Re: DrJoeyMDPhD (# 1)
It's hard for me to believe you are a Dr. Of any kind. Methadone is not just prescribed for drug addiction, it is also prescribed for chronic pain. No dedicated Dr.would refer to the person with this illness of addition as junkies.
Re: IN2B8U (# 36)
I completely agree with you. I hope no one listens to that so called Dr!
Re: DrJoeyMDPhD (# 3)
I really wish you'd stop using the word junkie so much. You seem to lump every addict together. There are some exceptions to patients on methadone needing certain benzos. Not everyone is looking to get high while on methadone. Just because you "sign off on these things everyday" doesn't mean you really know anything that didn't come from a text book. Don't generalize people or rather junkies as you call them. Many methadone patients went there for help and are doing everything they should.

Really!? Why are YOU replying to "her" on here? You putting others down that became addicted because of different circumstances is just IGNORANT! Addiction is addiction, and if something is ONLY for a specific person's eyes; then ya are on the wrong forum. Just saying-- everyone has an opinion, if you don't like it; move on.

Excuse me Doctor but it is spelled Halcion not "Halycion" and the generic for that is called Triazolam.
You either are no doctor or you slept through medical school.
By the way, it is unethical for any physical to make any diagnosis without evaluating a person.
You are a doctor so you should know this. You do not know what is causing the person to even have panic attacks, you just simply diagnosed it as panic attack disorder.
Come on man. You slept through medical school and I feel sorry for your patients with your attitude. You probably dont have any as you admit that you had an accident and are now doing nothing except playing doctor.
Have a nice day

Good luck mate,I'm in Australia ,it's so hard here as well, especially finding one who wants to help you,things sure have changed ,good luck.
Re: Scally (# 31)
Hey Scally,I'm in Australia same thing happens here,the whole systems changed,to top it off it costs at least $50 for packet of cigs,the times sure have changed.
Looking for a doctor that prescribes benzodiazepines in Syracuse New York just having trouble finding one I just moved into the area a few weeks ago and I have been recently getting anxiety more than usual and the panic attacks have come back in full swing and I can’t deal with it I’ve been off my meds for the last few months and need a new doctor thanks
Good luck - I'm in the UK and u would have no chance of getting all that. They love giving methadone and subutex out but f*** me it's hard getting benzos. Took me a month to get diazepam. Only good thing is it's free.
Re: DrJoeyMDPhD (# 1)
Wow why are u you calling someone a junkie if you don't know the circumstances? Just because someone takes methadone does not mean that they are a junkie. Just another stigmatized jerk for a dr. Would say such a thing methadone is given for different reasons. Yes, at time it was used for herion addicts to get off the drug, but times have changed. I was given methadone by my primary dr for crps and other health issues along with several back surgeries. Removed a tumor which was cancer but they were able to get it all. Been on it over 25 years and I do take ativan as well for anxiety and panic attacks, also have copd. And the lung dr give it to me so that when I have attacks it calms me. But I am no junkie. Not everyone who has to take pain meds or anxiety medication are considered junkies. Shame on you as dr. Sorry just saying thought u was a little out of line.
Re: Kannr20 (# 13)
I agree,what gives anybody the right to play god, especially this day an age it's not really a perfect world,why not give people what they need if makes them feel bit better,I wonder if the dear dr enjoys a wine every night to help him relax an play god the next day!! I'm in Australia same crap goes on here,whatever you do don't help people especially if they can't cope with all the crap in this world.

DR. Joey is no longer with us. He wasn't a real Doctor in case you were wondering?
Re: DrJoeyMDPhD (# 1)
First of all, you're a doctor and calling this person a junkie...That's a big problem today with a-holes like you who feel you know more of what you're supposed to do when we come to see you... SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND WRITE MY SCRIPT PUNK.
WHY WOULD YOU CALL SOMEONE A JUNKIE DID HE OR SHE SAID HE WAS THAT WAS RUDE .NOT ALWAYS IS PEOPLE CALLED A SO CALLED JUNKIE BECAUSE THEY TAKE METHADONE METADONE IS USE AS A PAIN MEDICATION ALSO. OF COURSE YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT
Re: DrJoeyMDPhD (# 3)
Why are you calling these people junkies? If you are a doctor you wouldn't be using that term and instead using a term that a real doctor would use, like drug addict. Why don't you call the person a piece of s*** loser while you're at it?
Re: Tina (# 2)

Re: Cassie88 (# 22)
He wasn't a real Doctor PhD anyway
Re: DrJoeyMDPhD (# 1)
I am prescribed methadone for pain and xanax for my severe anxiety. I take them as prescribed and I do not feel any euphoric effect. I work 12 hours a day 6 days a week and have a very fulfilled life. People who know me have no idea that I take these medicines. I'm a contributing member of society. So don't put everyone into 1 category. It's unprofessional.
Re: jack (# 12)
Well Jack, I don't know where your getting your information. Methadone is legal in all 50 States. Who told you its not legal? Now if your an addict its not legal for your doctor to write you an RX for pain. You need to go to a clinic. But it's a legal medication
