Chris, If you are taking in a printout with you prescription history stop doing that. The drs can see your history by looking you up in the states PMP database. You are not going to find a Dr that will give you the high doses you've been taking period. It won't happen. You are either going to have to manage with a lot less pain meds or nor have any at all. It is your decision. If you are able to.get in to see any new drs do not mention dosage or the name of the Med.

BL-Ok gotcha but you & others kept insisting I take complete records including my meds receipt history (which for me is a letter size printout I receive with meds each month) so easy since patient assistance fed ex with the meds. I keep each sheet I get along with all my other records in file. Seems I have too many records (drs. never really read while I there) or not enough for verification of legitimacy against DEA. Feel my situation is complete opposite of what drs, being told/ordered to do therefore I am not a new patient they want to see. Not really their fault-it should all be put upon gov. whom has no business playing dr. when they know nothing about it. I honestly am totally willing to lower dose & have already but my system & pain simply reaches point whereby body will not function no matter other modes to help pain. For instance broken bones shifting simply hurt & no way to help except stopping pain signals somehow.
Thanks for input-am just trying to maintain my psyche along with increased pain levels-that worries me after so many yrs dealing with pain makes it difficult to keep it up.

My husband is prescribed methadone and the doctor is taking him off and won't. Give him another pain medicine to take he had a bad motorcycle accident and his right leg was push up into his pelvic and crushed the doctors put 18pins and screws to hold his leg to his hip there is nothing else they can do for him but take something for chronic pain but the doctor doesn't seem to care I need to find a doctor that will give him some pain medicine so he can have a better quality of life.

Crockett, what reason did the Dr give? Dud your husband break his pain contract? Has the Dr mentioned not wanting to rx the dosage he is on? Has the Dr told him to lose weight or go to physical therapy, etc and he hasn't. ?

The doctor doesn't want to give him methadone or pain medicine. He doesn't like to prescribe pain medicine I guess.

Co To Fl- great news I look forward to our exchange- I now am in need of primary dr. also since my temporary one told me he doesn't know what to do (he from Puerto Rico taking place of my new primary). So now I have no"home base dr." to be there either-pain drs. here I fear just are so few I cannot afford $$ or physically to see enough to find the good one. With media keeping all drug war alive as in news release from Rueters today (posted on yahoo) a Dr. Friedan states how to 'fix' the problem by limiting pain meds being prescribed the solution. Confusion of pain meds used by legit patients & monitored by their drs verses abuse, street drugs & pushers is unbearable. Apparently (according to Dr. Friedan) opiate use has escalated because of prescribed meds - which opposite is true -abusers turning to street drugs due to DEA laws since they're easier to get. So abusers will do whatever, therefore why do we suffer for them? So WRONG & drs. proclaiming BS to public makes it more difficult for legitimate patients. I cant think or type more...

Please be well,
Chris

Chris, I just saw they did a four states bust Mississippi and other states, but also more media about opiate use....so you do have a primary now? Is that what I understand?

Where are you? I have a couple I know of in the Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina area. Must sign contract and submit drug panels and pill counts. Otherwise all is well. I'm not thrilled with mine, but he does treat my chronic pain.

Wish I could b of more help ... Seems like these past yrs. still the same for all who truly suffer . Maybe I can get on the talk forum on wed.s . I'll have to find more on how. I've (we've) had it with these docs. No compassion & now seems hands r tied. Regulations bull. & 2 afraid. They r overwhelmed & being pushed around. Miss the old days. I'm checking on reputable place 2 start getting care... Have checked & will if I can let u no more,i will. I no you can't sometimes get messages through. So if I can I'd like to b able to join the chat group... If that's ok. I've known you all for so long & the suffering continues & is @ an all time high. Y is this continuing ?? Sad to read but true the thoughts about ending the suffering by so many & this America chronic pain becoming a joke to try to survive. My best & Lv. Hope 2 get the help & b able to pass it on. xoxo bless U all. I will know more Monday

Juju you will most likely have to go to the PM clinics, if you plan to be on a narcotic for longer than 6 months. If you pass all their evaluations and have current MRI or xrays reports etc. The guidelines my pm followed in 2012 I was on Norco or percocet, all immediately release meds. So they started me on 15 mg extended relief ?? morphine. I'm up to 60 now. I'm staying here. I'm glad I have a long WA to go to reach my ceiling, meaning Dr's can increase my dose or change up my meds for tolerance reasons. Anyway they pit me on the Norco as a breakthrough. If they don't put you on an extended release med and just keep u on you dose you I don't think you'd have problems getting Norco from P.M.

Wow ?? Kentucky sorry to hear that. Please few thoroughly through these posts. If I'm not mistaken I've seen Dr DNA.es but I'm sure you have done you homework. Must look through might b a pm clinic or Dr that would help. Sometime it takes talking to the right person. I found my Dr by word of mouth he's A MD DO my primary writes all my meds he's an you and half drive one way. I moved out of a state that jus not help me after 2 years of being opate free, it was rough. Suicidal thought s and plans. I had to get outta that state. I did everything one can do therapy inj's. all that. I had a great Dr. He just didn't believe in opiates...so moving to another state isn't crazy ag all.i figured my kids would rather us move then to off myself!; good luck hang in there. If I were you jd go to the methadone clinic just for now. If you choose suboxone , subutext, it wont touch your pain, well for most ppl it doesn't. Actually methadone has been the best for my pain ever. My doc doesn't prescibe it. Good luck
