Ive been using Methadone for chronic pain for over 7 years. I went through the full gambit of Opioid medication and always got to the point of abuse to function. After 11 surgeries and 2 full knee replacements I'm at the end of my rope. The cost for trying to feel like moving every day has become too expensive. I need to find an alternative. If I say things like this to a M.D.. he'd make me see a PHD and that would be on going and more expensive. Please help me find an alternative.

Hello, Bill! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're in pain.

However, due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, you will need to see a specialist to have such medications prescribed. A PCP is no longer allowed to prescribe them on a long-term ongoing basis.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

What is your general location? That might enable someone to recommend a good doctor in your area.
