My name is David, Ive lived in Atlanta for years and was on 1mg xanax 3x a day, and for knee replacement Percocet 10 3x a day. My Dr. Is moving and I need a Dr. quick. I live in Gwinnett Co. please help, thanks. ## Im on xanax and have been on percocet the past 8 years. My Dr. has to move and gave me 3 weeks notice. Please help. ## Hello, David! How are you? I"m sorry about the problem that you're having. Is there a chance that your doctor could refer you to a colleague, before he leaves? That might be the quickest and easiest way to find the help you need. Due to the new directives set forth by the DEA last year, most doctors are going to be reluctant to prescribe both medications and will refer you to specialists for treatment. Someone specializing in pain management, and a ps...

my doctor in marietta prescribed my ultram for my sciatica. it is a mild narcotic. the new dr i went to wont prescribe it. are there any doctors that give out meds easy? ## Hello, Regina! How are you? No, all doctors must be very picky and careful about prescribing, now. If they are thought to be prescribing improperly, they can lose their license to practice medicine and face jail time. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. And as to having it prescribe, if you require such a medication on a long-term ongoing basis, you'll need to see a specialist, due to the new regulations that were put in place last year. What is your general location? That may help ...

Looking for a good Pain Management dr in Atlanta. I've been going to the same dr for 8 years and out of the blue he changed his patients meds, no longer prescribing any type of Oxycodone. No matter how well it's working for the patient. He's changed mine to Opana ER and it's $1200 for the prescription, I can't find a pharmacy that stocks them and I hear they have terrible side effects. Help me find another dr please! ## let me guess is his initials D.H? dr. Da......He??? ## Opana ER contains the active ingredient Oxymorphone, it is another opiate just like the Oxycodone you were taking, so it carries the risk of causing the same side effects, which may include nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. They also carry the risk of being habit forming. R...

Wondering if anyone knows of a quick in and out pain clinic in downtown Atlanta ## There are none to be found anywhere in the U.S. anymore. Such places were pill mills, for the most part, and have been shut dow by the government. Why isn't your current doctor helping you?

I am a student in Atlanta, GA, and I cannot find anyone that will fill my prescription from a local doctor for Oxycodone 30's...any suggestions? Please help! Thanks! ## How have you been checking for them? Have you actually gone into the pharmacies, with the prescription in hand, to ask if they carry them? If you have just been calling around, you are not likely going to get an honest answer. There is a huge problem with pharmacies being robbed of controlled substances, especially Oxycodone and, if you are just calling, they have no way of knowing if you are a legitimate customer or a potential thief, so they will usually just automatically say they don't carry it. Another option you may want to look into is checking whether or not they are any specialty pain management pharmaci...

I really need help. I've been on opiates for 4 years for a back injury resulting in surgery. I am addicted of course and ready to get my life back. I have taken suboxen but get irritable, depressed, and a headache that won't go away for the entire time I am on them. I need to find a dr that prescribes subutex. Can someone please help me? I have a family that needs their wife and mom back. Thanks ## Well, the first question is, has your body simply become dependent on them, or are you actually addicted? Being addicted means that you've been abusing them, taking more and more than you've been prescribed, because you like the effect they have on you, so keep that in mind, before you answer the question. If you've only been taking them in therapeutic amounts as prescribe...

I severe anxiety disorder and have been on generic xanax for about 14 years (same dosage). I do not know of any physicians in this area and do not have insurance. Can anyone suggest a reputable physician that will treat not only the anxiety disorder but would also serve as my general physician? ## Hi Timothy, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Unfortunately I'm not from that area so I don't know of any doctors I can recommend. However, there is a site called health grades.com that you might want to give a shot, it should help you to find specialists in your area (psychiatrists, physicians etc..).

I have a prescription for Oxycodone 30mg for an injury suffered in the military. My doctor and I worked hard to come up with a combination of medications that help me to function normally. I have been a regular customer of Kroger for 10 years, and the npharmaciata there are familiar with my history. Last month, they told me they could not fill them because they weren't able to get the medicine. I have been to approx 60pharmacies trying to get my medicine. There seems to be a problem with getting this medication filled away from my home pharmacy. I am tired of being shunned by pharnacists and treated like I am a junkie. I am a resprcted businesman who is just trying to get my medication filled. I have a history with Krogerthat my pharmacist will happily provide. Does anyone know wher...

