Doctors Willing To Prescribe Pain Medication In Las Vegas Nv (Page 13) (Top voted first)

I have mouth cancer that is very painfull and have been taking opioids/pain meds for many years. My tolerance is extremely high, so to have the meds actually work on the pain i'm needing a lot more than most. Just a guide of what i thank would help me and my history with pain meds: About 360 roxys 30mg, 180-240 lortabs 10mg, 90 morphine er mg, 150 xanax 2mgs, and 180 somas, which is not a lot to me. Is there any Dr. in las vegas, NV willing to write like this any more? #CANCER PAIN IN VEGAS

Since you have cancer there isn’t a doctor anywhere who wouldn’t treat you.. I’m sure you must have Medical records so why are you having problems.. Even with the new suggestions have nothing to do with you since you have cancer. Just find a doctor and go in with your medical history

I need a doctor in Las Vegas, NV who can treat my pain and ADHD. I'm on adderall and it makes me miserable. I don't know if I'm feeling tired from Fybromyalgia and arthritis or if the adderall is zapping me, but it's bad. I need nerve blocks and any kind of inj. to stop the pain, so I won't need pain meds.

Re: Jan (# 25)

Hi Jan, how are you doing? The paths that led us here may be different but at the end of this addiction journey, we will share the same story! Imo (in my opinion), you are very much addicted to your medication. Reason being, you are repeating the same behavior (this time it's 3 days with an extra pill) that got you terminated from your last physician! Wow, reading the numerous posts and now my reply to you, this sounds as if we're speaking of a job or sumn lol....anywho, an agreement is binding, and I don't know if you signed a contract with this physician, but if you did and it states that you are to take ONLY as prescribed, then you already know that's grounds for dismissal! Please do what you're supposed to do because otherwise you'll find yourself in the same position, yet you're expecting this physician to show you empathy but he will NOT! You never know when there will be a surprise pill count and you're already off target. Come on sister! This is EXACTLY the behavior they're expecting! This is their job- to sort of the addicts from the legitimate pain patient, because believe it or not, there are millions of people still receiving adequate pain relief with no changes to their meds. However, if you're meds and/or dosages have changed, then chances are they suspect you of being addicted to them and will find any reason to get rid of you.....yep, it's just the way it is now!

And please DO NOT get upset with my perspective on this and the voicing of my concern, because I sincerely empathize with all of us because despite our paths, our journeys are the same; it's a struggle whether you build a tolerance, become physically dependent, or become addicted to narcotics, thus, there is NO measurement regarding which of the three is more worse than the other! So, I'm here to offer support from one caring person to another; whether it's accepted or not because I get it and since I do, I am obligated to give what I have- empathy and compassion!

Be Blessed Beautiful People

Re: Ryan (# 1)

Who are you seeing that is writing you a decent amount even? My doctor stopped taking my insurance so I had to find a new one, but the one I tried has cut me down to 1/8 of what I had been taking (which was working fine, I wasn’t asking for more nor was I asking for it early). This is horrible! I feel like I’m being punished because one jerk dr didn’t want to take Medicaid anymore! (Yes I know there are many reasons why a dr would stop taking one insurance suddenly). AND now this new dr is threatening to cut me down EVEN FURTHER despite no improvements in my condition!

Fair warning, DO NOT even TRY PrimeMed!!! Not only are the not managing my pain, but they also made me reschedule my appointment because I was only 10 minutes early and not the 30 they asked for (there was a death in the family and they could have cared less)!! I will be finding ANYONE else.

More like you can't live w/o the pain meds. Toughen up! I went a whole month with a huge cyst on my ovary with no pain medication. The dr wanted to do surgery right away and I told him I wanted to wait to see if it went away and it did. The pain was horrendous but I didn't even ask for anything. All of you looking for pain meds. should try Dr. Now from My 600 lb. Life, see what he says. He'll let you know what you need and don't need. Advil works!

