Names Of Doctors Who Easily Prescribe Anxiety And Pain Medications New Jersey (Top voted first)

Updated

I live in central new jersey, and lost my dr. of 10 years. I did 5 years in physical therapy for some issues. I am now forced to leave my dr. and desperately need another immediately. I need him/her to prescribe my xanax and restart my pain pills. I will be out of xanax in a week. Please help me find a doctor who will easily prescribe these medications.

doctors are so afraid to prescribe. We need to get together as sick people and sign petitions and get them to our congressmen bc we are being punished by new laws that were put in effect bc of the actions of some crooked doctors and addicts. The doctors are just protecting themselves but cant help us unless we stand up for them and the restrictions the govt keeps putting on them. My pain dr. just explained this to me. He says change starts with us, the sick people. Instead of complaining we really need to rally together to fight this crap. I am not sure how to begin though to do this and too sick to sit and research it. Is anyyone out there educated that can help us get something going through petitions to stop penalizing legitimate doctors and sick patients. Because in the end, that is what the government is doing.

Hi Dr. Joey, even though you are the brother of the woman and you said you are a doctor. No Doctor is going to call you in capacity of a doctor and scripts that you suggest. If you have privileged at the hospital where your sister was. Yes, they would talk to you once your sister sign a release that could. The communication would be tailored around your sister and you will be treated as a visitor. Like I said, if you have no affiliation with the hospital. No doctor would order controlled substance with out seeing you an verify that you are who you say you are. Confidentiality is still the staple of the health care industry. Also, you stated that you are a doctor ( Chief of psychiatry), and pharmacology. I am wondering why didn't you write your sister a script of the medication you both apparently feel works
better. One of the biggest rule in prescribing pain medication, is the doctor should prescribe the lowest dose and then they can titrate it up as needed. I am puzzled about is why would a doctor be on this board. Another thing is, some of these people are sharing their pain and frustration. Can't you write a script for them. You said you are Chief of psychiatry and a professor of pharmacology, why can't you do your assessment then give a write script. The ultimate goal is to help manage the pain and ween them off it. Long term use of many of these opiates and benzodiazepine can mess up your kidneys. Also, they can affect your cognitive function.

Hi Betty-haven't you figured it out yet? It's about money ,money, and more money. When I got out of the physical therapy place, I was amazed my friends and even total strangers were asking what I was taking, and offering vast amounts of money to buy them. A woman told me she pays her rent and utility bills on what she makes. This is not a young kid. She is a grandmother. Naturally, if the Doctor isn't hooked himself (and that is common) if he prescribes his patients what they want, his practice will prosper). So after all that babbling where does that leave us? Up s***s creek.I don't know the answer. I only know that in my quest to find the help I need, I pray there is a medium ground that would help. Thanks Betty, I have an appointment in a couple weeks, wish me luck.

I had just realized that general and internal medicine doctors are less likely to prescribe what we need. It is the specialists that we need to utilize. Now, I am talking about those of us who genuinely need these medicines. So, in response to Vernon, I think you have a point. Right now, my PCP is in the process of trying to withdraw me a small amount each month. Now really, I don't know about anyone else, but anyone who is trying to self withdraw has got a long rough way to go. (scenario-Feeling crappy,only supposed to take one, take one, still feel crappy, pace around, watch tv, yes, even call someone STILL FEEL CRAPPY-TAKE THE DAMNED PILL!!!!! FEEL BETTER. Uh oh. Don't have enough for the week. Still have physical pain and a mental disorder. Why did they create these pills if not for people who need them? It's very hard to know where to draw the line. But meanwhile, I have a PCP, who after my being on these meds for over 15 years,(5 in physical therapy)has decided to take me off because she's afraid of the FDA. Well, at least I vented.Peace to all

