I have been taking Methadone for pain management going on 6 years. I live outside of Wisconsin Dells, Wi.
My current prescribing doctor is retiring. Does anyone know of a doctor in Madison or surrounding areas who prescribes Methadone?
Thank you

Tribe of the Lion:

My G.P. had me currently taking 30mg Oxycodone i.r. due to spinal fusion surgeries that horribly went wrong and left me with more pain than I had before hand. My G.P. was prescribing 30 mg i.r. every 4 hours (6 per day) for the past 7 years. When I went to my February appointment he told me that because of new laws he can no longer prescribe my medication any longer and that in March he would start cutting me down by 1 30mg tablet every 2 Weeks. So far it hasn't been that bad taking 5 a day but when I see him next he is going to cut me down to 4 per day for the next 2 weeks and then when I get to 90mg he wants to put me on Methadone. Im really worried about the cut to 4 per day but Im ok with it and I will just have to see how it goes. I told my Dr that Im against taking Methadone & I feel like Im being forced to take it.. his reply was his hands are tied because of the new CDC Guidelines. This man has been my G.P
for over 23 years and knows all of my medical history and knows my chronic pain is legitimate... I just can't believe he is doing this to me. I had made an appointment at a different APM location and I did not even get to see who I scheduled my appointment with but rather a N.P. who was very uncaring and rude. This G.P. offered me the same cut down cutting me from 6 a day down to 4 a day right of the bat. I told him I thought that was cutting it too fast too soon and left. My question for you is, since you have been seeing Dr. Scarlett for so many years and know his bed side manner do you think that once Im cut down to 4 a day and explained my entire situation to him that would he consider taking me on as a patient and continue with the 4 a day? I have all my medical & surgery reports as well as all my x-rays & mri's. I have never failed a drug panel or level evaluation or asked for an increase or an early refill. I see he has an office in West Bend as well and although it would be a 26 mile drive for me Im willing to do it to have a legitimate & reliable Dr. The other pain management clinics here that accept my insurance are all on the CDC bandwagon and wont prescribe oxycodone at all. The only place Ive found so far that would be a last resort only takes Cash payment & No Insurance. And that sounds very shady to me and not reliable. If you could please respond to my post I would really appreciate it. Thank You.

Hello,

I cannot tell you For Sure that Yes, Dr. Scarlett will do that. If I told you that I could, I'd be lying. But what I Can tell you is that he is the kindest, most compassionate doctor that I have ever met, esp as a Pain Management Dr. And so is his Assistant Christa.

So my suggestion is this...Make an appointment with him. It wouldn't hurt you to in any way. And I am pretty sure that he will keep you on the kind of pain medication that you are taking now. So if I were you, I'd make it a point to see him. It surely would not Hurt anything.

Dr Hassan use to be good. I went through the same thing drawing blood, swabbing my mouth! Then cutting my meds. They accused me of seeing a different doctor! Then they realized it was a doctor from their own practice, who married and had a name change. They have totally lost it! Terrible building. They treat people like s***!

I know it's the DEA cause of a**holes overdosing on illicit drugs they buy on the street, but we have to pay for their abuse.

That is exactly what I was told. I am frustrated of what I'm going to do. I can't have any more procedures and was told the spinal cord stimulator was the last resort for me. Dam the government

Ya well the DEA I read are not the bad people, but that may be wrong. It's the people who overdose on street drugs not the people who really need it. Soon that's gonna be the only way to get pain relief.

It's both the DEA and these pieces of crap junkies who are making pain patients hurt even Worse!! It's the DEA'S fault because by doing what they're doing, they're putting the "Drug Seeking Junkie" label on everyone's back who suffers from pain everyday!!

The thing is this...The DEA does not care about the "Everyday Joe" who lives down the street who overdoses and dies from it!! And if it was just them, we would not Hear a Word about New Laws this and New Sanctions that...Regarding pain medication!!

But it's the deaths of these pieces of crap spoiled brats and ******s, Hollywood stars and music stars, and popular Political people that, soon as one of them blows too much money and gets any type of pain meds their rich asses can buy.. Such as Michael Jackson, George Michael's, and others...And they overdose...

All of a sudden the DEA gets blamed, and instead of standing up for themselves and real pain sufferers, and saying to these dead stars' families, "Hey, look, your spoiled rich-living dead star family member is the Only one to blame for his or her death! No One Else!!"

Instead of that, they cower down like little panzy panty waist Wusses...And they place all the blame on the rest of the pain suffering world!! What a bunch of pathetic cowards the DEA are!!

And I can't really blame the doctors, except those that are so money hungry that they cater to the rich, and not caring that if something happens, how it might affect the rest of the pain sufferers.

Those doctors are even bigger cowards than the DEA. But the Good doctors, the ones that are merely just trying to help pain patients lead productive pain-controlled lives...

