My doc prescribed it for my fatigue and brain fog. I did not do well but I only tried it for 3 days. May give it a shot again. He started me very low. 0.5mg. Made me very tired. Plan was/is gradual increase to 4.5mg.

Yes, it is used to stop pain due to it binding to the opioid receptors in the brain. Those receptors, then will (theoretically) produce more. I find it helps.
