Doctors In Louisiana That Prescribe Methadone For Chronic Pain (Page 4) (Top voted first)

Updated

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!!

Monique, if you're really in that much pain which I don't doubt, and you have a history of pain management, go to the place that I've posted on this site. It's the Anodyne clinic on Sierra Ct. in Metairie, La. They are very good but very strict. You have to be at least 30 years old and have proper documentation. Phone number is (504) 834-1311. Good Luck and I hope you get the help you need.

i, Methadone Clinics are for drug addicted. If you aren't a drug addict, a Methadone Clinic isn't going to take you. If you manage to lie and have them take you, if the time comes and you are no longer able to go to the clinic, a pain doctor isn't going to treat your pain because you have a history of drug addiction. All of your doctors will know that you are being treated for drug addiction. Going to a Methadone Clinic is not like going to pain management. Put Methadone Clinics, Shreveport, La. in google.

Pain management doctors are getting away from prescribing Methadone for chronic pain.

Brett, the CDC Recommendations state no more than 90 mg Morphine/90 mg Morphine Equivalent Daily Dosage. The CDC Recommendations are for Primary Care Physicians. But, a lot of Pain Management Doctors are going by the CDC Recommendations. Several years ago the FDA Recommended no more than 120 Mg Morphine/120 Morphine Equivalent Daily Dosage.

It is up to each doctor to prescribe for each patient according to their professional judgement. Some doctors lie to their patients and blame reduction of meds on the government because patients argue with them less if they think it is out of their hands. It is highly doubtful you will find another doctor that will prescribe you the dosage you were taking before.

Responsible pain management doctors will give you the 10mg quick release oxycodone, at least my doctor did when I tried to get off methadone. Unfortunately, I didn't realize what a good job the methadone was doing for me because I couldn't have a normal existence without pain when i was off of the methadone. Silly me thinking maybe I didn't need the methadone anymore.

Different strokes for different folks. I've been on methadone for over 10 years, best thing that ever happened to me when I decided to switch from a drug cocktail to methadone. I'm sure it saved my life if not my marriage...

I have had Sciatica, knee injuries broken back and have been on just about every pain med there is available in Sweden and now England. Fentanyl 75mcgs Zomorph and then to 240mls Physeptone. This is about twice as strong as regular methadone. It is the best pain killer I have had and here everything is free. No one talks or questions who makes it (30 yrs ago I helped my village chemist make it up incl. what colour I preferred.) But you Americans seem to have a terrible time with meds. Which company made it generic or original? Which chemist to go to.? Surely like here and Europe it makes no difference. As long as the active ingredient is in at the stated dose it doesn't matter what it looks like or what name they give it. Too much capitalism seems to cause paranoia. Roche one of the best drug companies ever changed Rohypnol from white tablets to green with a blue filling. Sweden refused to stop prescribing after US and UK banned it. Makes no sense to ban a drug that you can't knock out people using their drinks as there are still many more that are similar. Triazolam (Halcyon?) still everywhere. Anyway back to Methadone for back pain. No it is not at all recommended here. I go to a pain clinic. The only reason I get Methadone (Physeptone) is because I have been using it for decades. They actually say that Voltaren (Diclofenic) is the best pain killer for lower back pain. Rarely they prescribe opiates for anything other than Cancer patients. So basically as the NHS are government funded they have no reason to lie. But outside of a pain Clinic you can persuade certain Drs to prescribe any narcotic you want. It all depends here on the Dr. In Sweden they have a live stream data base over private Drs prescribing narcotics too often. Here in England they don't but the village I live in have a practice where they have set up rules on prescribing narcotic medication. I am moving to a new village with better Drs. Some are like police, give them power and they play god. Don't know about the USA but glad I am here.
