Need Help Finding Doctor To Prescribe Either Oxycodone Vicodin Or Methadone 10mg For My Chronic Pain (Page 7)
UpdatedI have been suffering from chronic pain for 7 years and have always been on and off pain meds from tylenol 3 to 90mg methadone at the worst of any ever taken. I decided to dose down & get off of methadone as I did not care for the "clinic" enviroment per say as I was using more for pain then for addicition. I found a dr that prescribed me the pain meds for breakthrough pain and the pill form of methadone 10mg was what I chose but now he is gone as he lost his license which sucks for me because NO ONE will give me anything, not even the methadone unless I go back to the stupid clinc and I so don't want that... DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A DR. that would prescribe anything or just something to get me through life with less pain? I am in the twin cities of Minnesota and I will drive if need be.
Are u willing to drive to Muncie indiana
On be quiet. Stay out of everyone's business. If we want help finding doctors to prescribe us narcotics, that's none of your goddamn business. We have EVERY right to ask where we can find doctors to prescribe us narcotics because it is very hard. And u know what else? If my oxycontin pill helps make me feel good and helps my SEVERE depression than that's my own problem and I am not ashamed of it. I'm not saying that anyone here is doing that, but I narcotics do make me feel good and when my pain is gone it helps my depression tremendously. If u wanna pay for my massage, inj, chiropractor, etc than I'm all for it, but if not than go away because NONE of us here care what you have to say. It's irritating and I've only read one out of your thousand comments and it just gets in the way of the info I'm trying to read. Go for a walk or do something productive with your life instead of writing millions of comments that no one reads. Bye! Have fun on your walk.
I move from Ohio to Tennessee in need of a pain dr. That will help me,I take morphine 30mg 2x a day and Percocet 7.5-325 tb 3xa day for a lot of reasons,back knees legs neck all over.Please if anyone out there can lead me to a good Dr. I thank you so much.
Oh yeah Kevin, I'm sure someone out there is reading this thread and thinking, " This guy just saved my life by judging everyone else on here." What's your point here? Also "right" is spelled "write" when you are talking about how docs"right a prescription"!
I am looking for a doctor to b able to help me with my chronic DDD back and leg pain for four months now in St. Louis, MO. Anyone any ideas. In pain management and it's seemingly a joke after a few months wait percocet is only helping need a good caring doctor.
I am so sick of the methadone clinic experience I could gag. I've even switched to a clinic where I must pay cash (doesn't accept Medicaid) hoping for an improvement in treatment. I figured they'd think: "Someone paying is more worthy of respect than someone in need of Medicaid." WRONG ! Although I'm in the process of titrating off of it, it'll take time and I'd just like to have "normal" doctor to patient interactions from here forward. I've moved from Philly recently to Charlotte NC. Please, does anyone know of a private doctor who'll prescribe methadone in my area ? Thanks.
I need a pain management doctor in mobile alabama who prescribes lortabs, zanax, my addoral, and vailum, as well as my premthazine does anyone know a good doctor here
I seriously doubt you will find a pain Dr to rx Adderral or xanex. Pain drs only treat your pain. You will need to one or more drs to get all of the prescriptions you mentioned. You also may find it difficult to find a Dr to rx you xanex if you're taking pain meds. Most drs have stopped prescribing xanex and pain meds. And since Adderral can cause anxiety, getting the xanex and Adderrl together may not be something a Dr will do for you. You will need copies of your medical records from your previous drs to prove you have diagnostic tests that prove you need pain meds as well as the other meds. Although that is no guarantee that you will be able to get the same meds again.

That hasn't been my experience at all. Most clinics require 6 months clean before granting weekend take home meds. After that, you'll receive one additional take home bottle for every three months clean, until you reach the one day per week schedule. In certain states, that's the max. In others, you can work your way up to a once a month schedule (going to the clinic one day per month and receiving take homes for the rest of the month). The best advice I can give anyone engaging in this process is to KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT ! As tempting as it may be, you'll hurt yourself sharing your "status" with fellow clients. Clinics don't want the majority of their client population making once-a-month visits. Their staffs need employment and they need state funding, right ?
Your best bet is to look for an internal med Doc, or a pain clinic.Also those people at the clinic are all there because they started their addictions with pain pills, however, those folks will know who all the doctors who write are .Just so you know even if you take them as prescribed you will beCome addicted to them. I suggest that if you do get a script take them only when needed. TRUST! ME you do not want to kick methadone!! Or any opiate for that matter. Call around to different doctor's and just be honest tell them you have chronic pain and can't live anymore without help the nurse will usually tell you right away if he's a writer or not.
How would an online pill mill know what CS Schedule tramadol is listed in? Tramadol (Ultram) is now a Schedule IV Controlled Substance in most, if not all, of the United States.
...again, uh? I'm 65, disabled as of 4 yrs. ago, have 8 coronary stents, can''t take anti-inflammatories due to blood-thinning properties (I'm on Plavix75mg., Atenolol50mg. and aspirin)...don't need a stroke. Allergic to statins, muscle cramps.