There is no way any doctor will perscribe those high doses even with cancer that I know .My Dad had throat cancer and has a hole in his throat then the cancer moved to his mouth and he had his tongue removed .well he only gets 10mg oxycodones every 4 hours a liquid kind through his stomache feeder

Any help is appreciated

Please help, any one? I have been taking the exact same dose of Kadian, which is 100mg, twice daily for about 7 yrs. now, so no wonder it no longer helps me?!!! I also cannot find a breakthrough medication that will help at all. I am on SSI, I have straight medicaid and live in Las Vegas. I go see my pain management Dr. tomorrow, but he seems so unwilling to change anything & I have never been so depressed in my life. I have no quality of life any more, I'm only 45, female. I feel like I'm in a convalescent home and about 90 yrs. old. I can't do anything w/my 20 yr. old daughter any more, whom happens to be my life.......so is there anybody in Las Vegas that can email me before 7:00 am Pacific time to give me any ideas as to what else is out there for breakthrough pain & how do I (or can I even, in Las vegas) ask to up the mgs. of my kadian? Does any one know if it's true that straight medicaid in Las Vegas won't pay for MSContin, or Avinza? Someone told me that; don't believe them. Please help me if you can, Dr. asks what I want for breakthrough pain & he's the one w/knowledge of the drugs!! These are what we've tried: 4mg dilaudid five times a day. I can take all 5 at once, no help whatsoever. Also, msir 30 mg. five a day. Neither of these work for me. I definitely need to know if straight medicaid will pay for stronger mgs. of my main medication. If not, something similar? I would appreciate any help that anyone can give me...also, I will be up all night since I can never sleep, especially before going to see this doctor. I feel all of your pain; every one here, I hope I have finally found a place where people understand me. I did not know this existed before tonight. Thank you so much, just for being here. I love all of yas.. =o)

I too have had chronic pain for over ten years, perm disabled and retired from disability, and i am only 40. Had multiple back surgeries and knee surgeries all from athletics. I had been on ungodly amounts of opiates and many types. The pain caused me to get worse both physically and mentally. Every doc I would see just prescribed more meds and said I should be dead from the amount I was taking. But, they continue to prescribe them. My best advice came from Dr. Mel Pohl when I went to a place called Las Vegas Recovery Center. They specialize in pain management with many modalities and getting you off the meds. The biggest breakthrough came after I was off the meds for about a month and began taking Effexor. I am on a high dose, but the way the drug works, it has balanced my brain out so even though I still have pain everyday, I don't focus on it. My brain isn't hardwired to my pain any longer. I am still required to take something every couple of months when I have a really bad flare up, but find if I take it more than three days my pain becomes much worse because my body begins to crave the opiates again. May not work for everyone, but I am somebody that tried EVERYTHING and found this by chance. Give it a shot, you never know. The freedom of not having to wake up feeling sick and having to take a med just to get outta bed is amazing and life altering.

I am so discouraged in this F....ng town(Las Vegas) I've got Stage IV metastatic small cell Lung & Liver cancer. Without treatment they give me 2-4 months & with treatment about 6-8months. I'm in severe pain(not to mention my crohn, celiac or diabetes on the side) I don't know how to find a pain mgmt. dr. certified to prescribe TIRF meds that I desperately need. You'd think they would have a list of qualified doctors in your area that are qualified to prescribe Immediate release Fentanyl. My pain mgmt. Doctor is Robert Biem & I saw him for the first time this last week. But I don't know if he qualifies for the Program. HELP PLEASE!

Hi All,

Instead of everyone telling each other about what they are taking or a huge story of why they are taking such drugs, the real question and answer is this. I need like so many others here in the Las Vegas area need to find a Dr. who will prescribe pain medicines, like Roxy 30's+, Methadone, Loratabs, 10mg, Percocets, 10mg & Soma's etc. I have insurance but I don't have money to go to a dr, like one of the links metioned above as I am on disability. For my self I need a Dr who will proscrib Roxy 30mg 120+ quanity, Soma 359mg 120+ Fentalyn 100mg Patches 14 quanity and Xanac 10mg 120+.

I have Medicare A & B and Medicad.

Plse help
