As an alcoholic I am aware of my addictive nature. I had shingles in my eye 2+ years ago and they gave me Gabapentin and Percoset. I took the Gab twice and never opened the opioids. A friend gave me a couple THC pills and they helped a lot. The Gab just knocked me out but the THC allowed me to function without concentrating on the pain.
Gapapentin is the only thing that would let me sleep when I had shingles on my side a few years ago. I took ibuprophen during the day and that seemed to help get me through work
