hey robbo! from what i know, some narcotic pain meds, for example Norco(hydrocodone/APAP) and MSContin, while in many people cause a feeling of tiredness/sleepiness, in others cause a feeling of speediness and difficulty sleeping. also, many non-narcotic meds commonly prescribed to help neuropathic pain such as gabapentin/neurontin and elavil/amitriptyline cause drowsiness and difficulty getting up in the morning/morning fog. if this is the case, you can try taking these meds earlier in the eve and see if this helps the morning groggy feel and difficulty sleeping. if it doesn’t help there are other meds in the same class(es) you could try. i would suggest changing one at a time to help clear up what’s doing what. this, of course, is not medical advice…..just “if i were in your shoes, this is what i’d want to consider trying, with the approval of my personal dr” :)

also, have you ever done or considered SCS?
