Hi Steve, maybe you could make a deal with your dr. Alot of time with any meds sometimes when your in a slump where you think you need more or stronger when you really need less. I have been on heavy pain meds for years and at first I was taking what the bottle said to do and at first they worked fine then they started not working. A friend told me to bring down the dose so instead of 3 a day I weened to just 1 in the am then used my Motrin and my break thru pain meds. It works! When your body adjusts the less works better. I know your in pain and think im nuts but I have gone thru so much I hate for the meds to rule my day. Try less and talk to your dr. Tell him that your trying using less to see if you really do need a stronger script. Make sure your dr is involved with what you should try and if he is a good guy like you say then im sure he will work with you! Its your pain you want to control not a habit! Good luck I hope you understand this. Nanimal

Perhaps try a different medication. I found Nuvigil to help quite a bit. There is also Provigil if your insurance doesn't want to pay for Nuvigil. Before Nuvigil I used Vyvanse, and when it wasn't enough we added Intuniv. You may have tried all of these, I don't know - so I thought it wouldn't hurt to mention them to you. I especially recommend the Nuvigil. Regards - ElizaJane

Its going to be pretty difficult since the literature says there is seldom a benefit to doses over 40mg.
