Can you tell me about any doctors who can prescribe Vicodin

Tara, that is definitely a good sign if you already signed an agreement. I agree with writing letters, I emailed Mike Dewine. I am in Ohio, then I received a call from his opiate task force asking for my story. It is a very tough situation we are all in. My issues are not going to get better, only worse as I get older which is causing other issues such as depression and isolation. I just cannot get through to these ppl, good luck with your new doctor.

MM, its such a terrible situation. Thats why i strongly suggest everyone write a letter. It definitely cant hurt. I have given suggestions on how to control the abuse. Like i said its inhumane to take away medication that is giving good ppl quality of life.
I have been off pain management for 8 months bc of unforeseen circumstances and Im miserable, trying to find another decent doc is rough...however i do have an appt coming up , fingers crossed hes not affraid to prescribe, he had me sign narcotic agreememt already so thats a good sign.... i hope.
P.s. I reside in northeast Pa.
Take care

Tara, I am not saying right now there are no pain doctors that will write the scripts, I myself still get pain meds but I have personally spoken to Mike DeWines office in Ohio and the goal is that the government is making very difficult for the pain doctors to properly write the scripts for the dosages that will keep a chronic pain patient pain free or at least functional. 5 yrs ago my previous pain doctor told me about what was going to be happening and he was 100% right. If there are doctors out there willing to prescribe dosages high enough to control pain then that patient is extremely lucky, all I am saying is I have heard it directly from the drug task force and numerous doctors where I live and many other chronic pain sufferers and it is going to get more difficult to get pain meds. I have been cut down to a dose that I can barely function.

@MM, I have to disagree with ur statement on No Dr will write narcotic pain meds for pain management. I do agree they are cutting back on mg & doses but they are not going to cut opiate out completly, too many ppl suffer from chronic pain, unfortunately many have abused them & the dea must do something to control this but it would be extremly unethical & inhumane to not help ppl in legitimate pain. There still are Drs that write narcotics its just harder to find them.
I suggest everyone write a letter to ur Congress and/or DEA on ur situation, don't expect a reply but atleast we will be heard.
I wish everyone luck & blessings. Xo

Everyone better get used to the fact one day, and one day soon, none of us will be getting narcotics. My pain doctor and my primary doctor are getting new guidelines on a regular basis to continue to decrease ALL chronic pain patients to where we will not be on anything, this is a FACT!!! It doesn't matter how bad each of us are suffering, doctors are not going to write scripts for pain meds and loose their licenses, it is out of their hands.

Kay-Idk where or what planet you are on but pain mgt. drs. these days dont prescribe meds-they take you off pain meds......there is this hysteria of a war on drugs which has turned chronic pain into a crime not to be treated but to be persecuted and prosecuted. Fear of the DEA has caused pain drs. to stop relieving pain or get another career. If your clinic/dr. still gives you pain meds it wont be long before he/she stops with no explanation to you(or some make up false reasons just for appearances).

Our reps & senators ignore us and allow the barbaric climate of untreated severe chronic pain to murder us.
With treatment life was at best extremely difficult,however, total lack of treatment is nothing less than murder at a dragged out agonizing rate. We are trapped being tortured constantly with no mode of relief. I feel as though my brain will explode from being trapped in this agony and no way out. Only wish all these gov, DEA, CDC, FDA, self righteous cruel bastards would be in my shoes to experience this indescribable horrendous 24/7 trap of agony.

BL-never said anything about politicians-only inquiring info on Trump's plans for chronic pain since I have not kept up on recent news due to being in an incapacitated state too much of my time. S****y to hear his views-however cannot say I am surprised.

If you do find a good Dr, please let me know. I've been going to this pain management facility,since I've been here (3 mts) and they aren't worth a crap. Have had meds changed and decreased and I feel like total CRAP! not sure why they changed them, didn't complain or ask them to.

Hi Sam,

Surgeons get you thru the surgery & only for a short time after-at least from my experiences. Surgery is their specialty, just as pain management Docs deal & are supposed to take care of your PAIN! I go to same pain management Doc. every month for either injections and/or pain meds.By the way, for those Snowflakes that think our GREAT PRESIDENT TRUMP wants to take your narcotics or opioids away, they are WRONG! He is after the illegal street drug activity! Go to a pain management clinic monthly. If you pain Doc isn't helping you with your pain-he/she isn't doing their job-you need to let them know & find one who does!

@Queen, so very well put! Unfortunately im in ur same boat - its bad enough were suffering with this to have some anonymous highly opinionated poster reem us out! The ppl trying to seek out recreational drugs on this site is wrong but NOT everyone is doing that. And unfortunately it's freedom of speech, but for someone to categorize every and anyone to that level is just f'ed up. I've been seeing legitimate PM doctors for 10 + years & bc of all the abuse ect im in a horrible situation at the moment & reading someone going on a rant about this & that infuriates me so much. I wish he & anyone else would keep negative opinions to themselves or a forum that welcomes it, unless u have walked in my or anyone else shoes that are suffering. Thanks for listening & God Bless to u queen & everyone else.

Lynx, politicians do not see these petitions. Trump is Not in favor of less restrictions when it comes to opiates.

With the cuts to Medicaid Trump and the Republicans want to make, it is difficult to believe Trump cares anything about those that don't have the money to buy good health care or any health care. Not to mention what their plans will do to those with pre-existing conditions and those 55-64. They are for tax cuts for the wealthy at the expense of the poor, disabled, children and elderly. Unfortunately, Trump and Republican supporters won't believe this until it negatively affects them and their families.

Not one reply to my message here in Portland Indiana. Stop treating us like we are drug addicts. If you've gone through the hell I've been in with non stop pain and don't require medication for it then don't go preaching to me. I really hope a doctor sees this and replies, hopefully one in or near Portland Indiana. Pain management is a big joke, don't bother. I only need a doctor that's willing to write a prescription and be my primary doctor. I have an appointment Tuesday only to be given cymbalta. I mean come on, my old primary doctor had done everything under the sun and nothing worked. Why can't doctors get this through their egotistical heads? I know my body better than they do.

Momo, I believe you can know see why I am asking for signatures. You can sign anonymously. Thank you.

Praise the Lord the link for the petition finally was approved by the moderators! See, as it currently sits, chronic pain patients are lumped into the category as addicts. This petition is asking to separate us out of that group! Thank you guys for being patient and understanding that sometimes moderators need to now publish some materials which direct members of this group to an outside source. Please sign and share.

Thank you! I hope you're all having a lower pain day!
