Dr. Who Can Prescribe Methadone (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

I have just moved to Harrisburg, PA. I found a pain management clinic who will prescribe my methadone (I have been taking Methadone for pain management for 5-6 years), however they have asked that I find another doctor. I was told by pain management clinic that I am the only patient they prescribe methadone for. Does anyone know of a doctor in the Harrisburg, PA area that prescribes methadone for pain management?

You seem like a lonely pos. Put our lives side by side and the only difference is I have my dose and happiness while you have nothing but time to pick on ppl with mental illness. I feel sorry for ppl as ignorant as you that have no clue what addiction really is, but think they're educated enough to have an opinion???? May God bless you.

Who made you God and told you to pass judgement on something you do not know about? I am so glad you are not in a position where you might not need it to live a life without chronic pain. And as far as addiction, it has been proven to help many whose brains have been made to not function normally without opiate replacement. You need to quit thinking you are better than others, you are not and you have no right to speak on others lives you know nothing about.

I moved here seven years ago and even though the Dr. I had in Ohio warned me that,because of my appearance (I'm an artist and cosmetology. Student with fichus blond and black pin up girl hair),I would have a hard time finding a doctor who would "understandme.
Boy was he right! I even bleach my hair all blond took on a conservative attire and was still treated like a piece of scum,drug seeker who didn't have any issues the Dr s grandmother dealt with on a daily basis and with only ibuprofen. And Celexa or similar type med. It was very disheartening and humiliating. I've been told that many people have to move out of Pa in order to get medication that they've(I) have been on for over 15 years.

My family doctor put me through the series of Vicodin, Oxycontin, pervade even morphine,though I warned him that it would only cause more trouble than I already had.andas predicted,iI ended up at Bowling Green rehab in order to be accepted in the "junkie clinic.
That's another entire mess, as they give out questionable grade liquid methadone that seems to change strength every dose. It took me 2 more years to get my split dose and I'm at over twice the amount of dose I was taking in wafers. Mind you,I have 6 take home doses (compared to my monthly script in Ohio), but they won't and can't do anything to deal with treating the underlying issues of my pain management other than dosing me.

I've been willing to try everything the doctors have asked of me,including 20+ injections and an epidural along with my meds and have the records to prove it. I've plenty more to add to this,if someone could help me get to a Dr that would take me on.I actually enjoyed traction, lol, but have been offered none of that here. If there's a Dr or kindred spirit that can help please direct me in right direction. I'm pleading for help. I go to school,create jewelry and art and would like to lead a productive life without standing in the clinic and getting UA's which have been clean,btw

"FOR A DOCTOR DECIDING NOT TO TREAT YOU BECAUSE OF CONDITION IS ACTUALLY MORALLY THROUGH DOCTORS CREED AND CRIMINALLY WRONG"

Wrong on both accounts. A doctor doesn't have to write an extremely addictive and dangerous drug if he or she doesn't want to or have the license to treat addiction. Methadone is one of the worse drugs ever invented. It gets in your bones like no other opiate and, God forbid, there's ever a zombie apocalypse, it'll be the Methadone users who knock over every clinic for drugs to stop the awful pain of withdrawal. I treat addiction with Suboxone and it's the Methadone users who have the hardest time staying clean of anybody even if you prolong the Suboxone taper by multiple months.

Agree with DEA sucks post. I also live in Florida and fortunate I no longer need pain management. When I did go several years ago, I was given oxycodone and methadone to use only at night. The methadone was much more affordable and very effective for pain. Trouble is, from what I've been told many doctors are under tremendous scrutiny when it comes to prescribing pain medication.

I have a friend who has numerous medical problems. She had been going to a neurologist for years and relapsed. After being warned, he had to discharge her. She ended up at a pain management clinic and really wanted methadone because it helped her MS better than oxycodone. The doctors had told her that they can no longer prescribe anything stronger than 10 mg tablets. So if you're used to getting 80-100 mg at the methadone clinic, it's very hard finding a doctor who can prescribe a comparable dose. Very much like PGH's post, even if you do find a doctor that will help, your next challenge is finding a pharmacy that stocks methadone. Best off going to a mom & pop pharmacy because I could never find a Walgreens or CVS that carried them and this was 8 years ago.
Cut to the chase, if anyone is aware of doctors who will prescribe methadone in the Ft Lauderdale/Hollywood area please post his name. Thanks for your help!
