Is There Morphine In Gabapentin

Updated

Someone has just told me that Gabapentin is the next step up to Morphine. Is this right?

Simple answer - no. Morphine is an opioid. Gabapentin is generic Neurontin, an anticonvulsant used for pain. Neither Neurontin or gabapentin is an opioid.

Hey Carol, I used to be on opiods for documented pain (as opposed to junkies looking for a high, you know the story) but after the crackdown - even though my GP would still write me scripts for Norco I couldn't get them filled anywhere. I was told that only pain specialists scripts would be filled though others have said that is not necessarily the case. Having a lack of insurance and pain docs not accepting patients without I asked my GP (whom I pay out-of-pocket) to write a script for Tylenol 4 generic. He did so as well as one for Gabapentin (for pain related to diabetic neuropathy) which is supposed to be a pain reliever as well. It seems to help me but I don't know if it's because it's better than nothing or if it really does work. In any event I take it every day with my Tyl. 4 so to make it through the day. If and when I do get insurance I will most certainly go to a pain doc and see what I can get. But I'd advise staying away from Norco or hydrocodone unless you know a pharmacy that has a steady supply and will dispense. The DEA has all but closed the faucet on that supply.
