Hi heather,

In order to be of better help, I would need to know if you are you looking for a methadone doctor/clinic to prescribe you more methadone or if you are looking for a pharmacy to fill your methadone prescription?

If you are able to post back with these details, including your zip code, I can help locate information pertaining to your general area. I hope this helps!

David thank you for replying. I live in Crab Orchard 40419 and I'm looking for a doctor that will prescribe methadone. I was put on methadone for pain when in Indiana but had to move here and I have seen 4 doctors that laugh at me for ever being put on methadone. I'm not only in the worst pain ever but now I'm deathly sick but no doctors here will help. Thank you for any help if possible.

Wow, that is so sad : ( I realize you posted this days ago so you must have figured out something by now but I think it is just terrible the way doctors (or anyone for that matter) treat people when you even mention the word methadone. Its like its voodoo or something. People need to grow up. Its just a medication that happens to help a lot of people in pain and suffering from addiction. Prime example is this poor girl. If she had been on ANY other pain medication someone would be able to help her but since she uttered the forbidden word "methadone" she isnt taken seriously and must suffer. Its a shame. If you ever end up in this situation again.....I have not done this personally but have heard from various people that in an emergency case like yours you can go to the emergency room. Usually if they can reach your doctor to verify that you were on that medication before you moved they will give you at least enough to last you until you can set something up with a new, more mature doctor, who doesnt act as childish as the others you have encountered. Perhaps the emergency room doctor can recommend a methadone friendly doctor. Good luck hun, I hope you are okay and found some sort of solution : (

U have to look up Methadone clinics in your area or go to the emergency room and explain because quitting cold turkey can kill you & I know that at this point if u haven't found help u already feel like dying, Im on 115mg daily & withdrawals are the worst thing I've ever experianced. The doctors should know if u don't ween down to detox off this can be a risk so I hope u find a clinic to help you! Good luck & please post back & let me kno what happened!!

The other thing I was thinking about is that these 4 doctors that "laughed" at you for ever being put on methadone for pain in the first place.......did it ever occur to them that this is not YOUR fault??? You went to your doctor for pain and he or she is the one who prescribed the medication. The doctor chose which med to give you. It had nothing to do with you or any choice you made. Also, as the other poster stated, even if they thought something was "comical" about your situation they should also know that you are in a very dangerous situation. You need to be taken off of that slowly or you are going to suffer.....which Im sure you already know : ( I still stand by my original suggestion....go to the ER. If you have found some way to take the edge off and are still searching for help, go to the ER and explain your situation and ask for a referral to a methadone friendly doctor OR you could ask for a referral to a pain clinic. They prescribe methadone for pain a lot....thats what I heard from people around here anyways (Boston area)

My friends living in Bowling Green had her dhs or disability "case worker" find her a Dr. office that prescribed to her. I no longer have contact with them, but I'll try to find the Dr. name for you. I'll pray for you, I know the hell your going thru.....

I'll be Praying for u and hope I've been some help and I know how the Hospitals are around here it's sad how they treat a person who tried to get off drugs and better their life!! I'm so sorry ur going through this and I hope u get the help u need soon!!
