Uhhh, no. This drug does NOT give you a "high". If anything, the side effects are painful or at least uncomfortable. Sore jaws, neck, shoulders. Sometimes nausea. Maybe a little lightheadedness. Not desirable. If he is taking this drug without a RX or without a migraine, he is taking a serious risk with his health.
