Hello, Michael! How are you?
It depends on the neurologist, though in most cases, you'll be sent to a pain management specialist to prescribe and monitor your medications.
The FDA classifies these as narcotic analgesics, so they have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
Are there any other questions or concerns?
