I found some of these in a baggie, are they used for recreation or do they have any kind of effect that would make someone take them that do not have the prescription
Neurontin gives no effects of getting high. It is also prescribed for chronic pain. I don't know all the details but if it is a teen and they thought the pills were for pain they might be thinking that the pills are in the opiate category to get high which is a total misconception. This drug can be dangerous if not used correctly. I personally took it for pain and found no relief so my Dr. kept increasing the dosage until I was on the maximum dose. I went into kidney failure and was quite ill for some time. If a medication is not prescribed----get rid of it!
Thank you, I wish I could get rid of them. They were in an apartment during inspection and I could not touch them.

Neurontin, which contains the active ingredient Gabapentin is used to treat seizures and some types of nerve pain.
It HAS, however, been abused, mainly because it can cause some feelings of dizziness, so people think they are getting a high, plus since they think it treats pain, they think narcotic and keep taking more and more to try to find that opiate high, which of course, doesn't happen.
