sorry about your husbands pain. medicine affects everyone differently. no 2 people are going to be the same. i have no idea what's out there for what you're looking for. ME, i'd rather be loopy and mellow. than going through his type of pain. but like i said, that's just me. but like a lot of comments here. try a pain management doctor. but remember. if you don't like how they treat both of you. walk out and find someone who'll help you. good luck. danny5