Hello, Currently, as of March 21, 2016, I have been unable to get my 30mg Adderall generic filled after visiting over a dozen pharmacies in the Atlanta, GA area. This has *never* happened to me before. Anyone in the city or very close suburbs know of a place that has 30mg's? I know there are multiple manufacturers, and I haven't been able to find anything that suggests that it's suddenly become impossible to find 30mg *anywhere*. ## Have you tried Sam's Club? I'm on the North West of Atlanta, about 20 OTP. Filled my on March 7 though, so maybe I should check into this. Good Luck ## I live in michigan and can't find a pharmacy that has my 30mg either, They are stating they are on back order. I have been out for over a week. ## I live in Southern California and had...

I've been taking Endocet 10/325 (yellow oval) for a number of years for chronic back ailments...( dessicated discs). Several months ago almost every pharmacy stopped carrying them because their insurance companies would not cover the higher costs of them. After having tried Amneal with virtually no relief from them I am searching for any pharmacy in or near the Atlanta area that still carries them. Does anyone know of a pharmacy near or south of Atlanta where they are available? Any help greatly appreciated!

I have RA and herniations of 4 disks with bone spurs off of 3 of my disks as well, I am in need of a physician that understands that there are legitimate people with documented conditions that require medications that help you live; not just survive. I am so depressed now, not just because of the pain; but because physicians treat you poorly; and as a drug seeker when they have diagnostic proof that you are in pain. I need any suggestions for a pain management physician near Atlanta, Ga ## I have a similar condition and have been seeing Dr C.B. Reddy in Griffin...about 30 miles south of Atlanta.... Shabby office, but great nurses and a doctor who not only genuinely cares about you, but listens to you...(most don't hear a word you say). He also bills only for the time that he sees yo...

Need any information on what Doctors prescribe methadone.. ## Hello, Tony! How are you? If you require it for addiction/maintenance, then your only option is a clinic. A private practice doctor isn't allowed to prescribe it for that. However, if you require it for pain, then any doctor can prescribe, but most will be reluctant to do so, due to it's highly addictive tendencies. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Can anyone suggest a doctor in that area?

My pain doctor prescribed OxyContin (Oxycodone ER) 30mg for pelvic pain. However, I can't seem to find them in the Atlanta, GA surrounding area. Can someone tell me why? ## I live in the U.K. and my Dr prescribed 120 mg (5 times a day), with 40 mg for breakthrough pain. I can only assume I must be the only person on this amount as I'm having a similar issue. ## dkc, how have you been checking for it with the pharmacies? Because, if you are just calling, or even going in and asking them, without showing them your actual prescription, then you aren't likely to be getting an honest answer. To try to help prevent theft, and diversion, since this is a very commonly abused medication, they will usually just tell a random person asking that they do not carry it, or it is out of sto...

There are Morphine tablets available on the market in all the same formulations as Oxycodone, in name brands and generics. If you are taking 30mgs of Oxycodone, then you would require 45mgs of the Morphine to be equivalent. Another question is, how are you shopping around for the prescription?

I need dr in the north Atlanta area that is actually willing to write a pain prescription and not just do expensive procedures ## Hello, Kitty! How are you? I'm sorry, but there is no listing of doctors according to whether or not they will prescribe medications that I can refer to for you. Generally, possibly habit forming drugs are the last choice for treatment, to be used only when the other treatment options have failed. Do you currently have a PCP that could refer you to someone? With many pain specialists being overwhelmed right now, that would like be the easiest and speediest way to find the help you need.

Looking for a pharmacy near Mcdonough,GA to fill my oxycodone 30mg every month..Im 34 yts old and i feel like i get descriminated against ..Some pharmacys have them but wont fill them cause of my age or i live more than 15 miles away. What can i do? ## Hello, Shane! How are you? It's actually not considered discrimination if they apply the rule across the board to everyone and the likely reason for the rules is due to the fact that they can only order in and stock a certain amount of any controlled substance each month, so they have to create rules to narrow down whose prescriptions they can fill. Are there any large hospitals in your area? If so, you may want to check with their pharmacy. Many of them stock a larger supply, so they may not be so restrictive. This is a narcotic anal...