Actually, you can't take NSAIDs because of the very real risk of INTERNAL BLEEDING. I'm a doctor, but I'm on Coumadin following the resectioning of my Aortic Arch, the repair of an 8.6mL Ascending Aortic Aneurysm (very, very high risk; one BP spike caused by climbing several flights of stairs can kill; this happened to the husband of one of my profs). This is something you do not screw with. I'm well-known for "eyeballing" the doses of even the strongest psych drugs and doing it well, but I wouldn't try it with Coumadin unless I had the present INR. I had my heart surgery in 1995. I've had pain (sometimes chronic) issues since. I can taken Vicodin (but don't because enough to get rid of the pain usually makes my GI tract declare war on the rest of my body); Tylenol #4, Percocet (5/325, 5/325 and 10/325), Dialudid and Oxycontin.

We have a real shortage of therapeutically equivalent AMPHETAMINES in the North East (e.g., = to Dexedrine, Dextrostat, etc.), I have prescribed the generic ADDERALL 30MG IR (manufactured by Sandoz by way of EON Pharma) along with Xanax Sandor Klonopin for tx-resistant Depressive Disorders. Sill, it would be unusual to see these two scripts from the same doc, unless he's a shrink OR the pt. was on opiates of sufficient strength to require an amphetamine to keep your patient awake and functional.
Nickknac I disagree with you. I am on Norco 10 mg and I have never felt like taking a pill unless I am in pain. I have a script that says I can take three a day. I usually realize it is seven hours since the last pill because of pain. I never take more and I always have some left when I see my physician. My mri's and my x rays show that I do indeed need these pills. I tried all alternatives such as epidurals and therapy and water therapy. I do not like it when chronic pain patients are all lumped into one category as druggies.
I was a migraine patients for 20 years and I was given percodan and Demerol inj's. I did not get addicted. When my migraines ceased I was not on any opiates. It is not correct to say everyone will get addicted. Most of us know we must be cautious and we use our medication wisely.
You expect a licensed physician to write for XANAX and VALIUM, both benzodiazepines? Not going to happen. As a shrink and Exec. Director of Psychiatry for two very large hospitals that are now under "one umbrella," I know I get a greater leeway in prescribing Controlled Substances than even most of my fellow shrinks. There's no reason to prescribe Valium and Xanax. NONE. Therapeutically equivalent DIAZEPAM (Valium) is just about impossible to find, so we decided just not to have it in our pharmacy in the ORAL dosage form. Injectable generic Valium is somewhat different. Why are you taking PHENERGAN (Promethazine, which can enhance analgesics, but with TWO benzodiazepines, could also cause dizziness, lack of coordination, etc)? ONE doc is/was writing for ALL this stuff? How much alprazolam (generic for Xanax) to do take? How much diazepam (Valium)? How much of what strength of Lortab (another HYDRO-APAP mixture)? Specialist in Pain Control rarely prescribe amphetamines, btw? I FREEY ADMIT THAT YOU MAY HAVE VALID AND NECESSARY REASONS FOR NEEDING ALL THESE MEDS — dosage may be a factor — but you're going to have to bring something other than your sweet self to the doctor's office or clinic. Over the years, I've developed letters of referral for patients who are moving to an area where I don't know the local docs. It includes MY vitae and a letter stating that "This will introduce MRS. LUCILLE BATES, who has been my patient for that last five years. " Always good to get an Internist, Family Practitioner, etc., first. My letter invite the readers to call or fax anytime and (I guess as a parting gift), I make sure MY departing patient's records oare on their way within 2-3 weeks. I've seen some pretty strange "cocktails" turn the trick on both pain and psych disorders, so I don't dismiss out of hand as "addictive or drug-seeking behavior" a pt's telling me he takes several drugs of diverse natures. I heard a Master Social Worker under my supervision describe one of my patients as engaging in "typical dope-fiending behavior." I had an addiction problem, too, while in undergraduate. I got help from some friends I developed by covering health and medicine for our huge college newspaper 50K circulation in 1975). Not once did I hear anything derogatory spoken about me and I even read my chart. I fired that social worker because she violated one of our primary rules — "to treat patients always with the dignity and respect they warrant as fellow humans".
Hi Joey, I don't even care if the DEA reads this, but is there any way I could get a script (purchase) for Xanax 2mg here in Chicago without paying thru the nose? Please let me know 'cause the fact is this is the ONLY med that allows me to sleep 2-4 hours due to the horrendous back pain (I have TONS of documentation concerning my back dating back years and years, I'm 65 and can't get relief 'cause pain drs. only want to prescribe crap like tramadol & such!); I wish I could get real pain relief but with the X I can at least get some sleep sometimes.
It is good we have a physician here .
The key is to have a relationship with your PCP. 2 mg of Xanax would knock me out. That is very strong. The dosage starts with 1/4 mg I believe, so I doubt any physician would write a prescription for something that strong. Have you talked to your doctor about your insomnia? It sounds like you are getting pain medication if he or she gives you Tramadol. Doctors do not want to prescribe pain medication and benzos too. It can be dangerous.
I was prescribed 5 mg of Valium for sleep but I only took it when I had lost more than one night's sleep. The script lasted many months for 60 pills. The generic is reasonable. My physician knows me well and I have complete blood panels done yearly. My doctor does not like Ambien. I know he does a good job with all of his patients. I agree that there is not a reputable physician that will prescribe two benzos. Also elderly people are more at risk for over dosing. mostly by accident.
