one of the drugs listed for Eagle Syndrome is “gas station heroin”. I forget the name of the drug but they arent going to prescribe that either.

When you read the stories about what people go through with Eagle Syndrome I feel lucky that mine is not that bad yet.

Another drug listed is gabapentin. It doesnt work on me for whatever reason but it is just as well because that is another drug that people get hooked on for the euphoria it gives you.

None of these drugs give me euphoria. When I was taking Oxy after a surgery I couldnt figure out what the big deal was.

“Gas station heroin” is tianeptine, an antidepressant that was approved for medical use in the far east.

If you take about 20 times the dose used for depression it’s supposed to make you feel something. Obviously this is not a big drug of choice, otherwise nobody would use fentanyl.

Back in the 1980’s kids used to smoke banana peels to get high which probably did as much as tianeptine does.

I am sorry that you have to deal with pain. It's not easy. Different meds do different things to different people. I am similar to you in that I don't get any sort of euphoria from things like gabapentin or percocet. I only feel stupid from gabapentin with zero pain relief and certainly not euphoria, nor with percocet, although there is some pain relief with the later. It has gotten ridiculous how hard the DEA has made it on Doctors when it comes to dealing with patients pain. Especially when they seem to be clearing the road for cartels to bring fentanyl and cocaine across the border by the truckload. How about we see a little more concern about that and maybe Covid jabs too? Where is the concern about that?
