Combining gabapentin and oxycodone: abuse effects in recreational users
Treatments studied
This study looks at how the combination of gabapentin and oxycodone affects feelings of reward or abuse (like euphoria) in healthy people who have used opioids recreationally. It helps understand if this combination might be more or less abusable.
