Doctor Who Will Prescribe Methadone (Page 2)

I live in Myrtle Beach, SC. I have been on methadone for 9 years. I have had a lot of pain issues since having cancer 10 years ago. I went to a pain management clinic in Philadelphia. No problems. TRhen I moved to MB and the only resouce I've been given is a methadone clinic.. I need to find a doctor to write my methadone for me. My insurance pays for that. but a clinic which is not helping my issue and want 300.00 dollars a month and I have to go everyday. I am not the healthiest person I can't do it. Is there anyone who can help me PLEASE.. I am willing to go to North carolina if I have to.. is anyone knows of a pain management doc or other???? Thank You God bless

Please help me. I need a dr that will prescribe methadone. It's the only thing that controls my pain for any length of time. I've had two knee surgeries. Two hernias removed from my groin. My appendix removed. I have two herniated disc and arthritis in my spine. As well as degenerative disc disease. All the drs I've seen seem to want to prescribe is norco. Boat loads of norco. I DON'T WANT THEM. THEY DO NOT HELP ME. Please share your Dr info. My email is {edited for privacy}.

Has anyone gotten a response? I've asked numerous times for the dr info. Haven't gotten a response. My email is {edited for privacy}. If anyone gets it please share. I'm currently at the methadone clinic and it's breaking me. My back is pretty much destroyed. It's the only thing that helps. And the Dr's I've tried are so scared to give anything stronger than norco and they just don't do it.

I am not sure I posted a reply but when my mother was on pain management the Pain management clinic in Wilmington NC which is about an hour and twenty minutes drive did give my mother methadone pills and when she didn't want them anymore they just gave her morphine sulfate and oxycontin. Try calling around Wilmington NC pain managment clinics. I believe they randomly call you in for pill counts and all. If I am not mistaken my mothers Dr was Dr Points in Wilmington. I am not sure he still in practice he was pretty old at the time. But it could help

Hello. I am wondering who your pain management Doctor is in Charlotte. I have weaned myself off of Percocet because it seems to cause depression for me. I am now, once again, in chronic pain due to surgery on my neck for herniated disks apx. 8 years ago along with slipped disks in my lower back. I don't think my current doc here in Blowing Rock, NC will prescribe. methadone, but. I am going to ask him.

As you have seen trying to help a specific person in need whom experienced tragic circumstances brings all the methadone seekers who are APPROPRIATELY BEING TREATED AT A METHADONE CLINIC.If you are CURRENTLY being dosed AT A METHADONE CLINIC FOR WHATEVER REASON YOU CLAIM NO pain doc will prescribe methadone as a pain protocol because federal law PROHIBITS the PRESCRIBING of METHADONE for that purpose. DESPITE YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES OR MITIGATION !!!!!SECONDLY if you comply with clinic standards the federal Phase schedule allows up to a 27 day TAKEHOME privledge with as little as 24 months of COMPLETE compliance. So all that bull crap is people looking to use methadone for purposes other then what it's designed for. FACT!!!!!!!

No doctor will write a rx for methadone once a patient is treated at a methadone clinic.ITS PROHIBITED BY FEDERAL LAW. The clinic rules aren't weird at all, actually quite concise and easy to understand. COMPLY WITH THE STANDARDS AND BECOME ELIGABLE FOR THE FEDERAL PHASE SCHEDULE THAT ALLOWS UP TO 27 DAY TAKEHOME PRIVLEDGES IN LESS THEN 24 MONTHS.
Those are the facts when clients are prepared to be drug free clinics grant latitude in treatment protocol. Denial is the hurdle abusers have to overcome before life can return to some assemblence of normalcy. God bless you....

No the reality is people who actually need it for pain are damned by the drug seekers and end up at a clinic because pain management has been f****ed up by people wanting to feel high! My back is destroyed and i can't get anything but norco from any pain center because of the dea tightening up on them because of the seekers. its bulls***! Everyone else has to pay the price for it.

Hi Melody,

This sounds like the perfect match with patient centered care we all deserve. I have full body crps and just moved here from Maine. How can I get this information if I can't see your emai? There is no luck in SC oat likely due to being insensitive from all the addicts encountered which makes everyone pay. Thanks in advance