Hi bettyboop (& everyone) I've already written letters to my legislators who represent my District & also to the Congress & to Pres. O'Bama. Finally,this topic has come to the surface on the Internet, which is a good thing. I just searched "chronic pain patients, rights" or something close to that. There's multiple sites that come up. There's even one where you can just type an email, put in your zip code, and it will auto tell you who your representatives are & email them your petition letter & it's free. There is a option to have your email printed out, & hand delivered for a $3.00 charge but you don't have to do that. I did both. Your right & unfortunately, so is your Dr., unless we ALL do SOMETHING about what's going on, all of us who really need medication to give us some sort of quality to our lives, are quickly going to find ourselves bedridden with NO medication & NO QUALITY OF LIFE AT ALL! There is also another site where ANYONE can start a Petition...you could do it on your cellphone while lying in bed!! I encourage any and all who read this to please, try to do something. I know it's not easy when you're not well & in terrible pain, it's hard to do anything! But that's what's great about these issues finally being talked about and on the Internet, I did my letters to my Reps, Congress & to Pres. O'Bama lying in my bed on my heating Pad ! The link below is another option. It's to MoveOn.org. it's the site where you can start your own Petition and it gets circulated to the thousands of members to read and sign via email. It is up to US to stand together and make our voices heard. Good luck to everyone facing this terribly unfair & very scary situation!!

That's because i highly doubt that "Dr Joey" is a real doctor. I could barely understand what he was even talking about and he couldn't form a sentance to save his life. But that's just my opinion.

I go to Capitol Health Institute for neurosciences in Hopewell. They have been a godsend. I recently moved to central Jersey and my last pain doctor was in Absecon New Jersey. She was basically a pill mill. She did nothing to help me but write prescriptions. You'd have to wait 4 to 5 hours to be seen for 3 minutes. She would schedule 15 patients every 15 minutes. It was horrendous. She didn't care about me or my condition. I've been going to Hopewell for a little over a year now and I've gotten my quality of life back. I'm still on pain meds but that's because I've recently had a 5th surgery. I finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm slowly reducing my pain meds and getting stronger everyday. When I was with the doctor in Absecon she basically told me I would be on medication for the rest of my life. Capital Health has given me a new lease on life. I couldn't be happier. I hope my response is helpful and I wish you the best.

I think Most reasonable adults can agree a better way to medicate those truly in need of appropriate opioid pain relief protocols are needed while mitigating use to those better served with interventional methods need be established to protect all chronic pain patients. I only wish more medical professionals could see the value of pain control with opioids when ALL OTHER FORMS OF RELIEF HAVE PROVEN UNSUCCESSFUL .I've worked in this profession for 24 years and have been a life Long chronic pain survivor.For those in NJ unfortunately our governors war on opioid abuse has further alienated legit.cpp's.I agree in principal that this epidemic must be won but not at the risk of causing more misery to the sick and suffering in need of pain control.I wish I could publicaly post the names of qualified prescribers compassionate to the needs of the truly suffering but past experiences with posting doctors names and then being over run by seekers makes that difficult to do.I wish there was a better way ...

I went to my psychiatric Nurse Practitioner today. I have been on 3 mg for 18 years before moving to 4 mg in 2008 of Xanax after trying others along the way to see if they worked for my panic attacks and panic disorder from incest and rape at 18. Then had a work related injury that left me total disabled and a car wreck that left me with short term memory problems yet the severe panic attacks and nightmares became worse. I have never asked for an increase, the Dr decided it would work on a total of 4 a day. And I have seen a psychologist and psychiatrist along the way and I can talk about it but it doesn't change the fact that some things make me go into a tailspin. I am not in NJ but have you all heard of them stopping the use of Xanax or any other meds in that family. I function now but I won't if stopped. I have tried and became a recluse among a basic zombie from lack of sleep from nightmares and racing mind and thoughts. She states that the DEA are using drugstore info to keep them from being able to write it at that dosage and said they want everyone on 1.5 ONLY a day for less than 6 months.

