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

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

Hi CShel
Did you have any luck with CPS?
My Dr has had me on a pain Rx for about 3-4 years for chronic hip and knee pain.
After moving into a 2 story house this past year the pain has only gotten so much worse.
My dr wants me to see a pain management

I also was a patient of CC I went to CPS done okay in Missouri went to O'Fallon seen Candice cut me down the first time I seen her hard to stay on our program so I run short then they want to put a pain pump in me now they won't write my medicine no more so be careful with that place if you're getting any Med you're lucky

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 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.

Re: JD (# 4)

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

Hi, Stacey! How are you?

There are actually a couple of problems that you're going to run into.

The first will be the fact that you're a cash patient. Many doctors will not prescribe controlled substances on a long-term basis for uninsured patients, because that makes it much easier for someone to game the system by doctor and pharmacy hopping…and if you do find a doctor to write for something, then your next difficulty will be finding a pharmacy to fill it.

The second issue is wanting Methadone, since it is a very dangerous and addictive medication, most doctors will not prescribe it for pain.

Do you have a doctor that you currently see regularly?

If so, they are most likely going to be your best bet for getting the help you need.
