Hello, Jose! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems that you're having.

If you're looking for doctors according to whether or not they will prescribe this specific drug, you'll most likely continue to strike out. When someone contacts a doctor asking for a specific drug, especially one that is a controlled substance, they are taught to view that as being drug seeking behavior and will usually just tell you no, without even letting you get in the door. If you require it for pain management, you'll need to see a pain management specialist and then just discuss your treatment options with them, without asking for a specific drug upfront.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

If your personal reasons have to do with drug addiction, then a clinic will be your only option. A regular doctor is not allowed to prescribe it for that under the current treatment laws. For addiction treatment or maintenance, it can only be prescribed in a clinical setting by those that have been specially trained in its use for such.

As to the Percocet, the 325mgs just denotes the amount of Acetaminophen in it, not the amount of Oxycodone and, either way, it is highly unlikely that it will do much to help with severe Methadone withdrawals and I can't speak for how much it will work for pain, without knowing the amount of Oxycodone in it. Can you please post back with this information? Thank you!

Is there anything else I can help with?
