Doctors Willing To Prescribe Methadone For Pain Management In St Louis (Page 2)

I have Chronic IBS and acute Chrons disease. I have been taking Vicodin to help control the bouts of diarrhea and severe abdominal pain. My concern is all that Tylenol that comes with Vicodin is damaging my liver, thus more problems. I have tried methadone and it works GREAT and 40mg lasts all day instead of a pill every 4 hrs. I need a doctor in or around the St. Louis area that can and will prescribe methadone for pain management. I have no insurance, preferably a doctor who will accept cash patients that is not to costly. Who and where are they in this area? Thank You Anyone

Don't think so, my Dr tried to switch me to morphine xr's (w/ perk 40 ir's for break through) not nearly as effective as the methadone was!! Then he gave me a small amount "to last until a new provider took over". Needless to say, I'm still trying to find a Dr to help me!!! Over 8 months ago!!! If anyone knows a pain doc who prescribes methadone- please let me know where & who they are!!! Wi/MI areas.

I saw the same doctor most of you all did CC in St. Louis and I'm getting so depressed because I saw Dr. C for years and he kept my ain under control and the Dr. he sent me to has me down to almost nothing and I was at a dose that controlled my pain. I have discs in my back that are rubbing bone on bone and my knee needs replaced and I have severe stomach pain due to something similar to Crohns that leaves me in pain 24 house a day. I do not have insurance yet either, I'm fighting for disability right now but it hasn't come thru yet.
I can't keep on living in this pain, can someone please recommend a doctor that will write any type of pain meds, I was on oxycodone with Dr. C and long acting MS contin every 12 hours but methadone never helped my pain much so I'm not wanting that. But I would just like to find a caring doctor that listens and isn't afraid to help chronic pain patients and disabled patients that are suffering daily. I'm literally only sleeping 2-3 hours a night, the pain wakes me. And the pain has started depressing me to no end. Thank you to anyone that is listening. I appreciate any help from anyone else suffering.

I was with Dr. CC as well and it killed me when he left to go to Cali. He gave me my life back. I was able to work and do the things I needed to do to take care of my home and family. Then went to CPS Ofallon. I had the same problem. They wanted to take me off my meds and put in a pain pump. I don't have insurance and couldn't afford to do that so now I have to find a new pain management md. Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry to inform you but norco has 325mg Tylenol in EVERY single pill regardless if it is 5mg, 7.5mg or 10 mg! They do make 5mg, 10mg, 15mg, 30mg oxycodone that do not have Tylenol along with the ones that do have Tylenol.

Dr waggoner daniel.waggoner on tesson ferry in St.L believes in giving methadone for pain management hes a neurologist and sleep medicine doctor hes great I was embarrassed about my drug history relapsed and ended up getting kicked to the curb but he is great and usually very understanding. I agree there is a huge difference in the tablet methadone compared.to the liquid

Dear Mark, to be clear are you saying that the liquid DID control your pain all day after taking the pills ?? I am a 10 year pain Managent patient relocating to Springfield Mo I am in urgent need of advice! I am scared to death of withdrawals & of the endometriosis that put me here in the first place. I do not have problems with addiction but I am dependent- I just want my quality of life but I am afraid if I go to a clinic that I will never be seen by pain management again. Thank you for any help.

I've been on 80 mg for 20 yrs and the office cut me off that. Sad to say.
