If you will read the new laws that went into effect you would not be so misinformed! A Dr. has to hand-write the prescriptions and must be an MD, not a P.A., I am not sure if a D.O. can write them, but Government has dropped the boom on Narcotics!

Yes a DO can write a script, they have their medical licensing as well as their license in osteopathics.

Schedule 2 drugs such as the hydrocodone class can be electronically prescribed and in fact we are pushing for this to be a requirement in the not too distant future. There are way too many of these classes of drugs prescribed on a whim by certified but unqualified physicians ( I can hear the anger rising as I write this). Prescriptions that are handwritten are being forged and unethical pharmacists are filling these drugs for people who are either misusing or diverting them. These people are felons and these misuses of controlled drugs must be stopped.
I am not against the real patients getting the help they need, but if the criminal element is not stopped soon we (you) will find an absence of the drugs on pharmacy shelves.
There is limited scientific evidence for the long term use of opioids for most ailments. Get over it, these will become more restricted over time. Find alternative ways to handle the pain. Stop asking for a "good doctor" to prescribe opioids. The reality is that good doctors often will not. Only the skanky doctors who care little about their patients or the law will continue these ill advised prescribing habits.
Sorry to spoil your day folks. When all this comes to pass you can say you heard it first from TexasMD

Missy, you may not be able to find a Dr because that dosage exceeds the FDA Guidelines. FDA Guidelines stae 120 mg Morphine/Morphine Equivalent Daily. Having been treated by an addiction specialist will also make it hard if not impossible. You need to get a copy of your medical records and read them, especially from the addiction specialist.

It's horrible! I have multiple issues with pain & old injuries. I have been taking some kind of pain meds, when needed for almost 20 years. My pain management dr. Will give Tylenol 3. He suggested I look around , but he doesn't want to risk his license. I'm in West Texas & am tired if the government! Obamacare is in our lives & getting worse. I agree, we need to do something! There are a lot of us folks in pain.

are there any pain management doctors in dallas area that would prescribe hydrododone?

don, you will need to get a copy of your medical records from your previous dr. There is no guarantee that a new dr will prescribe you the same meds that your previous dr did. Each dr has their own way of doing things. Some drs won't give you a prescription on the first visit but the ones that do will ususally start you out on a milder med that what you've been taking. It may take you going to see several drs before you find one that will treat you like or similiar to the way your previous dr did.

If that is a question, than yes, I need a new pain Dr. The two medications that my former pain dr. Would give me , neither were covered by my insurance & very pricey. He said he would no longer write scripts for hydrocodone . I called another dr. In town. Same thing, only writing scripts for new time released hydrocodone . Or procedures for back with steroids. Boom, all of a sudden , nada. So any suggestions would be great. I have current torn rotator cuff, waiting for surgery, 2 knee replacements needed, bulging disk & pinched nerve. I can't get a pain med any longer. I have taken to drinking some beers & Tramadol, which doesn't work alone & I hate alcohol. Only as needed for severe pain. Any suggestions, appreciated.

Marilyn, almost all pain management drs are prescribing extended release pain meds when a patient needs 24/7 pain meds. The immediate release pain meds don't work as well as extended release. And because extended release meds are only taken twice a day there are less pills. The extended release hydrocodone, Zohydro, is very expensive because it came out last year (2014) There are other extended release pain meds that work well and are much cheaper because they come in generic. Some of those meds are MS Contin and Oxycontin.

Hydrocodone combination meds like Norco which contain hydrocodone and acetaminphen or hydrocodone and other meds are immedicate release and were reclassified as a Schedule II med Oct 6, 2014. That means that they can't be called in and you can't get refills written on the prescription. You also must see your dr at least once every 90 days if you're taking them for chronic pain, although most drs have you come in every 30 days. Usually pain managment drs will prescribe Norco, but most won't prescribe it for 24/7 pain management.

Even the va is changing policy on long term pain meds. I've been lucky, lost weight and gotten off the high dose and high strength stuff. Physical therapy helps and now use Tylenol 3 and occasionally a norco. Always watch your daily acetaminophen intake. I supplement meds with ibuprofen and naproxin sodium. Also making trips to pharmacy in Matamoros Mexico for norco supply. Remember the medical establishment in our country doesn't really care about your pain as much as they say. Good luck to all. But until enough of us band together and change something,you should probably find an alternative to hydrocodone, or go to Mexico for your supply.

How much did you pay for he Norco and what strength? Was there a limit, unfortunately I take a lot for life-threatening injuries and have never been questioned about the use from my Doctor, but now he acts like he is scared to death to write them. What really hacks me off is they are punishing everybody on Hydrocodone, especially those of us that buy, get prescribed and all legal the worst! This is what you get when the damn Government sticks their nose where it doesn't belong, they damn sure should be able to get all of the drug addicts and doctor shoppers without trampling over the rights of people that depend on this medication!

Hi! Thanks! I already take Meloxicam everyday, anti inflamatory. I can't take too much more if any ibuprofen. I'm at risk for stomach problems. Scary thing is things will probably just get worse as I get older. I used to drive over to Matamoros all the time. I didn't go for pain meds. I would get a variety of things, skin products I couldn't get in the U.S and inhalers, or antibiotics. Is it legal to bring back Norco? I still drive down to Harlingen a few times a year, but haven been into Mexico for some time. Scary! Maybe if we all vote in Ben Carson, he's a physician & probably understands. Bottom line, I think they need to find a freaking way to tell if a person is having real pain, heat scan, blood test, I don't care. It's just not right. I do know that my mental health is at risk, enduring more pain, is depressing & debilitating. My ability to function in everyday life is minimized causing me to isolate myself. I've started drinking more alcohol, when I haven't had alcohol in 15 years. It kinda takes the edge off, but I hate the taste & I think it's really bad for you. It's legal! Maybe pot is the answer & we know that's not legal. I just think they need to use more common sense, dr.s with their patients. Yes, I know that addicts are the best actors, but, come on. They could try a little harder to weed out the addicts and the elderly & in pain folks. Just my opinion.

Marilyn, if you think that politicians that are also physicians will be more lenient. look up the way the ones that are Senators and Congressman have voted on the topic. They are For tighter restrictions.

I don't know what the legal limits are currently. I went just after the reschedule of hydrocodone last year. Brought back enough to last me a while. Since I don't take them daily I can make a few 90 day scripts of maximum daily amount last. I found an English speaking doctor trained in America. He used to practice here but became fed up with fda,ama, politics and malpractice insurance hassles. I found him through a cab driver. The cab drivers are the best way to find information in Mexico. Just remember to tip well. Or you could find yourself in a bad place. Lol. Best of luck. Please remember that your trying to manage pain not escape it.
