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

Hi wayne, I too am in the same situation and I do live in Evansville. My problem however is that I'm currently on painkillers (lots and lots of back problems) and im lookin to get off of those and get on methadone but the only place I know around here that will give it to you is the methadone clinic. Do u know of any physicians that will currently write a person a script for the methadone? It will help control my pain and help me to get OFF these painkillers I'm on...

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.

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

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.

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}.

I live in Greenville NC and need a private Dr to prescribe methadone. The clinic is running me 350 a month plus I have crohns n severe CNS issues, which in NY they gave me methadone, xanax n my meds for crohns. Since moving here to NC they cut my dose down and tapered me off the xanax. I've lost 4 jobs due to panic attack issues and lost 26 lbs due to not being able to eat. Can you email me this dr name please {edited for privacy} I'm really serious about this.

Melody I would love to know your doc. I've got two ruptured discs and one herniated disc. Had two knee surgeries. Two hernia surgeries. I am in a great deal of pain. Currently at a methadone clinic. Have three children and the clinic is $105 a week. Getting hard to pay for. If there is any way you would share the info it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. My email is {edited for privacy}

Hello Melody. Your response to Kimmy caught my attention. I'm in Charlotte, paying cash for my methadone, as the clinic that'll accept Medicaid won't accept me - I take Clonazepam for a seizure disorder (cannot take Dilantin) and they accept no-one on Clonipin. I've been in pain for over a year, and discovered two days ago that I have a malignant tumor on my esophagus - Been to THREE doctors and it had been misdiagnosed as candidiasis! After enough looking and Googling, I realized I needed a gastroenterologist, who discovered the tumor. Everyone's afraid to prescribe pain meds, especially when there are "extenuating circumstances" such as the person in pain being on methadone. I've even had medical professionals suggest that I'm faking my pain because "there's no way you can take methadone and still have pain." or "Just have your dose raised". It doesn't work that way. I wish it did.
I need a pain doctor who'll not judge or trip because I'm on MAT. I've lived with this pain so long that I've co me to almost accept pain as a natural part of my life. And my hypertension is now called "malignant hypertension". Pain messes with B/P badly ! I can only imagine that you must be overwhelmed with people wanting a referral to your doctor. I pray that I can somehow be fit in. Either way, thanks for your consideration.

Hi, i was reading your post and i am looking for a doctor that writes methadones. I have been taking methadone for 17yrs and it has been great i take my dosage in the mourning and forget about it till the next mourning. but about a year ago i found out i had blood cancer, and while i was going thru all of that for about a year and a haft. my doctor closes up shop. and my cancer doctor helped me for a little bit but now she had to stop. I really need a good doctor that doesn't look at me like a drug addict, and does wright and understands about methadone for chronic pain. I'm a family man that owns my own business for 27yrs that has with GOD beat back cancer. I just need a good doctor and would really really appreciate it. May God bless you, thanks. {edited for privacy}
