This is likely something only someone who is experiencing or has experienced chronic pain can relate to. But most medications powerful enough to suppress the pain, will also suppress your higher brain function.
The feeling for me is as if you're thinking in slow motion. Not a very comfortable experience I assure you. One reason why I refer to them as my ******** pills. My doctor was not amused.
Well, I've used Ginkgo Biloba (although not much in recent months because it has a negative interaction with another medication I take), and it
may have given me
slightly more energy,
possibly. But did nothing at all for pain.
So you can probably scratch that one off your list.
And do be careful with interactions.
