I have a neighbor who may have been stealing some of my gabapentin, ( neurontin,) my fear is he is snorting the crystals, is this dangerous?

Put some ground white pepper in it... I guarantee he will stop.

How is he accessing your medication?

He used to live here, and once, made the mistake of saying he could get into this place, no matter if everything is locked tight!

If he is doing it, I'm pretty sure it would look different!!

What steps have you taken to deter him from entering your home? Have you contacted the police about this? Do you have proof that he's entered your home and stolen your medication?

The contents of the capsule, I don't know, I've never pulled one apart

If nothing seems to be disturbed, how is it you suspect that your neighbor is breaking into your home and stealing your medication?

There has to be a reason you suspect this. So far you haven't posted anything to verify your suspicions.

I don't have any definitely proof, just familiar with his addiction problems, and have had some of a problem in the past with him stealing my pain meds. I didn't think I needed to keep these under lock and key also!

The side effects are so nasty that I can't believe anyone who doesn't need this med would want to ingest/inhale it. It's not a narcotic or opiate. His snorting it would only make him feel awful.

You stated that your neighbor is stealing your meds. You stated this definitively in your first post. Now you're stating that you don't have proof that he's doing this.

If you have no proof, there's nothing you can do. If you suspect, then it stands to reason that you should keep these meds in a secure location, that's a logical thing to do, and should have been done long before now if this is something that's happened in the past.

You didn't think it needed to be done. Well, I have to ask, when will you start to think?

Thank you, I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't do serious harm. I don't trust, or like him, but I don't wish him unnessary harm for being stupid

Snorting it could kill him, or at least mess him up physically..

Because I really didn't think an addict would be interested in anti-depressants. He's very sneaky, and as I said previously, he slipped up by saying that he could always find a way into my place.
I've been noticing that my pills are coming up short, and I take my meds as prescribed!

Then doesn't that tell you to hide them carefully? (I cannot believe he would take them more than once. He must be a walking zombie.)

Well, he's not the sharpest tool in the box, perhaps, ( hopefully,) I'm wrong.
Thank you for your help!
