Need Help Finding Doctor To Prescribe Either Oxycodone Vicodin Or Methadone 10mg For My Chronic Pain (Page 5)

I 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.

Levi-try gabapentin (neurontin). It's non narcotic and tells your brain you're in less pain. Helps with taking less or no pain pills.

Julie-are Canadian sources for gabapentin.

It's a capsule with light beige powder in it. Comes in 400 and 800mg.

In the states it's about 1.20 US each.

You generally don't go to a new doctor and immediately go to the head of the class because... doctors are losing their licenses. The Feds monitor their prescribing habits regularly. I had to go through a ton of stuff before they started prescribing. Referrals to chiropractors and physical therapists who eventually refused to touch it as newer MRIs revealed more and more damage. Then there was a pain management place which only wanted to irradiate me while doing spinal injections which didn't work. Then there was a neurologist. He did nothing. Then there was a neurosurgeon who actually scheduled a second appointment to SCHEDULE surgery. By the time they got around to that, the pain shooting down the legs had dissipated. It comes and goes but there's always a baseline of back pain. Without the leg pain, they felt the surgery wouldn't do much good. Then there was Social Security Disability which took a year and a half to get approved on appeal. Then, my doctor finally felt he had done his due diligence and started prescribing something a little heavier for the last few years.

Hello,

I was referred to a pain management clinic in Edina Minnesota as that is the clinic my internist~went to so I thought if it is good enough for him, it should be good enough for ME. The name of it is Twin Cities Pain Clinic (Dr. Will), & it is VERY good. They really helped me with my chronic pain & at times I rcvd. trigger point injections which didn't hurt. Give them a try. You will probably have to go there once every month to rcv. your meds., & or injections IF you need them Dr. Will is also VERY good at epidurals~didn't feel only a little poke. I miss him as I now live in another state!

Amy/Trixie -

Please be careful with that. It could lead to trouble. I'm a methadone patient from a clinic with take homes and that's the kind of crap that WILL get you in DEEP s***, both in and out of the clinic. I know there are plenty of people who do it, but why risk your freedom, being back in pain, being blacklisted, or worse?

As of October 6th 2014, tramadol was added to the schedule III, controlled substance list of drugs by the FDA. So it is not easy to obtain. It came out in 1977 and the FDA has been trying to get it on the list of controlled substances ever since. They finally succeeded. It can give you opiate effects if you abuse this drug ( take more than the highest recommended
Dose. This is why it got changed; due to the abuse and deaths due to over using this drug. It sucks for all of us that really need it for chronic pain!! Just don't over use any of the opiates. Only use the amount being prescribed to you!!!

Kev, I know you wrote this about 10 months ago but I had to comment on your, " if the doc retired or closed their office you would have been referred somewhere." That is SO not true. I live in Minnesota, am a nurse in same state and I can tell you that if your MD leaves for ANY reason you don't usually get a referral to another doctor/clinic....especially when chronic pain is involved. It happened to my 70 year old, 100% disabled mother with chronic illness.....chronic pain being one of them.....and she never got a referral to anyone! They do not treat CP patients with the same respect or dignity as they do other patients. It makes me sick! I am a nurse, working in this field, and I am appalled at the way CP patients are treated! It's cruel punishment because of the others who want the meds for recreational use. I did find my mother a wonderful doctor......no thanks to any part of the healthcare system! Anyway, this was just an FYI. Some people are actually looking for docs to prescribe SPECIFIC meds because after many months or years of trying they finally have been put on something that works. I can understand that, can't you? The search for what will work for you is a long, exhausting, torturous process for many! And yes, there ARE some who are just looking for an easy score. But, I don't know these people and therefore am not going to judge addict or not.

Sorry, Faye, but TRAMADOL is a schedule VI not III. Look it up. It was also put on the controlled substance schedule list in August 2014, not October. Hydrocodone was put on schedule II October 6,2014. Did you even research this info before posting it? Just curious.

Oops....I meant to type IV not VI for the TRAMADOL schedule! Sorry for the typo!
