Hello, Kevin! How are you?

Both Suboxone and Methadone require special training to be prescribed for drug addiction.

For pain, however, technically any doctor can prescribe them. The issue, though, is that due to the new directives from the DEA, most will not prescribe them, since they both tend to be addictive.

The FDA classifies these medications as narcotic analgesics, so they have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Additionally, if you have previously gone to a Methadone clinic, even if it was for pain, that is noted in your records, so most doctor's are going to be reluctant to prescribe anything, or to raise your dose, since an addiction clinic is what is listed in your medical records.

Does anyone have any advice or ideas that might help?
