Yes, it can also be prescribed for pain. However, doctors have to be certified to prescribe it and can only have a certain number of patients taking it. A regular family doctor or general practitioner is like,ly not going to be able to prescribe it. The docs who are certified are mostly addictionologists and pain management doctors (who generally have another specialty as well, usually anethesiology, neurology, etc.).
