Need Help Finding Doctor To Prescribe Either Oxycodone Vicodin Or Methadone 10mg For My Chronic Pain (Page 24)

I have been suffering from chronic pain for 7 years and have always been on and off pain meds from tylenol 3 to 90mg methadone at the worst of any ever taken. I decided to dose down & get off of methadone as I did not care for the "clinic" enviroment per say as I was using more for pain then for addicition. I found a dr that prescribed me the pain meds for breakthrough pain and the pill form of methadone 10mg was what I chose but now he is gone as he lost his license which sucks for me because NO ONE will give me anything, not even the methadone unless I go back to the stupid clinc and I so don't want that... DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A DR. that would prescribe anything or just something to get me through life with less pain? I am in the twin cities of Minnesota and I will drive if need be.

I've just been released from a so called physician from refilling my hydrocodone that I've been on for about 15 years. Instantly stopped no warning because she doesn't believe in meds for fibromyalgia as well as other back issues. I'm suffering from withdrawals and horrible extreme pain. She took over my care from my physician who retired. Anyone who knows about this medication knows you are not to just stop care. This to me is unethical as a doctor. I've never failed a test or had any issues she has a personal bias cause I was told she only gives this medication to elderly patients who have arthritis. I suffer arthritis too and just because I'm in my 40s doesn't make my pain any less than theirs. These doctors feel like than can do anything without any reprecoussion and that's not fair. I got nothing to curb the withdrawals or a referral to anyone else. What can I do cause the office she's at stands by her even though the medication states there can be all kinds of issues by instantly stopping this medication and I'm dealing with many of them. Just because you have limited income doesn't mean you should get inferior care

Honor, what do you mean you refilled your hydrocodone ? You haven't been able to get refills on hydrocodone since Oct 6, 2014. Stopping any opiate after an extended time of use can be difficult. But, the dosage, the med and how often you take it has a lot to do with how difficult stopping it can be. If you have been/are getting the hydrocodone from another doctor and not telling your doctor of 15 years you are seeing another doctor for this medication, that can cause problems with your doctors. It sounds like your doctor of 15 yrs has a strong position on hydrocodone. If you don't respect her position, she has every right to dismiss you. It is not your doctors responsibility to find you a new doctor or give you a referral. Even if you got a referral there are no guarantees a new doctor would prescribe you want you want. Call your insurance company and ask for list of doctors in your area that accept your insurance. If you don't have insurance. Call the doctors in your area and ask if they accept self pay patients. A new doctor will more than likely want a copy of your medical records from your doctor of 15 yrs. Chances are very good the doctor a note in your medical records about the hydrocodone. This may make it difficult for you to find a new doctor.

Your dr may of not had a choice as some states are not permitting family practice dr's to do pain meds. Ohio only allows a 7 day supply from a general practice dr., but for long term treatment you must use a pain management doctor.

Roro, who told you some states do not allow family practice doctors to prescribe opiates for chronic pain patients ? This is not true.

I agree. My family doctor prescribes my pain medication and I see him every three months. Some doctors are not honest about why they cannot prescribe.
It is a big responsibility but if a patient follows the rules and does not abuse their prescriptions their doctor will prescribe for them.

I would advise doing a web search for your area. If no internet, check the yellow pages. Your surgeon should have given you a list of options. Don't put it off. Some areas take 3-4 months to get in. Good luck.

Not necessarily! In my experience, asking around from friends in the medical field will be better.

Cy,

Did you have a pain management doctor in Florida. The city of San Jose has shut down most of the clinics that had doctors prescribing morphine.
Most pain management clinic now insist on injections of steroids and therapy.

There is a pain management clinic in Redwood City and a doctor Date but she needs records and is very cautious. You have to sign a contract and give urine.

As for any rules in Ohio they are the worst city for opiate over doses so it would be very hard to find a doctor who will fill opiates. It has been on tv and on line.

Nicki, have you seen a psychiatrist ? Anxiety is a mental condition. Psychiatrists treat mental conditions.

Please though do NOT take more tramadol than prescribed, even though people say they do it all the time. Like if someone tells you "oh, take 5 or 6 (or however many they want) and you'll be feeling better, I do it all the time and I'm fine." Maybe they are, not counting liver damage, but it can be habit forming and it can make you have grand mal seizures. I have seen this with my own eyes to a very good friend. Thankfully he is fine now but it was scary as hell. Please be careful with your meds people. Especially all you people out there who abuse your meds and make it harder for people like my husband (who actually lives with chronic pain every day of his life) to get the pain medicine he so desperately needs to actually function and do the things with his family that he enjoys doing. Otherwise he'd be in so much pain he would just have to lay in bed all day miserable.
