A friend told me about this med (Neurocet) for pain although it is not Approved by the FDA,& it is non -prescription and non -narcotic

Her Dr has taken it for His acute back pain and told her about it it seems this is the only medication that works good for him.....supposedly no side effects

You can google it, I think I might try to order me some from eBay 30 pills for 39.00 bucks & free shipping eBay

Anybody Fermilur with Neurocet?

It was prescribed for me by my VA doc. It goes by the name GABAPENTIN. I did get some pain relief from it, especially nerve pain.

It does have some side effects, tho.

According to this site, neurotin and GABAPENTIN are the same thing:

I recommend you talk to your VA doc about it, and not order it online, but get it free instead through VA.

My prescription for it says I should take it AT night, as it can cause blurry vision.

This is spelled ''Neurocet''

I take Gabapentin also but does not help much!

I don't believe these are the same thing. unless you're talking about something along the lines of a metabolife line type of product.

I did ask my VA Dr about it she said the VA recommends all physicians let the patients know they don't recommend any drug that has not been approved by the FDA...so obviously the Dr is against it.

but if it works and helps with pain and no side effects...hey why not give it a try? although it is not been Approved by the FDA, However it does have FDA Approved Ingredients

No they are not the same. there different!

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”
