Need Kind Dr. To Prescribe Klonopin To Patients On Methadone (Top voted first)

I'm sick of living day to day with chronic anxiety, social anxiety, Panic attacks and PTSD. Every time I see a DR they are fearful of "the letter" they get from the methadone clinic and also that I am "drug seeking ". I am not a drug seeker and feel very offended, and scared because I am not getting the help I need. I live in South Minneapolis, Minnesota but I am willing to drive as long as it's in MN. Thank You to anyone willing to read this and possibly give some advice. Peace

Hey , not worries everything is going to be ok I was in the same position what my Dr. did was put me on 0.3 calipres for blood pressure and 0.1 mg klonipin and finigin for my stomach so the medication ?? will not damage your liver it’s a very simple process and with in 3-6 months you will be totally ?? percent none dependent on any bezo only maybe 1mg. Klonipin for your anxiety ?? ok it’s going to be ok and im on 140 mg. Of methedon for pain I was in a bad motercycle accident it’s been 8 years I’ve been on this medication.

I was prescribed Klonopin and or xanax for over 10 years while being prescribed methadone, and now I am having trouble with my anxiety and don't like leaving my house because my anxiety disorder is through the roof. Please reach out asap. Thank you! {edited for privacy}

Hey Angie, my boyfriend has that same problem and is often told he is "drug seeking" cuz the medication works and very well. So bcuz he has tried all other anxiety meds to no avail, they treat him like a criminal and a drug addict bcuz of the methadone.....it's so f****d up! But try these 2 doctor's, the first one will prescribe Xanax/Klonipin immediately if you don't say anything about methadone. But if you want to try to get off methadone and be on Suboxone, she prescribes Suboxone and will give you Xanax/Klonipin and Suboxone. She just wants to be your only prescriber. Her name is Adejoke Adedeji, Nexus of Hope in Lakeville. Or you can call Ali Ebrihimi at ACP Associated Clinic of Phycology in Mpls over by Lake St. N Excelsior Blvd.... He prescribes Xanax/Klonipin while on Methadone.....hope that helps you a little!!!

