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.....

There really are not many methadone "doctors" anymore. Most of them are at approved methadone clinics now where you go in on a semi regular basis to get your meds.

Where in new York. I'm currently on 20mg but used to get 80mg then the doctor retired and his nurse practitioner doesn't want to give it to me anymore. So I'm struggling every night.

You obviously have no idea what these people go through. You should try walking a mile in their shoes before you cast judgement upon them. Shame on you, you hypocrite!

Hi Nicky, I came across this forum on methadone help and I saw your reply to a few other people who said that they needed help with methadone and that if they lived in NY or could come to NY that you could help them. I'm guessing you're a doctor or know someone who is that could help me. If you could get back to me I would appreciate it. Thank you!

Methadon is worse than pain pills. No doctor will prescribe methadon to replace another opiate. Only clinics will give you methadon. It's a nightmare. It's like being a diabetic. You need it to function. Clinics are like drug dealers. What they say goes. Period

You mentioned you were on too much methadone ....everyone is different. My functioning dose is 80mgs..... I live in Michigan.....I explained to my primary care physician I attended a methadone clinic for pain and that they treat addiction not pain.... He switched me to morphine....240mg daily ....finally achieved a quality of life until my primary left practice....now I'm without medication waiting for a pain clinic referral..... These doctors have no compassion!!! I notified my state representative.... I think that helps somewhat considering they are now worried about my specific medication and doctors are afraid to write for it.... I want the States to ensure no one gets left behind....that safeguards are implemented that prevent doctors from just dropping prescriptions leaving their patients to suffer..... God Bless You and may the Lord provide favor....understanding... And bless you....in Jesus....Amen

You obviously know nothing about addiction. It is a disease of the mind. Nobody on this site wants to live a life where they constantly have to worry about being sick but coming off cold turkey is near impossible. Most people would love to be able to snap their fingers and live life clean and sober but it is not that easy to just say ok im going to stop using today and do it. Your mind is in constant conflict with itself and unfortunately the addict mind usually wins the fight.

Hello, My pain clinic just got closed. I live in Ashland Wi. Very north WI. I am on 60 mg of methadone a day. I have called so many doctors in my area and nobody will help me. The closest methadone clinic is 3 1/2 hours away. Plus I was told instantly, they do not help people for pain. I get that but I'm an addict that lives with chronic pain. Degenerative disc's, Bulging disc's, Sciatic nerve, had surgery for torn ACL & Meniscus on my knee. Never has been the same. Perhaps I am on too much methadone but I know I cant just get off them in a couple weeks. I'm desperate and feel so alone. I have never posted anything on the web before I just don't know what to do. Now I'm sick from withdrawl and in more pain. Please does anybody know a doctor in my area who may help me? Thank you.

In this day and age I am still shocked to see so many people who are inconsiderate and not compassionate. It is not only one field that they feel this way about. They often judge everyone else as well. It saddens me to see this. Please take a good look at yourself.
