Doctors Who Prescribe Methadone (Page 18)

I am addicted to strong pain meds and I am tired of having to come off of them, the withdrawal is awful. I went to a urgent care doc and was prescribed suboxone. I take anxiety meds too but he wants me to stop. I really need the anxiety meds but he wants me off them. How do I get him to change it from suboxone to methadone so I can take my anxiety meds?

I take 60 mg of methadone and 40mg of of valium both prescribed by the same doctor so it is not illegal

I very much agree with you on this one! My doctor is giving me oxycodone & methadone, & I will tell you that I would much rather take the methadone over the oxys any day! They almost get rid of my pain completely (until they wear off), with little to no side effects. I really don't like how the oxys make me feel, especially when I have to work. I would take only methadone, if I had too. Methadone just makes me feel great & I don't get "high" like when I take an oxy.

That's BS, Chad! I see a pain management doctor & yes he gives me oxycodone & methadone for pain! He also knows that I see a psychiatrist for depression & anxiety & I take Xanax. But, the good thing about it is, that I know what to take, when to take it & how much to take & what I can take it with. Now, doctors do write methadone scripts for pain & even to people who take benzo's. You just have to know what you're doing when you take them.

If you've been taking pain medication for awhile you are addicted... If you just stop taking them you will get sick...

Yes exactly. Thats what people are getting, I do live in a southern state(Florida) and I'm on methdone and for anxiety I take 2mg of klonopin twice a day for anxiety. You just can't take it at the same time as your methadone. But people keep saying they will not prescribe both which maybe in some states. But I'm on both as well and I'm fine and have never overdosed by taking it as prescribed.

I have chronic pain and I have been using methadone since 2010. The hospital I go to in Seattle is private I was told the rules changed and that I need to go to a pain specialist who they chose a psychiatrist he will only let me have oxycodone with my methadone. Which makes no sense to mix 2 drugs. I have Medicare insurance and I think they just want to get rid of me. I wanted to go to my neurologist, but my GP said no that he was not a specialist? I do not know what is going on but I think I am being lied to. Everything was ok until I told my GP I had tailbone pain. Where can I find a pain specialist in Seattle or Tacoma who will treat me for pain? They have methadone clinics here in WA
but only for iv.drug abusers? What am I suppose to do? My GP said he could not do anything unless this specialist he sent me to said so and the specialist said the GP can do what he wants they are NOT telling me the truth. And this all just started. Where can I find my own specialist outside that hospital to give me a diagnoses and to prescribe?

Well your wrong on one matter a private physician CAN write for methadone/suboxon if it is thru a pain management center meaning it doesn't have to be a methadone clinic. Now the answer to your question a lot of doctors will not right for a benzo because it can cause respiratory problems on respiratory failure because the combination of the benzos and the methadone the slow down their breathing there for enabling you to possibly have a overdose that is the answer to your question want your doctor will not write a benzo
