We all need to help each other on this journey to stay clean. No need to be on here to do what we did during our worst days. Which begging for advice or give me of pp! You be amazed on how that pain goes away when your clean and sober!!! I had no idea and j wished I would of did it sooner. My liver is damaged due too all that poison I took. I'm a mother of three and want to be here long time. Sober is the only way to do that plus your happy!!! I did 3 surgeries major ones at that without one pp!!!! I refused all the morphine etc. it's not easy but you can do it!! It's done all the time. Whining for your meds and what to do is for the birds. Move on. No one supports that. But!!! If you decide to play smart and want to change that pain and stress and worry. We all can guide you there.

I did already find a new dr!!! They were really great. They said that they have a lot of patience on hip even though they r cash only.. Mdwise finally told me ( after-no exaggerating- 20 phone calls to them) that I can be reimbursed for an out of network dr as long as my primary writes a referral. So I have to work on that but the dr said they can take me anyways and I told them about what happened at my old dr and they understood.. I could have found copies of my gas slip somehow yes but honestly that was kind of my last straw with them. They really don't take the time with their patients that I need right now and I had told them I was going to be gone ahead of time but they don't always listen. plus the new place I found is an hour closer to home. So I'm feeling good about it

It is important to note that a dr observing an allergic reaction like swelling of the throat and tounge is almost always what is required in order to be found allergic to naloxone.

Dr Kathleen Whaley is accepting patients, or was when I called last week and got in right away! No wait and no list! I made a $65 deposit and they let me make my appt over the phone! Dr Segal's office told me when I called that it would be 2 weeks to get in and I was fine with that but you have to call every week to let them know u r still interested and so when I did she told me that it was gonna be a month now, and I was okay with that too! Then I called the next week and she said it would be 2 months and so I called the 3rd and final week and she said it would be about 3-4 months now! How in the hell is that possible???!! I asked carol, the receptionist, and she said she was sorry that she over estimated on how long it would be! So that's why I said forget going there and I am going to dr kathleen whaley!! I'm excited for my upcoming appt this week!! I suggest everyone try calling her office! I was going to Indiana health group but dr herod got s*** canned or quit, don't know which one was the truth! So that left 80 patients out on their ass to find a dr! But they did supply us with a script for December and for January but that's it. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful they did that but at the same time, it wasn't our fault that they s*** canned her or quit and the medical director there that was writing our scripts could have very well seen us and treated us cause he was able to write the scripts and sign them and you have to have a special license to do that! So obviously they have the right credentials to treat addiction patients! But oh well! Dr whaley is cheaper and better than Indiana health group! I suggest everyone to dr whaley in fishers, indiana!!

I have no idea on where to tell you to go cause Cincinnati is a drive, for sure! Now unless you want to drive about 20 minutes north of Indianapolis then you can call dr whaleys office and see if they are still accepting new patients or not. I know they were when I called 3 weeks ago and I have an appt coming up this week and they do give some subutex there cause that's why I'm going there. My tongue and throat swell up and my previous Drs office seen it when they tried putting me on it so she immediately switched me and told me I was allergic to the naloxone in suboxone! But I have known a lot of people that were on methadone that had a HARD time getting switched over to subutex tho! I'm not saying it's impossible and not saying I agree with it, I'm just telling you the expieriences they had with getting switched to subutex. I hope you don't have any problem finding a dr to switch you from methadone to subutex! But you just have to be upfront and Honest with them and tell them you have tried subutex on the street and it takes away the agitation and the headaches! Are there not a lot of places to get subutex in Cincinnati or something? I would think there would be but I could be wrong. The Drs that give subutex are getting far and few between here. The DEA are cracking down on Drs who prescribe it and I don't know why they are doing it to the Drs that are actually having the patient come in every single month, do drug panels every single month and doing therapy or some kind of class at least once a month! I feel like they should leave those Drs alone because they are actually trying to help patients and not just get a kick back off the money from pharmaceutical companies! My last dr was in it for the heart of the work, she actually cared about the patients and loved helping people, but she still either got s*** canned or quit.... Nobody really knows the truth about her that went to the practice...I heard she got s*** canned cause she was too nice and people were walking all over her and telling her they lost their scripts or they got stolen and s*** and she kept replacing them for everyone. I'm not saying it doesn't happen and people don't lose their medicine and that is doesn't get stolen, but come on now.... Who in their right mind LOSES their subutex?! I have mine on me at all times just for the simple fact that I can't trust anyone to just leave it at my house because all it takes is one wrong person finding out you have it and they are gonna break in your house and steal it from you when you aren't home! But I wish you good luck and just run a Google search on dr Kathleen Whaley and call her and see if they are still accepting people or not, that is if you want to drive 20 mins north of Indianapolis to the dr. At first they said she will more than likely bring me back in 2 weeks (even tho i have just been on the subutex due to my dr leaving the practice) just to make sure I am tolerating my medicine well and then I will be monthly. And it's a $65 deposit and then $205 due at the first visit when I first go and then every monthly visit after that is $120 a month, which is pretty cheap around here! I just got lucky and called at the right time cause usually around here if a dr gives subutex then you aren't gonna get in unless they are calling you due to being on a LIST!!! So I just got really lucky with this dr!! But good luck tho! If you have any questions you can just reply and I will definitely write back to you! Have a good weekend!!

