Methadone Doctor For Pain Indiana

I am in serious intractable pain that can only be treated efficaciously methadone and I need a doctor who will prescribe methadone ## Hello, Campbell! How are you? Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, if you require such a medication on a long-term ongoing basis, you'll need to see a pain management specialist. A general practice doctor won't be able to prescribe it for you. 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. Have you tried pain management, yet? There is no way to guarantee that any doctor will prescribe Methadone for you, but they are specially trained in treating intractable pain. Can anyone suggest a good doctor in that ...

I live in south bend indiana and will travel to go to a clinic. I have been on methadone for years for pain. My doctor will no longer see me. Please help ## Methadone Clinics do not treat chronic pain. And there is a difference between physical dependance from taking it for a long time, as with chronic pain, and the criteria used when evaluating someone for methadone maintance due to addiction, If you're able to find a dr that will treat you, they will need to get a copy of your medical records from your last dr. You didn't say why your last dr refuses to treat you. But depending of the reason, it may be almost impossible to find a dr to treat you like you have been in the past.

I need to find a doctor that will prescribe Methadone for pain use. They wont even let me go to clinic because i was on it for pain for many years ## I live in south bend Indiana and was going to a methadone clinic for 8 yrs, I then found a dr. who wrote me 10-10mg pills a day which is 100mg a day. That was what I was on at the clinic. Then I started getting dirty drug panels and after the 4th one he stopped writing for me so I went back to the clinic and they toke me back on with no problems.

seeking a dr who will subscribe monthly methadone 10 milligram pills ## Hello, Walter! How are you? If you are taking it for addiction/maintenance, then a regular doctor will not be able to prescribe it for you. It would be against the law for them to do so. It can only be administered in a clinical setting by those that have been specially trained in its use for such. If you require it for pain management, then due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, you'll need to see a pain management specialist, as a general practice doctor can no longer do pain management and prescribe such medications.

somewhere close to columbus indiana husband has been taking for 8 years and family doc wont presribe cuz of new dea rules ## There are no new DEA rules governing Methadone. Go to their website and look it up. ## BL is correct, the rules are the same. If he was taking it for addiction/maintenance treatment, then regular doctors have never been able to prescribe it for that. That can only be done in a clinical setting by those specially trained in its use for such. And for pain, the new regulations concern all narcotics, not just Methadone. There have been severe restrictions placed on general practitioners and surgeons regarding what they can and cannot prescribe, so if someone needs such a medication for the long-term treatment of chronic pain, they will have to see a pain management sp...

I AM TRYING TO FIND A DOCTOR THAT WILL PRESCRIBE METHADONE FOR CHRONIC PAIN. ITS COMMONLY KNOWN AS DOLOPHINE AND COMES IN 10MG TABLETS. I USUALLY TAKE 40MG PER DAY. IT IS SO MUCH CHEAPER AND MORE CONVENIENT THAN CLINICS. I AM TOO FAR AWAY FROM CLINIC ANYWAY. THANK YOU ## I'm sorry, but there's no central listing of doctors that will prescribe any particular medication and there's never a guarantee when seeing one that they will prescribe anything. The main problem with Methadone is that is so highly habit forming and addictive. This makes most doctors very reluctant to prescribe it for pain, unless everything else has completely failed to work and all other options have been exhausted. Learn more Methadone details here. What else have you tried to treat your pain? There are ...

Doctor who perscribes methadone in indianapolis, indiana for pain ## Drs that treat chronic pain ## Hello, Laura! How are you?

Due to the new regulations that were put in place this year, if he requires such medications on a long-term, ongoing basis then he''ll need to see specialists and yes, that's plural, because he'd need to see a pain management specialist for pain and someone else for the anxiety.

anyway;this place supposably,gives out methadone 10mgs;but they are in a green@black capsule;its a compound form i guess;anyway i was just wandering if anybody heard what i was talking about;they do make you bring in current dr records@proof that you have been on methadone in the past; ## Wow, that really sounds like a patient-driven operation for them to have their own pharmacy located in the same building as the doctor's office. That almost guarantees patients that they'll eventually come out of there with some sort of prescription in hand. This would probably be a great set up/situation for many chronic pain patients who might otherwise be having trouble locating the right kind of attention and care. Is the place you're referring to some sort of urgent care, clinic, or ho...
