Difference between Pregabalin and Gabapentin

Gabapenton is considered a Narcotic, and usually only a one month prescription can be ordered at a time. I have been on it for some time. We have had to reduce the dosage, because I was sleeping round the clock. I did not have any brain fog, or dizziness, but it is the only thing that has helped my Trigeminal Neuralgia. The medicaton can be habit forming I am told, but so far I have not noticed this problem. I take a very low dose 25 mg twice a day.

I don’t believe Gabapentin is called a Narcotic, but I think there are 6 US states that have recently started labeling it as a controlled substance. For the life of me, I have no idea why on earth anyone would want to take more than needed of this drug; but just because my body feels no euphoria from it doesn’t mean some people react differently, especially when mixed with something if they’re goal is to achieve euphoria. I’m lucky that the states I’ve lived in still see this as a seizure & nerve related treatment and don’t control it. My prescriptions are written out in 90 or 120 day supplies to last 1 year before refill approval needed. I think everyone needs to ask their doctor or prescription plan to see if their state has controls (yet)
