Actually it is not but i am curious as to the effects of this medicine as it resembles a medication i took for pain that was non narcotic but was wonderfull called nurontin (Gabapentin) many people do not realise that you can actually feel euphoric similiar to narcotics from these medications. Are you on this medicine? is it expensive? and does it feel like a narcotic? just curious. my gabapentin is very expensive even for generic
I was paying $240 for 90 800mg genarics at cvs and the problem was i didnt shop around. there is a community pharmacy here in mesa that specializes in pain management i get my MS Contin and Norco here so i checked for the gabapentin yesterday and i got my 90 800's for $51!! Rediculous. so my advice would be to try and find a community pharmacy that helps ppl without insurance. i think most places have these.
oh i see i missunderstood your post. ya i guess they can be found for way less than i was paying. wish i would have checked sooner i went over a month without them and was a wreck. they are a miracle for me. I've found articles that say it's being used for social phobia-which i have, chronic pain-again i have, and addiction treatment-yes i've had pst problems with that too. but i've been on this med for over 3 years and it's totally changed my life. i still need narcotics for pain as my spine is really screwed up. but all the social issues and addiction, low self esteem, depression. all gone when i take this medication. so for anyone reading this considering it. i say throw out everything in your cabinet for whatever your problems are and take gabapentin lol.
Where do you buy gabapentin? Must be a private pharmacy. Many of the large pharmacy has it for rather a great price. I am on it and I have checked Costco, Target, Walmart etc. This is what I pay: I found these prices on the internet, as most companies are posting them on the net so we can price compare.