Out2GetIt (# 2) -- I have been on Methadone 213 mg since 2006 and I have been prescribed Valium 10 mg three times a day since July 2007 (My son was killed and I had a nervous breakdown and literally went crazy for a long time which is when I began taking Valium and Soma) At the very beginning he was giving me #60 10 mg Valium a week and #60’Soma a week) I have tapered myself down under my psychiatrist directions from Ten 10mg Valium a day to three 5mg a day now but it took almost 14 months for me to taper myself down. To the lower dose of the Valium,, Because there are people out there that are taking high doses of any type of benzodiazepines can lead to long term issues including damage to your brain. Personally I couldn’t “function” at all whatsoever when I was taking such massive amounts of both Soma, Valium and Methadone I was so Impaired that I couldn’t safely drive my car or cook dinner because of being so sedated I coulda burned the house down while trying to cook something/ and couldn’t drive because I was extremely impaired by the medications.. It actually was my chronic pain doctor that switched me to Methadone from all of the heavy duty pain drugs I’d been on daily after I was nearly killed in a motorcycle accident at age 19 and I’m 52 now which is the reason why I’m still a chronic pain patient too begin with and it’s been about 30 years now since my accident and I still suffer excruciating pain from the motorcycle accident.. My pain specialist said “I think that because all of the medications your taking is impacting my entire quality of life in a bad way so I want you to keep an open mind about switching and I’d like you to try taking Methadone once aday instead of the all of the Morphine/. Fentanyl / Dilaudid/ Demerol and oxycodone Hydrocodone and it was one of the best decisions that I’ve ever made in my life because I can totally function now without being all screwed m-up from the previous above mentioned drugs above and so for I have never had a problem with my doctor (My psychiatrist ) prescribing me my Valium and my Restoril (Restoril is a sleeping medication that has allot of Valium and another benzos but I can’t remember the actual name it is) although my psychiatrist is the one that prescribes me my Valium and my Restoril which is a sleeping pill that has diazepam inside of it and I’ve never had a problem the only thing is some methadone clinics do not like people taking any form of benzo’s with the methadone because they are afraid that you’re going to overdose because your respiratory function will be highly impaired which is what is written in books by people that have never had any personal experience regarding tolerance to either of these drugs so in my opinion they have no business trying to tell you/ people like us what he can be prescribing what can and what cannot write people without any real answers or reasons except their afraid to loose their medical license!! All this of being determined by doctors that aren’t in the field of pain management and IGNORANT UNEDUCATED THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO UNDERSTANDING ABOUT PATIENTS ON METHADONE COMPLETELY AND THEIR HIGHLY IGNORANT ABOUT WHAT A PATIENTS TOLERANCE LEVELS ARE WHICH ARE USUALLY MUCH MORE HIGHER “ “THAN SO CALLED NORMAL PEOPLE” taken while you’re on methadone when they’ve never been on METHADONE OR VALIUM OR CLONPIN and they don’t know about how high our tolerance levels can be and and they don’t know that people like us have very high tolerances to all drugs any kind of drug and because of rush Limbaugh being such an asshole and bringing on “this whole prescription drug crisis that they’re saying America is in” Because OxyContin when it was being pushed in the early 2000s by family doctors giving them to their patients for minimal pain and then they get addicted and then they went first doctor shopping and then to the streets and started doing heroin and unfortunately there are millions of people currently in the United States that sadly turned-out addicted just like that from all walks of like and business professionals that is how they became addicted and so now every doctor is afraid to write a prescription for anything period.. if you are in Legal Clinic MAT (Medicated assisted therapy is what MAT is called) it does not come up on which ever state you’re living inside of their prescription drug monitoring program in California it’s called “Curas” methadone prescription that we receive from a metal Clinic IS DEFINITELY NOT INCLUDED INTO SAID REPORTS.. I happen to know this because I was involved in a bad car accident on July 31 2021 and I broke my right wrist and re aggravated an existing lower back sciatica injury and I have pain now radiating down both of my legs which is very severe caused again by this accident a few months ago that was not even my fault) The ambulance took me from the scene of the accident to a hospital emergency room and while I was there they gave me two shots of the Dilaudid and she sent me home with 15 Norco 10 mg tablets and 15 soma tablets 350 mg.. My doctor was/had been on vacation for about 6weeks and a recording on their office telling her patients to go to the Emergency Room which is exactly what I did twice.. of course when this unfortunately this THST happened too me she was gone for 1 3/4 months (My Primary care doctor I mean) so I had to go back to the emergency department where the first time they gave me 30 of the Norco 10 and 30 of 350 mg soma/ two weeks later they gave me the same medicine and quantity without any type of problem.. three weeks later I happened to be in Santa Cruz (I lived in Santa Cruz for 7 years prior to the pandemic and I was forced to move to bum fuck Egypt RIO Vista but i still go to the same clinic in S.C I go twice a month because I get 2 weeks worth of “Take Home” and I was having severe pain so I went to the hospital and that’s when the doctor at that particular place he actually gave me a copy of my “Curas Report” and the only thing that was listed on it was my prescriptions for my Valium and for my Restoril and the 3 scripts I was given at the ER and that punk only gave me #6 Norco 10 and #7 Soma 350 mg and he flat out told me that he thought I was just drug seeking.. I told him yo do a Cat Scan and X-Rays and/ or an MRI so I could prove to him what my exact injuries were/ are and he refused to do any testing that would prove him wrong regarding his opinion that I was “Drug Seeking”! Methadone if your getting it from a legal MAT Methadone Clinic because of the “HIPPA LAWS” do not report it to any agency whatsoever and whichever state your living in because it’s against the law which is another reason why it’s not listed on the states prescription monitoring program(s) anywhere in the entire USA.. My advice to you is whomever your going to (Whatever Doctor) DO NOT VOLUNTEER THAT YOUR ON METHADONE EVEN IF DIRECTLY ASKED BY THE DOCTOR BECAUSE LEGALLY YOU DONT HAVE TO DISCLOSE THAT YOUR IN A LEGAL MAT PROGRAM AND OR THAT YOUR TAKING METHADONE FOR WHATEVER YOUR PERSONAL REASONS ARE FOR NEEDING TO BE ON IT BECAUSE AGAIN YOUR PROTECTED BECAUSE OF “HIPPA” even if a doctor or anyone they are not allowed by law to either confirm and or deny that your a patient because we have confidentiality rights.. PERIOD.. my guys go to a doctor tell the doctor explain your issues with your anxiety PTSD anxiety attacks whatever your particular symptoms are and they’ll most likely ask of you taking anything for this before and that’s when you say whatever you want I thought you said Clonopin or Xanax or something like that I don’t remember honestly what you wanted but it’s the same principle and as long as you don’t say that you’re on methadone they will not be calling you a drug seeker and yada….yada….yada.. however if they do run that report in the state that you live in and it shows that you were getting a myriad of different prescription drugs from a myriad of different doctors that is what makes a person look like a drug seeker because if they’re doing that they are in fact a drug seeker… I do know that in every state only one doctor is allowed to prescribe a patient any type of schedule three or two drug.. I believe Klonopin is schedule three and methadone is scheduled to sew his morphine and Dilaudid those types of things those are all schedule two drugs but Klonopin is not it’s a schedule three drug.. I suggest going to a psychiatrist that’s what I do and it’s not just for the medication it’s for the talk therapy that I receive which is genuinely helping me so that’s all I can say I hope that this helps you in someway and please let us know what your outcome is.. good luck
