looking for a list of doctors who prescribe both methadone and suboxone in hartford county, md and cecil county, md. ## With most places that provide treatment, it's one or other, not both, because both require special training and protocols. For doctors that treat with Suboxone, you can try the website Suboxone.com, they provide a directory. It appears there are quite a few Methadone clinics in MD, but I don't know which ones are in the counties you mentioned and there are far too many to list them all. Have you tried calling your local social services agency to see if they can make any recommendations? ## I am looking for Doctor who can help me continue my methadone maintenance, I can no longer afford the $$$ the clinic charges and had a horrible experience being detox so it&#...

I live in Warner Robins, GA and have noticed that Methadone made by Mallinkrodt (rectangular shaped pill) is now no longer available at any of the pharmacies in this area. I (1) would like to know why I am unable to find this brand anywhere locally; and (2) would like to know who do I file a complaint to about this. The only form of methadose available is from a co. called Roxane. They now have a monopoly in this area and their product is inferior to Mallinkrodt's. The patient's care should be priority here, not the pharmacy's cost of the medication. ## Which manufacturers pill they carry is entirely up to the pharmacies and is usually based on what company was offering the cheapest price, whenever they needed to restock their supply. Thus, it is also not considered a monopo...

trying to find a doc that gives methadone near Burleson area in Fort Worth. Been on it for about 5 yrs. Need to find one asap..If anyone knows of one ..Please help me.ty ## Any doctor can prescribe Methadone for pain management, but if you are taking it to treat drug addiction, then you'll need someone who is specially trained to do so and that has to be in a clinical setting. If you are just looking for a pain management physician or general practitioner, then the best thing you can do is to set up an appointment for a consultation and make sure that they receive a full copy of your medical records. Asking them if they will prescribed it ahead of time, such as when you call to set up an appointment, is usually considered drug seeking behavior. Learn more Methadone details here. Doe...

Does Eli Lilly still make diskette methadone ? It was the only methadone that truly helped my addiction. ## lily doesn't make it anymore. Now you get methadose which isn't as strong. Once we were switched from lily to the methadose, everyone went up in dosage. Highest used to be 100mgs but now you can go to 300mgs and yet they tell us both have the same strenght ## I guess I'm only an addict - so my problem with METHADOSE will just die right here ! ## Are you still alive? It is now 2012, and you have not posted for 3 years. What gives?

I am om methadone and I have gained 30 pounds since I started it why is it doing this to me. I eat healthy everyday. is there anything that can counter act the weight gain ## Methadone is a narcotic opiate, so in essence you need to think of it as a downer and that applies to every area of your body, including your metabolism. Thus, the same healthy foods and the same amount of calories that you used to eat may be too much for your body while you're on it. So, you may need to lower your daily calorie and fat intake, as well as increase your amount of exercise. Learn more Methadone details here. How much do you eat in a day?

Can Methadone possibly show up in urine or blood test as having traces cocaine in your system? ## Not ordanorarly, unless, reaching here, the one that handeled the urine spec. from the Dr's office , contaminated the sampll! Almost immposible,could happen,not likly. ## It should show up as a narcotic, which is what these types of tests usually indicate. ## Always be honest with employers or potential ones. If a certain drug is not a bar to employment and you let them know know what you do take, then positive tests for it cannot be a problem. ## They may, however, require some type of proof from your doctor that you are on it for a legitimate reason. ## did they say that they cant test for meth bulls*** im from boston and that is 1 thing that they test for but my question is how long ...

I have Been taking small amounts of physeptone and mst pills for pain. I've only taken bits of codeine for a week now but have some bruprenorphine patches...is it wise to stick a patch now? I'm so confused and feel terrible! Many thanks. ## Can you provide more specific details on the patches?

Does anyone know of a doctor who prescribes methadone in or near Orlando. I've been on them for pain for years and it's the only thing that helps. My doctor took me off and put me on loratab that doesn't do a thing. ## Why did your doctor switch you? Most are going to be very reluctant to prescribe Methadone for pain, because it does tend to be very habit forming and addictive. Learn more Methadone details here. Learn more Lortab details here.

I am prescribed 80mls of methadone daily for 12yrs now. But i tend to go off the rails every 6mths or so and end up taking another 100ml on top. I've always had a high tolerance to methadone and to heroin when i took it, but the last 6mths i've had 3 seperate occasions where ive started of feeling dizzy and lightheaded, then its like my heart is missing a beat. I feel like im about to pass out and i also get a horrible feeling like im about to die, sometimes i get slight pins and needles. It doesn't last long, only about 5mins.
