REPORT

I've tried the Suboxone route and found it extremely unhelpful and made me really nauseous even with the zofran they prescribed. Methadone definitely hasn't been perfect either but it's helped more than anything else but in having really bad side effects. I made an appt with the doctor there and all they said was that I "wasn't at my therapuetic dose yet" which means they wanted to put me on more instead of look at why I was having these serious problems such as chest pain, shortness of breath, swelling, and extreme pain in my legs and ankles. So I know that I either need to probably lower my dose or start tapering off completely, but just as about everyone in the addict community, no clinic ever wants to taper you off (not properly anyways) bc they would lose your money intake. Regular doctors don't know about methadone so who is supposed to help me with this?? I NEED a doctor who knows what they're doing and will help me...I really don't know where else to go from here :(

Hi Danielle.
Sorry to hear of the predicament that you are in. As I am sure you probably know since you mentioned the clinic (which I assume you are speaking of the methadone clinic), methadone can only be prescribed by regular doctors for pain management and not for addiction purposes. Therefore, if you are looking for methadone to be Rx'd by a doctor that isn't an Addiction Medicine Physician, you should try a pain clinic...but of course you would have to say it's for pain. If you decide to try Suboxone in the future or if you want to look into finding other clinics, samhsa.gov has a 'Clinic Locator,' and also all listings of doctors that Rx buprenorphine (Suboxone, Bunavail, Zubsolv). I wish you luck in finding an answer!

Hello! This message makes It kind of hard to see who wrote what to do but I believe it says that David is the one who gave the name and numbers of private doctors believed to prescribe methadone? I was wondering, David (or whoever wrote this message or ANYONE that knows of any) if you know of any other doctors who might prescribe it? I live in Cumming, Georgia and I doubt there are any in this small town but maybe in Alpharetta, Roswell, Atlanta, Gainesville, or any of the surrounding cities..? I tried calling all of the ones you listed and one wasn't a working number anymore, one said they only prescribe Suboxone, and the other two didn't answer and I tried leaving messages....so if you know of any others I would really appreciate it and it would help me out a great deal I'm having all of these side effects for awhile now and they're starting to scare me and the doctors at the clinic I've tried to talk to are extremely unhelpful and don't seem to care so please let me know ASAP. Thank you very much

Try Dr Matthews @ Nexux pian cen or Phoebe Pain center. You will need a Drs referral! You could try Dr Nyudu ! 229-436-2220. Good luck. I went to private clinic Albany for many years before I finally got a Dr to understand he problem.

AMP141- If you were an established patient seeing a doctor, why would they have not set you up with a new physician when this dr retired? Most doctors (good ones.. those that care and take their hippocratic oath seriously) with an established practice who retire or move will set their pts up with a new dr- ESPECIALLY pts of a Psychiatrist. If this dr just retired and did not refer you to another, that is just WRONG.
I hope that by now you have found another.
All my best-

Hi DillonLove- Unfortunately doctors cannot prescribe Methadone for addiction purposes, only for pain mgmt. She can only receive methadone for addiction through a clinic...and GA is one of THE BEST states for MMT clinics (and there are soooo many, at over 50 clinics compared to less than 20 in Alabama). However, she may be able to find a doctor that would Rx Suboxone. Only certain doctors can Rx Suboxone. You can go to the treatment locator on SAMHSA.gov and find all Suboxone doctors and methadone clinics in GA. Sorry she is going through this! Actually, 40% of babies born to mothers on methadone have no withdrawal symptoms and need no medication (I was one of those 40%). Best of luck!

Hi. I am trying to find an OBGYN that will prescribe methadone for a pregnant patient. A friend of mine is almost 6 months along and has been just getting by with what she can find. Her doctor does not know that she is on methadone and would probably stop treating her all together if she found out, but she cant afford to go to the methadone clinic so her dose is not level and not monitored. This is very dangerous for her baby and the baby will need to be treated after he is born, but since she does not have a prescription right now, that is going to cause a lot of problems for my friend. I am very worried about her, but more worried about her unborn baby boy!! If anyone knows of an obstetrician that can help treat her with methadone in the Athens Georgia area or nearby, and that takes Medicaid PLEASE PLEASE respond to this!!! Thanks!!
