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.