BL my doctor takes Medicaid but sense he is at that max number their allowed too. I'm having to pay for it and honestly I don't mind. Insurance covers the script so I have no problem contributed to my health needs. I just know they will not reimburse you for it either. I had done my homework and talked with them about it. So I was just sharing what I was told. I am here giving my support or help I can and maybe get that in return. This isn't a something to get hyped about nor talk down to anyone. Not sure your intentions here responding but really kinda comes off little left. But anyway I was wanting to ask the Brit girl about Momodu. I am currently going there I yet have had issue like yours. I am worried though cause I have seen few things that are huge concern. I'm not sure if im correct but seems to me something is going on there and it's strange. They moved the entire location to the city without contacting any patients strange to me.

Ya well I am being informative. I keep seeing the same, people asking the same thing about Drs. and I'm just saying if they read back thro the threads and do their homework, regardless of who posted the info, they can find a Dr. And then I see the same people (or maybe their using someones else name) say that they cant afford the visits. I also just saying that if someone has a high enough addiction, and are spending alot on "the streets" or wherever, and they used that $ to see a Drs, they might find out that it's actually cheaper to see a Dr. I think that is informative. I'm not criticising anyone. I'm speaking from my own experience! to help people. Sorry u took it offensive.

So can you pay cash to your doctor if you have medicaid and get your prescription paid for by the insurance my doctors office is saying I can't pay cash for the appt if I have medicaid bc then I don't need medicaid if I do but my payment is only 120

Erica, if you have Medicaid you can pay cash to a dr BUT it can't be a dr that takes Medicaid. Medicaid Laws prevent drs that accept Medicaid from accepting cash from their Medicaid Patients for the same services that Medicaid pays for. Medicaid should pay for your prescription, as long as the prescription would be paid for if you saw a Medicaid dr.

Numberjohnny5, maybe you shouldn't be on a "forum", where everyone is going to have an opinion and contribute their experience to this site. Just because it doesn't help you, didn't mean that persons story won't help someone else. Everyone on here is or has dealt with this evil struggle (whether the addict or a family or friend). Quit being so harsh and just skip over what didn't apply to you. God bless you!

Johnny, I was and am aware that it was not directed to me. I just think it was harsh to tell someone they don't know what they're talking about, just cause you don't agree with what was said. They even said that they know it won't work for everyone, so shes not saying you're not normal if you can't do her plan. She just was saying that you have to find some strength from somewhere and not expect a strip or a pill to resolve everything about your addiction. Anyways, I'm responding nicely now, so I hope you don't have some smart a$$ comeback, because I don't do good with that. Just try to be a little more encouraging. Most people are in a fragile state and need that mustard seed of hope. Maybe you could be the one to give that to someone.... Have a blessed day!

Dr. Anthony Mimms 317-781-0067. He does accept medicaid thank god but you would have to call to see if he has any openings on his medicaid panel. I just started seeing Dr. Mimms at the beginning of June 2016 but that is when his medicaid panel opened back up, I scheduled my first appt in December of 2015 for June 2016. He's the best Dr I've ever been to!! He's layer back just don't lie to him or his staff they will discharge you from his practice. He can prescribe Suboxone, my first visit he started my on 2 8mg film and the next month he raised it to 3 8mg film with 2 refills so I only have to be seen by him every 3 months.

So, is Dr.Mimms a pain doctor? Or for addiction? I tried to call there couldn't get through, it beeped so I left a message, am I doing something wrong? I wanted to speak with someone, very frustrating!

I would tread very carefully you mentioned you have had addictions but Dr mimms is treating your pain with Suboxone it is prescribed to people that have legitimate pain issues that are not candidates for other narcotics because we'll in layman's terms wake our demon also you are very lucky that you are getting 8/2 3 times per day the dea has made some changes in prescribing Suboxone 90 % of Dr's will not prescribe more than 2 a day trust me when I tell you that he will think you are drug seeking also if you loose him you will never get 3 a day from any other Dr consider yourself lucky and ask him about injections as far as your headaches go ask him to switch you to subtex which is the narcotic part of Suboxone a lot of people have trouble with the naloxone

Any of these docs that take HIP that do not care about marijuana coming up in a drug panel? I recently moved here from Colorado to take care of my elderly mother who has no other family and i can't ask her to move away from the friends she does have. I have been on sub for 2 years for addiction therapy plus chronic pain issues and was also prescribed marijuana for anxiety, appetite stimulation, pain relief, and complications due to hepatitis c. I do not smoke it, nor do i abuse it, but there is no way for a doctor to test whether or not you are abusing. My first doctor acted like he was fine with it until 3 months ago, then he changed his tune. I understand that if insurance covers the visits that they expect certain things and i understand that marijuana is not legal here. So i suppose im asking if a doc that takes cash out of pocket for the appointment, but insurance will cover the meds, would be any more lax about marijuana? I dont use it everyday, just when i need an appetite stimulant, when im having panic attacks, or when my pain levels are high from trying to work. If anyone sees this as not taking my recovery seriously, i understand and respect your perspective, but please understand and respect mine. This medicine keeps me from having to be prescribed benzos or other antidepressant medications that people like myself can become dependent on for my current medical issues. My panic attacks were never worse than when i was on that stuff. I wish i could go back to colorado, but i will not abandoned my mother when she has no one to take care of her, nor the means to bring someone else in to do it, with her current illness. If anyone can help, i would be very grateful! If not and you just want to tell me about myself, please just simply do not respond. I am not here to stir things up or cause drama on the internet. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
