Methadone Doctor (Page 6)

Updated

Hi. I need to find help. I am addicted to pain pills and would really like to get off of them. I have tried methadone and it works, i just need help finding a doctor to prescribe it for me. I live in Michigan. If anyone knows could you please help me? I cant go to a clinic because i dont live near one. I live in the upper penninsula but would drive downstate to get a doctor.....

Whoa.. NUMBER 15.. NEVER SAY NEVER.. I pray you never know what it feels like to be in a car accident that was not your fault, have a metal cage holding your lumbar system together which was rebuilt with other ligaments and bones from your body and screwed together, while your jaw was ripped off, and you have no feeling in your face from metal plates. I pray you don't know what it is to have such severe nerve damage that your symptoms mimic MS and you practically have no control of your body all because of someone else who had a stroke behind the wheel crashed into me. The pain is something that there drugs does not even help no matter how much they give me and I am no longer a functioning person. What I do know, is no matter what, I need that medication because with my walker, I still have to get up and feed my family every day, take care of my bills, and I decided to go on Methadone because if you did your research on "drugs" you would find that after a short period there is no high at all and opiate blockers in there. It is to simply make me function. Obviously, I cant get the best job in the world in my condition so if I can find a doctor that will prescribe this for a cheaper price since it takes up a quarter of my monthly funds just to move each day, I would very much like the information. You don't know these people or there stories. Many build lives and become functioning members of society once on methadone. They work, have bills, school, and are tring to better themselves. They now want off or a cheaper way so they can continue to go further in life because after going from trying to get there "fix" each day, they don't live that life style any more. There bosses are not going to want to wait months for them to just come off the medication cold turkey, there landlords will want there money and they will lose every thing they worked hard for.. AGAIN. there is no HIGH from methadone after being on it for a month or so. IT has opiate blockers in it. Educate yourself before you tell people what to do. Not everyone is you. You don't know why they picked up drugs to begin with. Many young kids are targets by older people for there resources and what do you really know as a young teen. By the time you figure it out..Its to late.. It would be nice though if the world was all sun shine and rainbows and everyone was exactly the same..GOD HELP YOU FOR YOUR LACK OF EMPATHY, and Knowledge on the different things people go through or what can lead to addiction. IN the end..most people are self medicating for one reason or another but you never put your self in there shoes to find out. You can counter me by saying I don't know you and what you went through.. Well its irrelevant because you don't know anyone else or there situations either. OH and number 16, most clinics are filled with people abusing prescription medications now.. Not H.. They are now on there for pain management. Sorry to burst your bubble. Number 17 thank you for seeing something wrong with that and what the hell are you doing here anyway 15 if you were not looking for information of your own? Curiosity?

Hello, I feel the same way. If you find a doctor near Philly or New Jersey who can prescribe methadone for pain can you let me know?

God help you, sounds like you're a ignorant uninformed, judgemental person. Someone in your family is affected by addiction. By the way, Christ came for broken people. You should write a book on human perfection. I'll pray for you.

Good luck with that. That will be next to impossible. These days only 2 places Rx methadone...clinics & pain mgmt clinics...which is now rare for a pain clinic to do. I hope you have some luck...I know that same feeling of not being able to drive, but somehow I did it & that's now been many years.

You can google methadone clinics in Brooklyn, I used to live in manhattan and there literally ALL OVER! So I'm assuming there in Brooklyn and Queens as well. Some hospitals have clinics as well. The only bad thing is you have to go everyday, no Dr will prescribe it like suboxone. Good Luck :)

I read your post...and it moved me so much. I wanted to check in and see if you are making it ok? Man you have been through it. Don't ever listen to anyone that tells you that you shouldn't be on pain meds...I'm quite sure you couldn't make it through many a day without them. I hope this finds you feeling better and I enjoyed your post!
ALL MY BEST TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!(My 2 posts are above at BRCA Survivor)

Hello~You can go to this site and it may possibly help you find a doctor in your state/area. The website is SAMHSA.gov. However, it will be somewhat hard to find a doctor that will Rx methadone. A doctor that is not an addiction dr CAN Rx methadone, but ONLY for pain- not for addiction purposes. However, if your need is for addiction purposes and that's why you are looking into methadone, you would have to attend a methadone clinic (and NY is a great state for Methadone Maintenance Treatment...one of the best actually). But there is another option, a regular doctor (one that holds a special license/certificate to Rx Suboxone) can Rx Suboxone...a newer medication for opiate addiction, and you would not have to attend a clinic. More and more doctors are becoming able to prescribe Suboxone so that is a good option, especially because it works wonders! You will also be able to find Suboxone (Buprenorphine) doctors on SAMHSA.gov. I hope this helps some! Good luck!

Hello 'CONCERNED.' You said you need help because you can't read through the lines. What do you need help with? I will try to answer any questions if I possibly can.

You do not know, obviously, just how chronic pain affects a person. Your ignorance and lack of knowledge about just how severe and life threatening pain can be to a person makes you sound like a red neck no-mind. God help you if you ever have need for pain medications. I hope you suffer and do not get help. You are a bigot and you are the type of person that should not say anything until you know something about what you are talking about! What a horrible person. No wonder the world is in a mess...it is people like you who change it for the worse! Just shameful!

Right on Coco! Why are people so mean and hateful to others?! Chronic pain is so debilitating, and those that have never been through that situation really shouldn't speak on it!
Good evening Coco~

I have been on methadone for 4 yrs now and want off! I'm on day 3, and took 20 mgs to ease the symptoms which makes me feel like a complete failure, but I'm also kicking myself hoping I didn't just completely start the entire detox process over. Any advice on how to get thru this is greatly appreciated!

@Lynsey
Can I get a little more information? Like what dosage you have been taking and are you taking anything else? I took methadone for almost 10 yrs and today I have been clean for over a year. I may be able to give you some advice on what to do, to relieve some of the withdrawal symptoms and also some moral support if needed. Let me know.
