I am very sorry that this happened to you.

However, did you sign a contract agreeing to such terms in order to be treated there?

And what was the medication you had in your system?

As to looking for a new doctor, you are going to have to stick with pain management. Under the new laws, general practitioners will no longer be able to prescribe pain medications for long-term chronic pain treatment.

Another tip I can give you is when you call a new doctor to set up an appointment, don't ask them if they will prescribe medications, since many will consider that drug seeking behavior and won't even set an appointment up for you.

Learn more pain management details here.

Another difficulty you may run into is having the dismissal from this last doctor in your records.

Does anyone have any ideas or know of a doctor they can suggest?

when I had urine test at the Dr. office amphetamines showed up so they sent it off for further testing. I had been going there for over a year now and never failed a drug test and the only thing I had taken was over the counter cold medicine. The Dr give me 20 pills for my take down dose but told me to take them like I would normally take my meds that if I had only taken over the counter meds that I would be fine. She told me to call in 72 hrs and find out but that she was sure I would be coming to pick up my prescription. I waited and just went back to the Dr office instead of calling well they told me that they would no longer see me as a patient. I ask why and the reason they give was because they didn't prescribe me the over the counter medicine. And that wad all that showed up was dayquill and Mucinex. But on the discharge papers it said I had pain meds that wasn't prescribed and not enough of the pain meds that were prescribed. I was prescribed 4 30mg Oxy's a day and 4 5mg oxy's. I have a lot wrong with my back and neck and RSD in my arm which is very painful. I need to find a Dr. in Charleston W.V as fast add possible. Since I did take my meds like she told me to I am a lot of pain and withdrawal.

EFQESHope Clinic in Charleston is an OK clinic. just be prepared 2 monthly drug test. They go in with you. Do not let anyone know you go .There are some people that I know that will call your doctor because you won't give them or sell them your medication. it is fairly easy to get in as long as u have medical records or mri's. It is self pay some ins but no medicare or medicaid. Follow their rules and u should be fine easy.

That's not true. hope clinic will write but they will discharge easy, cuz I just got kicked out for them saying my meds were not in my system. when they did an office drug panel all my meds showed up. when they sent it off it just disappeared out my system. I didn't get drug panels every month and when I did no one went in with me..... the reason they discharged me is cuz I had someone who wanted my meds and cuz I would not give them to them they called my doc...

Anyone who gives away their doctor who prescribes pain meds is stupid.....Givin up their connect. Duh. Also most people writing on here can not spell or speak well. Very uneducated. How about spending sometime trying to learn new things instead of trying to learn where the legal dope dealers are. Damn Pillbillies!!! Much love though!!!

They see it as drug pushing because that's what the addicts claim they need the meds for and then they go out and sell them to get other drugs. I have had it happen to me.

Bear .... Have you taken your wife to a pain management doctor? This is about the only doctors that will prescribe pain medications these days. Also, many of pain management doctors are anesthesiologists who can give steroid inj's. and such which can also help a great deal sometimes. I also recommenced that you go with her, do not let her go alone. I seem to get a lot better care when my ex husband has taken me and now my long term gentleman friend will go with me most times. I think it helps a doctor when someone else is there to vouch for their loved ones pain and can also answer questions that a doctor might have about alcohol use or illegal drugs, again vouching for your loved one. Please keep us informed. I do wish I could help you with a doctors name but i am from Florida but know your wives pain as I started with cervical herniation's. I send my love and prayers for your wife.

Re: Maria (# 57)

I know of a doctor that prescribes methadone and oxycodone. I can give you his name but he is in Virginia. Can you please tell me where you were going that gave you the methadone? I’m having trouble finding a doctor that will prescribe it since I left the doctor that I mentioned in Virginia. I have to have surgery soon. Thanks

Instead of paying a foreign doctor pushing drugs to get rich quick... try wild lettuce that you can find in almost every yard... be careful it is as strong as morphine and you can overdose and die.

I realize this is two years old but I just came across this. I suffer from diabetic polyneuropathy and two bulging discs in my back (L4, L5). I recently just moved from Pennsylvania to Southern Virginia for a job and have had no success anywhere. Tried 3 different pain clinics. If you could still point me in the right direction I would be forever in your debt. {edited for privacy}.

I've been trying to find me a dr who will give me something to help me. I was at another clinic, been there going on 9 yrs, and I went to another dr before that and was there about that same amount of time. But I never missed my appointments, or I had never failed a drugs panel. So if you would, what was that place you where going to? I've been without my meds for long enough. I can't sleep due to having light seizures, jerk around when I'm trying to sleep. I hate that happened to you. Nowadays you really got to be careful if you are getting your meds strong, because the rest of them won't write them for you.

I have been on methadone 5 mg one time a day for several years. I started this medicine in 2004 from a doctor in Charlottesville, VA. He prescribed 5 mg 4 times a day and I felt like I had my life back. After about 2 years he passed away and then I found a pain clinic in the Princeton, WV area. This clinic closed so my regular physician would not prescribe my meds. I have fibromyalgia and arthritis aggravated by migraines and some other medical problems. As I said I'm only taking 5 mg in the morning to just be able to move around and get my body going. Now my regular physician says he may no longer be able to prescribe the one pill a day because of laws about opioids. He doesn't want to be classified as a pain clinic. Does anyone know of a pain clinic in the southern WV area or surrounding areas that has a pain clinic that may prescribe a little more than 5mg a day of methadone? I have NEVER abused them and I mean NEVER. I sit here today in pain trying so hard to clear the mind fog and pain to be able to just make it thru the day. I don't think this is asking too much for a physician to prescribe just a little more. I am 70 years old and in otherwise good condition. It's just the pain and mind fog from fibromyalgia and arthritis. I can get meds for the migraines without any problems. My stress level is super high. I really need help to have a little quality in my life
