Looking For A Doctor That Is Willing To Prescribe Xanax While Being Treated With Methadone (Page 2)

Looking for a Dr. in Northern Kentucky or greater Cincinnati area that will prescribe xanax while taking methadone. I would prefer a dr that would prescribe both, and be willing to take ky medical card or medicaid. but if i could at least find a dr that will just accept taking methadone and still prescribe something for extreme anxiety along with sleep disorder bi-polor type 2 and the other usual disorders that accompany that type illnesses that would be great!!! If i have to I will take a Dr. that has some time of self pay. I think that's where I don't bill or use any type of insurance i pay cash per visit and that's fine with me. PLEASE HELP I know plety of Drs that will easily prescribe nerve meds with my condition but I don't want to have different Drs that do not know about each other. I need a Dr that will accept and treat both together. Or knowing the full situation. THANKS

Do you know how it feels to be a "dope addict"?

My clinic won't even take you as a patient if you're on Xanax anymore, been that way for about 7 years now. Try Klonopin, it has a longer half life and it works well. I wish the older meds were still around like Doriden and Placidyl.

Re: Elle (# 7)

I’ve been on methadone for about 22 years now and my dose is very high (213mgs) daily. I am a chronic pain patient since age 19 when I was hit by a car which knocked me off of my Harley Davidson & then dragged for 68 feet under the car that hit me before the older woman who was driving the car realized I was being dragged on the pavement which gave my 3rd and 4th degree burns (Road Rash) down entire right leg and 1/2 of my left leg. I broke 39 different bones. It took 250 stitches & staples to close my open head wound that left my actual skull exposed because I was like “Scalped” like back in the Wild West. I was hospitalized and put into a medically induced coma for around 3 weeks while in the burn unit because every day they were “De-Braiding” (Scraping as much gravel outta my legs). And I also had 3 orthopedic surgeries to put screws and bolts into my very broken legs my left wrist/hand/ lower arm. I also had a lot of minor injuries that would take way to long to list. 22 years ago my pain management doctor told me that he wanted me to try methadone for 2 reasons.

#1) I was being given a myriad of very strong schedule 2 opiates that would make me so “loopy & sedated” I couldn’t function as a normal person. I couldn’t drive because I was too impaired, I couldn’t cook because I might nod off and burn the house down. It was truly awful. But when I began taking methadone I found that my pain was tolerable and I didn’t get any side effects whatsoever anymore and the quality of my life improved instantly and I was so relieved and thankful.

Fast forward too current date and time I was in car accident (An idiot ran a red light and I T-Boned him and completely totaled my brand new 2016 Toyota Corolla Limited Edition!! The accident wasn’t my fault. So now my left hip is grinding bone on bone and on 9-21-2022 (Roughly 4 weeks from today) I’m finally getting my hip replacement surgery.

I also have taken Valium since July 2007 when my 18 year old son died. He’d just graduated from high school 8 weeks prior and he was turning 18 in 6 weeks when he took his life. So afterwards I literally went crazy. My husband took me to a psychiatric emergency room where I was prescribed a very high dose of Valium (10 mgs 6 or 7 a day) eventually after maybe 10 years after his death down to 5 mg Valium twice daily along with #15 extra pills for whenever my PTSD/ANXIETY/Nightmares/Flashbacks yada..yada.

My pain management doctor back then knew I took Valium and was concerned that I’d overdose taking both medications. Personally I have never had any problems whatsoever taking both Methadone and Valium under supervision.

It ain’t going to kill you. I’ve been on methadone for going on 3 years in August and I’ve taken a Xanax here an there when I need it and I’m just fine. My anxiety goes away and I’m back to normal. I have panic attacks where I feel like I can’t breathe and I’m struggling the same way. I need a psychiatrist to prescribe the Xanax.

Re: Empathetic (# 29)

What an *****!!! I’ve been on both for 10 years!!! With a productive life and kids and a job, a dope feind wouldn’t be f***ing in recovery. Most ppl on methadone don’t keep using or they get kicked out. To OP, I hope you found somewhere that will serve your needs. Anxiety still exists in people who are on methadone.

To the a**hole who had to s*** talk, do some research. I hope a family member or someone you care for doesn’t become a drug addict with someone like you around. What a sad excuse of a human. Go find a freaking person who gives a s***.

Re: Elle (# 7)

My number is {edited for privacy}. Please tell me where I can get benzos prescribed. Preferably 2mg Xanax 3 times a day for my anxiety from childhood rape and abuse, and 1 or 2, 2mg Klonopin to take before bed. I’m on methadone because after my back surgery the pain clinic said I didn’t need to come back anymore, so here I am. The first thing you’ll think is that I'm a junkie but I’m not.
