Yes, but I'm an alcoholic, 2.5 years sober and neither my doc or I wanted to pursue it any further. The best reactions I've had to meds have all been dopamine related which I just discovered recently. I never made a connection to it until I wrote a rather long list and my GP said you seem to respond well to dopamine related drugs.
I forgot to mention that the urinary hesitancy and constipation from opiates is really bad for me, it is worse than Edronax.
