Need Help Finding Doctor To Prescribe Either Oxycodone Vicodin Or Methadone 10mg For My Chronic Pain
(Newest replies first)

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.

Not for long girlie. And I'm very sorry. Tramadol is being treated the same as hydrocodone and that class of drugs. I know this because it's happening to me in real time. My Xanax is getting hit now. I have had severe panic attacks and anxiety for 40 years.

I'm in severe pain from shingles and need some vicodin to help with pain and it appears either my doctor won't prescribe it or his nurse hasn't told him! I don't take pain pills often but the pain has really gotten to me. The shingles are blistered and are all over my body such as left hip, private parts and back. Any doctor is or around Michigan that might write a prescription? Desperate!!!

Are you sure you take 180mg of Roxicodone? That is a very high dose of one medication. I take Roxicodone and the highest i am able to take is 15mg 3 times a day. I know they have 30mg but that is the highest I believe. Be careful if you are taking that much.

No doctor has to continue giving you the same medications a previous doctor did. Especially if that medication is an opiate. It is usually insurance companies and not doctors that require referrals.

That's fine right now my pain management doc is paid by work comp.so once I settle he said I'll have to pay him myself I'm taking 80 mg of methadone and 180 mg of roxicodon a day so it won't be that bad.especially since my doctors screwed up on two surgeries that made me 100%disabled stupid doctors I can't stand them any more and what makes it worse is the one doc got really mad at me before the surgery because I wanted an interpeternal because she was Chinese and I was white so they just got mad and didn't tell me she was on a fellowship from china.now I can barley walk from them cutting my souphenous nerve be carefull out there.

Due to the high rate of abuse and addiction among Medicaid Recipients it is difficult, if not impossible to find a Medicaid Doctor that will prescribe pain meds. Many receiving Medicaid have had to pay out of pocket to see Pain Management Doctors if they want pain meds.

Re: Mari (# 489)

Call your insurance company and ask for a list of Pain Management Doctors in your area. If you don't have insurance start calling Pain Management Doctors in your area. Ask if they accept self pay patients. You will need a copy of your medical records from your previous doctor to prove you have a medical condition that may require opiates. Be sure and have your previous doctors address, office number and fax number for a new doctor.

You need to be prepared for a new doctor to not prescribe what you have been taking at your first visit. A new doctor may or may not prescribe what you have been taking later on.

How does one find a doctor that prescribes pain medication without sounding like a seeker? I just moved to Bangor, Maine and need to find a pain management doc, but this area is very limited. I have been on the same dose of an opioid for 9 yrs, work full time and have zero history of addiction personally or in my family. I want to continue with the same medication, but do not know how to find a new provider without sounding like I'm addicted or something. I don't know, there is just such a stigma for pain patients and due to the addiction issues in this country they look at all of us like we are all the same! What are pain patients to do? Many of us can work full time and lead productive lives on these medications. What are we to do? Please help me, if you can. Thank you!

Re: Honor (# 486)

Who told you "Whatever meds the previous physician gave me they aren't supposed to change until they go thru testing." There are no laws or rules that say a new doctor has to continue prescribing the same medications a previous doctor did. Especially in the case of Schedule II drugs. Each doctor has their own way of prescribing. It is common for a new doctor to not prescribe Schedule II drugs at first or at all. Blood pressure drugs are not the same as opiates.

There are no laws or rules that say a doctor has to give you a referral. Some doctors require referrals and some don't. Some insurance companies require a referral if insurance is going to pay the bill.. Some do not.

No doctor is required to prescribe you opiates. Some doctors prescribe opiates. Some do not. As I said earlier, it is unusual for a new doctor to prescribe opiates in the beginning. By insisting a doctor prescribe you opiates to manage your pain you appear as a drug seeker. It is possible some of the doctors you have seen would have prescribed you opiates after treating you for a while. A doctor saying they will not prescribe opiates does not always mean they won't. They say that to discourage drug seekers from coming back.

Reporting the doctor and/or clinic will do not good. It is up to each doctor to prescribe what they believe, in their professional judgement each patient needs. Another doctor saying a doctors conduct is unethical means nothing. There is no way of knowing if a doctors conduct is unethical unless the doctor read your medical records, talked to the doctor in question and is an expert in the field. A doctor practicing medicine in the same field does not make them an expert.
