Doctors In Louisiana That Prescribe Methadone For Chronic Pain (Page 16)

Sara Says:
I have been taking 120 mg of methadone for approximately 5 years. My husbands job transferred us from Florida to Louisiana where I found a pretty good pain doc. He is now running scared and wants to take me off of methadone. Methadone has given me a good quality of life; I am able to work and be a productive member of society. My doctor is unwilling or unable to assist me in finding a new doctor who will continue my meds. Oh yeah, I have been the route of blocks and injections and gotten little if any relief. I'm tired of being branded a drug seeker-I have years of medical records that back up my claims and verify the dosages that I've been on-what drug seekers have this kind of back up? I am looking for a Louisiana doctor, but am willing to travel (within reason of course). Please help!!

sasha smith,
Louisiana Medicaid (BayouHealth) will not pay for Pain Management. Only if you have Medicare and Medicaid, not just Medicaid.

Yes, I am having the same problem. All the clinics in Louisiana want to do the liquids and I don't want that. I have been on 30 mgs of methadone a day for cronic pain and arthritis, hydrocodone 10/500 and my xanax. Could you please help me with a dr.? Please.

M-Man. Can you please help me. I and my wife have been rx'd m-done for 20 years. I couldn't afford our dr in Lafayette anymore and we have insurance. Is your dr taking new patients ? I have my med records and history, also pharmacy printouts. We have been trying to find help for a month. I get turned away at the front desk. Been to er and was turned away. I'm not an addict or never have been. Have 20 years of drug test results. Very desperate.

I use to go to a doctor in Galiano La. At the Lady of the Sea clinic, Dr. Walter Byrdsal and he was giving me 150mg a day. But I decided to quit and did a subutex detox in his office for a few days but it did not help my detox, I suffered for almost 3 weeks, thought I was going to loose my mind, but I finally got through it and will never get on methadone again. I've detoxed off of oxycontin and it was bad, but only for a few days. Methadone gets in your bone marrow and it is a slow gradual intense detox that i never want to experience again.

I have same problem as Sara & Knot does about finding real help for a real problem I've had with spinal damage since I was 25 when I first broke my back. Doctors think taking the pill is worse than dealing with pain. Of-course their not dealing with any pain. My doctor cares more about he's cows (that he has for tax deduction) than he cares for his patents. What can a person do to find a doctor who's willing to live up to that hippocratic oath they take to become a doctor. Please help if you can.
