Doctors In Louisiana That Prescribe Methadone For Chronic Pain (Page 5) (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!!

I'm 30 with severe osteoporosis, which causes me chronic pain. I'm located in covington and cannot find a doc that will help. If your doc is still taking patients, please give me the name and address. My job is very physically demanding and I really don't think I can do it much longer without help. I've tried the injections and blocks, but they don't help at all.

I Am very surprised that you are getting any relief at all,methadone is a very good pain killer at first,after some time depending on dose and the individuals tolerance,once it plugs up your opioid receptors,in your brain nothing works for pain,that is in the opiates,you either have to stop the methadone for a while then narcotic pain med will work,that is why i find it very hard to understand that it is working for you at all,i have been on the program for 14 years and am now dealing with some very bad pain i have tried very high doses of oxy,morphin,diladid,fentynal up to the 100 mcg patch with absolutely no relief,,i then had to resort to tylenol staite tylenol,and i got more re leave,that all of the above,and now i have compromised my liver,so now because i will have this pain for the rest of my life,the only thing that i can do is start a detox on the meth,that is the reason they use meth to treat opioid addiction .I hope with my horrible grammar that some of this is understand able. thankx for listening.

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.

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.