Had to leave her because we became personal friends and she has become way too involved in my life. It's complicated but this leaves me in an awful position. Besides the xanex and pain meds I also have other drugs i.e.blood pressure,psycotropic,etc. I need these drugs and spent 5 years in a nursing facility in a wheelchair, before I was released about 5 or 6 years ago. I must have a Dr. willing to prescribe these drugs ASAP. I live in central NJ. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Yes I agree with you. We all need to rally up and fight this because even though I understand the rules that are applied to the dr's I dont agree with them. Theres always gonna be a bad apple who will mess things up for the rest of the bunch (bad apple meaning people who abuse these meds and get the dr's in trouble because they overdose or get sick) there are many of us who take their meds properly and who are being persecuted and its not right. I have m.s. and it took me going through 3 or 4 dr's before I was finally able to get something that actually helped the pain. Unfortunately the only thing that works is narcos, these nerve meds dont work I.e. cymbalta, neurontin, theres others but you know what I mean. I started getting a rep as a dr shopper and being blacklisted and thats BS... if the dr's I was seeing would have used a better approach to my pain I wouldnt of had to look for other dr's but because of these rules applied to the dr's by the gov and dea, ect....a lot are just afraid to or just refuse to prescribe narcos. Now I been with the same dr for like 6 yrs with no problems....the only probs I get at times are insurance of course freakin vulchers, anyway thats another topic. Lets step up and fight. It's the only way to make things better...

Obviously, I wasn't aware of al the "litigators" in your case and for this I apologize. Sometimes we KNOW our stories so well that we think every medical professional should. My sister, an attorney with no shortage of ego, had an appointment with a doc and when asked why he should prescribe Dilaudid, her response was, "Well, my big brother, Dr. Joey is Chief of Psychiatry .... and professor of pharmacology at ....." The doc did call me. he was a new and he was nervous about calling me. I told him that I'd have done the same thing. How about a note from me if the implications of her story were true? Or, even better, why didn't I or one of my hospital's docs write the damned scripts? I'm so sorry about your injuries and LT pain. Look into hospital programs in NY — there's the Robert Woods Johnson Memorial Hospital, I only know that they have excellent psychiatric care but I've never herd a negative word about the overall quality of care.

Did you state you were receiving SEVEN MS-Contin BID; that's enough (7 x 30 = 210 x 2 = 41mg) QD! If I misread or you miswrote or I left my frontal lobe in one of y offices, I apologize. Pain of this magnitude should be treated with Dialudid (and NOT PO Dailudid; injectable MS at a suitable dose or even METHADONE because of its long-acting effects. Am I missing something here or it your doc a real A----LE? Please advise. I know that when severe pain, but it was imperative for me to be present at the hospital, I have my Asst. Chief of Psychiatry check or actually wrote my hospital orders. This might help clarify matters, Incidentally, We can write orders or change orders at any time for X number of days. Assuming that our telling why you believe is true (and my "Diagnostic Gut" tells me it is, what's up with this clown. Confront him directly and then insist on seeing his boss or the Asst. Chief of his service his department or of his medical service — someone who can override or issue new orders direct him to do so.) I'm sure he wouldn't recognize the Hippocratic Oath if it were written in 21st Century vernacular! Hope this helps and happy holidays, bud! :)

Hi Suzie, are u trying to induce self withdrawal in fear of what might happen or is happening? What meds r u on..I've been disabled since my accident in 1993 n have been on every med in the book n have gone thru the bs changes that r causing ppl who r genuinely in pain feel bad n making it hard to get what they need to get so we can at least somewhat of a life instead of just existing..Its crazy to have to think of what to take n if you will have enuff to take in case u have a bad day or 2 out of the month, i think that totally gets lost in the shuffle in convo's If someone not disabled or sick is having a bad day they can normally do something to fix it but if u r sick n having a bad day its a whole other scenario..All these years n what this whole pain thing boils down to is hoping u have a doc who listens n cares which is hard to find these days..
