why are you looking for a dr. to prescribe u "METHADONE"? ,,you just contradicted yourself! you said i'll never go back to the pain relievers, then you're asking who can fin help you find a dr. to prescribe you 'Methadone'!! don't understand WHAT YOU WANT TO DO!! MAYBE CHECK YOURSELF INTO A DETOX. ,, OR GO SEE A PSYCHIATRIST, OR HOWEVER U SPELL IT!! ANYWAY,, GOOD LUCK TO YOU. YOU SEEM TO BE IN ALOT OF PAIN, AND NEED SOMETHING, THAT IS MONITORED,IF U ARE WORRIED ABOUT GETTING NO RELIEF FROM THE MEDS U HAVE ALREADY BEEN GIVEN.. BUT,,, I'LL TELL U,, METHADONE ISN'T THE WAY TO GO!!! YOU GET A HABIT GTOM THAT ONE, AND IT'S A BITCH TO GET OFF OF THEM!! I'VE BEEN THERE A FEW TIMES, AND IT'S AWFUL. RIGHT NOW I HAVE TO HAVE OPEN BACK SURGERY, FOR SEVERE SCOLIOSIS. MY BACK BONE IS ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT OF MY BODY, AND STARTING TO PROTRUDE THROUGH MY RIGHT SIDE. ALL MY ORGANS IN THE FRONT PART OF THE BODY ARE ALL SHIFTED TO THE RIGHT SIDE, SO EVERYTHING IS ALL TWISTED TOGETHER,,LIVER SPLEEN, INTESTINES ,STOMACH, EVERYONE OF THEM. I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE SURGERY ON OCT.27/10 AND ALL I HAD FOR OPTIONS WAS1) BLINDNESS,,2) PARALYSIS,, 3) DEATH!! WHICH WOULD U CHOOSE?? I JUST COULDN'T DO IT. I'M SO BENT TO THE LEFT THAT I CAN HARDLY WALK ANYMORE.. MEDICAID WILL NOT GET ME A WALKER, OR ONE OF THOSE SCOOTER THINGS, SO I "SUFFER" SO BADLY EVERYDAY THAT IT'S INCREDIBLE!!I LIVE ALONE, AND HAVE A NURSE THAT GETS HERE, AT HER CONVENIENCE, NOT REALIZING I NEED TO USE THE BATHROOM, BUT CANNOT WALK FOR AT LEAST 1 & 1/2 HOURS.IT GET'S XO BAD SOMETIMES, I HAVE TO LITERALLY "CRAWL ", TO THE BATHROOM!, AND I LIVE IN A HANDICAPPED APT., AND BATHROOM IS A LONG WAY FROM MY HOSPITAL BED!! WELL ENOUGH ABOUT ME... I HOPE YOU MAKE OUT OK.!!! MIMI

As to obtaining a prescription for Methadone, the first problem is going to any doctor and demanding a prescription for a certain narcotic. This is immediately going to make them wary of prescribing it, because it makes you seem like a drug seeker.

Your best option is to obtain copies of all your medial records, including what medications have and have not worked for you and make sure they are sent to a new doctor, so they can best evaluate your condition and decide what should be prescribed.

Many doctors, however, are very reluctant to prescribe it, since it is a highly addictive medication.

And as to anyone asking to purchase medications from someone else, when they were originally prescribed for that person, this is illegal activity. If you try to do so, you face the very real risk of placing yourself in legal jeopardy, because the U.S. DEA can and often does, pursue such cases.

It's part of their attempts to crack down on illegal drug trafficking. For your own peace of mind, you should stick with getting all medications through a legitimate doctor and pharmacy.

Are there any other comments?

I am a recovering addict. Also have worked in several treatmeent centers. The worst withdrawal I have ever seen was a middle aged man trying to get off methadone. Suboxone did not even touch this mans agony! THIS IS A HORRIBLE PHYSICALLY ADDICTING DRUG!

I have two reasons for this reply otherwise you good folks would never have to endure one of my opinions regardless. One, In my time on this planet I managed to fracture L1 an spent two weeks in hospital related to that and within 6 months I was skiing fairly nice blue to easy black in Colorado when fortunate enough to go. Then later ruptured 6 discs over a period to get labeled a (degenarative condition of my spine). And I thought that was a plenty however, Two years ago, i received the systemic lupus award, sorry diagnosis, so hopefully that qualifies me a bit on the pain side. Secondly I was an evidence photographer for the u.s. dept.of justice for over 6 yrs many yrs ago. So, if that qualifies me just a bit to pass this on then well.Im not at all passing judgement here but when I scanned a moment ago and actually read a true and indictable federal crime I kept going on a few of these sites as i was searching for some assistance with my on pothetic back problems. I think I saw where someone else had to remind you folks however I hope you took there advice and please realize as I am sure you may do by now. What is scary is that I realize you were perhaps trying to help a friend ( the few folks i saw involved) but I am sure you know that a federal prosecutor wouldnt look at it that way and if they even saw it there are quite often traces they can initiate to amalgamate information ie your ip or internet protocol address that sort of tags you unless your some spy using anonymous onion routers to keep you under the radar. Its just you didnt sound like Pablo Escobar's to me and I would hate to hear someone got in trouble from something that was maybe " a friend trying to help another friend" that could put federal indictments on you faster than you can breathe. No offense but you have already comitted a conspiracy by just the discussion. Forgive someone trying to mind your business as you dont know me, no more than i know you and i'm not giving any legal advice, whatsoever. im just trying to help someone else that is maybe hurting more than i am. okay? As in the movie called Scent of a Woman where Al Pacino was blind, of course and doing his gut level best to get a drink at the Oak Room and his young traveling companion was deceptively going behind his back to inform the waiter not to bring Pacino a double Jack Daniels as he had ordered; assuming Pacino had drank quite enough and of course Pacino interrupts them all and glares at the kid the way Im trying to glare at the folks that i read on here "trying to help friends" and Pacino said ""DONT DO THAT"" to get his correct double. Im just trying to help by saying to whoever did that the same way, "DONT DO THAT" thanks

I am a 2 yr Breast Cancer Survivor...Cancer itself and Chemotherapy as well as all of the other drugs they pump into your body has destroyed mine...I have Chronic/ Intractable pain from Cancer and its treatments as well as horrific bone & joint pain from Tamoxifen which I have to take for 5+ years has made me feel like I have the body of an 85yr old...Even though I am a very young 37 yr old...For pain, Ive taken everything possible...I am finally on a regimen of Gabapentin (Non-Narcotic), Methadone 10mg 2-3xday and Oxycodone 15mg 2-3xday for Breakthru pain. I am FINALLY getting THE MOST relief than I have with all of the other combo's I have tried. My current regimen now allows me to be more active than I have been in 3 years! I am happier and able to walk more thus able to lose some weight that I have put on from not being able to move from the pain I use to have.

Why the he'll are American docs putting you lot on methadone for accidents and broken bones ? In uk the only reason anybody is put on meth is to come off H! There are plenty of drugs that deal with short term pain and long term pain such as codeine which is willingly subscribed by doctors if you are really suffering you will be admitted to hospital and put on a morphine drip which releases drugs into your vein every few mins ,determined by doc. Like after operations or traffic accidents.

I have heard from my friend who suffers from RSD or whatever it is called now, she is very against drugs and uses/swears by medicinal marijuana - the kicker being that the kind without THC is effective at reducing pain. Maybe that may help you.
