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?

I am looking for a pain management clinic that will prescribe Methadone in the Philadelphia area, Allentown area, Harrisburg area, or Lancaster area or in towns in other states that are about 2 hrs plus or minus from Philadelphia. I've been on Methadone since 2005 for chronic severe pain. I just moved back to PA from Phoenix and it seems that the Philadelphia area is a very difficult area to find pain management clinics that will prescribe narcotics. I have degenerative disc disease in my cervical spine and have had since 1991 or before. Doctors tried so many different things - physical therapy, injections, massage, anti-inflammatory drugs and nothing relieved the pain. I was on Suboxone for 3 years for pain management, but when I moved to AZ most doctors had not even heard of it then let alone prescribed it. Sometime innn early 2012 the pain management dr I was seeing inn Phoenix informed me they have stopped prescribing it for pain management which is a real shame. Methadone works great - to the point where the pain is minimal at best. The only reason I wouldn't want to go back on it is the horrific withdrawal. And, for the counselor who wished all of us went through withdrawal - wow - I hope someone finds out about your views of people being on narcotics for chronic pain and fires you. What you said is cruel, inhumane and really ignorant.

I am a resident in Portsmouth Virginia,I also attend the methadone clinic, for treatment ,I've been on it for several years , if I can find a doctor, it would be greatly appreciated, because it's a lot of hassle going to the clinic,
where as, if you get it from a
doctor, you only have to go once, every 3 months, it's also a lot cheaper, if you could help me to find a doctor that prescribes it would truly be a blessing.

Executioner- if you or someone can help me find a doctor to perscribe methodone/ Ativan in Dallas area i would truly be grateful. I had a failed artificial disc implant surgery and have pain 20 hours a day. xxxxxx {edited for privacy}. I don't know why I can't just write contact address on this site;( it's legitimate people just trying to help each other). Im taking morphine related meds now but methodone isn't as harmful to my body and is cheaper and helps more. I don't understand why methodone has such a weird stigma about it, anyone who has taken all the stronger morphine related pain meds knows methodone is a more responsible choice if you don't want to get physically or mentally dependent. Please reply someone and I will also help anyone on here I can in Dallas area.

Does anyone know of a different site that I can go to to write my information so someone can write or tell me how to get help with finding treatment? There's no reason to use this site for me much longer since they won't publish contact info.

BTW. I don't know if this is the Truth or not but the head nurse at my clinic, who is very very knowledgeable about this type of thing. He's worked as an RN dispensing Methadone for like 35 years. He says in this state (Pennsylvania) He told me that by law in this state a physician isn't allowed to prescibe more than 20MG's per day of methadone. If you want to take more you have to get it from a clinic. Although I know people that get 120 MG's or 3 40 mg wafers prescribed to them a day from there family physician. He says although some, not many but some will do that even though there really not supposed to. Is this true? I'm just going by the word that a long time nurse at my clinic told me. I'll google it and see if I can't find out for sure. I think a Pain Management Clinc or a Treatmen Clinic can both go over the 20 mgs but you have to earn the privileges to get a weeks worth at a time and just go 4 times a month.It's a Pain but I've been through worse. The place is open EVERY DAY. Even christmas. It used to be closed Sundays a holidays. EVERYONE got a take home bottle for Sunday, and alot of holidays fall on Monday's so you'd sometimes get 2 take home bottles. about 3 years ago that changed big time. Now they are open every single day. Luckily though I had earned my 1 day a week take homes before the open 7 days a week law went into effect.
