Cramping or pain in a leg caused by poor blood circulation. This condition is frequently caused by hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis). Intermittent claudication occurs only at certain times, usually after exercise, and is relieved by rest.
RESULTS: 22% (29/129) of respondents admitted to abusing gabapentinoids, and of these, 38% (11/29) abused gabapentinoids in order to potentiate the 'high' they obtained from methadone. CONCLUSIONS: Gabapentinoid abuse along with methadone has not previously been described.
1 Neurontin (Gabapentin) and behavior: While Gabapentin may not have a noticeable effect on behavior, many individuals report that the drug lowers inhibitions, making them more social. 2  This may result in riskier behavior when taken at high, supratherapeutic doses. Gabapentin is not even a controlled-substance and therefore should not be regarded as a narcotic. 2  Overdose unlikely: It is possible to overdose on Gabapentin, but the potential is unlikely. 3  The drug doesnât produce as intoxicating of a âhighâ as traditional narcotic substances.