They have worked Hard for their license!! I don't blame them for not wanting to lose their license...And for really wanting to protect themselves by weeding out pain patients that, despite their pain, are really just trying to work and earn a living...from those patients that Can work but choose to just sit at home day in and day out, and gobbling down pill after pill!

These doctors...They're not Stupid...They can look at a person and tell one that's really trying but are suffering and in need of pain help...from those that are really just coming for their monthly "fix!" Naw Sirs...These pain doctors are Not Stupid!!

Hello Tribe of the Lion. You give me inspiration and hope. I found a nice who give meds out but even on medicare and medicaid they charge $70 over and $150 if you don't have anthem. I had to change my HMO which means I'll either have to pay $150 or find a new Dr right now I can't afford to stay. I'm wondering is Dr. Scarlet still working out for you?

Thank you ! I agree and you speak the truth and realty. I'm going to make an appt. With Dr . Scarlet. I believe Jesus and my heavenly angels brought me to you. I want to run this by you. This was my 3 1/2 yes with advanced pain management. Dr. Bercauno was my Dr. Although I only seen her for the surgical procedures and injections. She was very rough. I only seen her one time upon the consultation after that I only seen her pa and the pa made all decisions for the entire 3 1/2 yrs . Everything was going fine and Dr.Bercauno hurt me really bad during a procedure, a lasting permanent injury. Er Dr's thought she broke my coller, shoulder and a cervicle disk. Mind you it was a cervicle blocker. After that point her pa did testing, 4 wrong mri's and they tried to get me to leave, telling me they would feel more comfortable and it would be better for all of us if I was cared for by a different pain clinic. I didn't know of any any I didn't know where to go and for so long the pa had told me horror stories about places that were out there so I really wanted to go but didn't. My primary ordered a tripiest MRI it showed the injuries and also showed irregular bone marrow in which among other serious conditions bone pain was one of them. This is the part that im asking for your opinion and advice if you have any to offer. At the following appt after the MRI they had me see the pa she explained they found cancer and seen the injuries and said it'd being advised to leave them. Well I should of but I still didn't know where to go and had gone to a freodert pain dr who said I needed narcotics obviously for my conditions and that froedert doesn't allow what I needed they try to ween to ween as much as possible. So I went back to APM they had me see a different APM pa who gave me a list of of clinics and actually cut my morphine and percacet in half ! I told she was a cold person and she said no one's going to give you narcotics now. I requested my records and she put that I argued for more meds! Well my primary advised to go to a different clinic and raised my meds it was only a one time script because they don't allow froedert Dr's to give narcotics (primaries). That's when I found dr David stein. I can't afford $150 visits I don't even know how to come up with it for may 2nd med refills. So being all that said do you think the West bend APM with Dr. Scarlet will hold that against me? That is exactly what happened I didn't argue I just told her she was a cold person. Among other bad conditions I have a major brain injury and the pain is out of this world. I want to go to someone that's referred to me by someone like you that trust their pain dr and the dr gives appropriate amts. Not lower than the pain level although I understand nothing can touch the pinch brain nerved to make the pain go away or make it comfortable allow it can be masked and also to mask the bone pain and broken vertebrates and neurapathy and the other stuff. I appreciate any help I can get at a level that allows me to be out of insane misery and crying that constricts the arteries and capillaries that makes it worse so we try to keep a level that I can walk , talk, and sleep at least a few hrs before waking screaming in pain. I don't really care who I see as long as they don't give me to much , its for life so even tho I'm not masking as much as can be I don't want to run out of levels. Your body, pain receptors make them stop working needing increases and I have to watch even tho I would love a break even for a little while I can't. Although the dr who did the last surgery the dr was kind enough to give me enough to last afterwards 5-7 mins that gave my hesd a rest from the raw , knife like, should be bleeding feeling, the humming, the hundred pound pressure and the God awful pain a small break. There was silence and I could hear when people talked without hearing the ringing and humming. It came back in quick and ofcouse I could still feel it in the back ground but it was the first break in 9 years. I just want someone who can make me a little comfortable. Sorry for rambling but I thought knowing about it can better help you to give me your opinion and advice and who ever reads this. I can't thank you enough.

I am also so blessed to hear of Dr. Scarlet. I plan to make an appt. In the event for some reason you need to seek a different Dr. Which I pray he does work out, I do recommend Dr. Stein out of Milwaukee. The only reason I'm leaving is because I can't afford the office visit's even with insurance. Let's pray we find what were looking for in Dr. Scarlet because he sounds like the best Dr I've heard of in a very long time. There's a big difference between going to a Dr that just writes a script and a Dr who cares and is compassionate and understands which allows for good trusted relationship. Good luck

Can i get more information about Dr Stein? Does he make you drop every month? Does anyone know if he takes all insurance? Sorry i know APM seems to be everyone's hero but Christa is a b*****, she is rude and condescending. I have been seeing them for close to 7 years. I do love Scarlett but it's impossible to get an appointment with him unless you're getting a shot.
