You need to find a pain specialist who prescribes it. Look for Pain Medicine treatment and/or a rehab physician who prescribes it. A special license or certificate is necessary to prescribe it for pain. Look for an MD or DO I feel might be best bet unless you find an NP who practices with a group. It is possible and has gotten easier to find but worth it.

That is exactly where I am going next if I can get a referral there. I have some neck issues and have been taking Gabapentin at night for it. It doesn't do anything for my neck but it does help me sleep better I think. I found a pain clinic that prescribes Buprenorphine. Maybe I will be able to keep some meds on hand for a really bad time. I don't expect to take them on a daily basis. Even though my neck problems are annoying and getting worse I can live with them without meds so far.
