Cost Of Methadone

73 Topics Found

Hello Posters, I am a 60 year old man who has gone from Methadone being free to the point of having to pay $12 per day. I can no longer afford this. CAN ANYONE TELL ME ANYWHERE IN THE United States where there is a free Methadone Clinic or a clinic that is subsidized. I don't know what to do. Please try to help me. Thank you for any post or info you can give me. ## Unfortunately, I don't know of any completely free ones. There are some state run clinics that will do an income based treatment, so some people don't pay anything, while what others pay can vary depending on their income. However, if you do work or have some type of income, that's liable to be about $12 a day for daily treatments, anyway. Learn more Methadone details here. Do you have any type of insurance? #...

In NY looking for a private Dr to write methadone ## Looking for a private Doctor in northern ky to prescribe my methadone just cost me so much money now .take it for chronic back pain .going to a clinic right now but cost me 800 dollars a month with gas .but have to have it just really need a private Doctor .Thanks for any ones help . ## Hello, Dee! How are you? I'm very sorry, but if you've been going to a clinic, continuing there is your only option. Private doctors are not allowed to prescribe it for addiction treatment under the current laws and the fact that you've been going to a clinic, regardless of the reason, will be noted in your medical records. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, ...

Copper deficiency is causing aneurysms, herniated discs, hemorrhoids, high cholesterol, and emphysema, and these diseases are among the most destructive, painful, and numerous diseases in our society. Slipped or herniated discs are estimated to cost 200 billion dollars directly and indirectly each year in the USA alone [futuremedicine.com/doi/pdf/10.2217/14750708.4.1.51]. Four to six of 100 Americans autopsied died of a ruptured aneurysm. 3.6 to 6 percent of those examined had non ruptured brain aneurysms [Renkel]. Each year, 16,000 Americans die due to a ruptured aortic aneurysm. Of the 200,000 strokes that occur each year in the USA, 20% are aneurysms in the brain. I suspect that copper deficiency status is the most important parameter affecting them. For instance, aneurysms are produ...

I am on 60 milligrams of Methadone, I have been taking this for a year now. I am very eager to switch over to Suboxone asap. If i quit cold turkey How long until I'd be able to start Suboxone? My counselor says that I have to tapper off no more than 2 milligrams a week & have to get down to 30 milligrams before that'll start me on Suboxone. I lost my job & can't afford to wait around another 15 weeks to switch being Methadone is expensive, costing me $91 a week, luckily I only go once a week being I haven't failed a drug panel since my 1st evaluation. Once they switch me over I can switch to a place that takes my insurance. What I want to know is why do I have to be down to 30 milligrams, why can't I switch on 60? Lastly if I go cold turkey how long till I ca...

Does Methadone work well for Neuropathy in the hands & mouth? I'm in need of pain management in Tyler, Tx or around east Texas. ## How do you administer the methadone? Is it in pill form? I have taken both pill form & liquid form, but the liquid form doesn't help pain and was not helping much. It even says that in PDR. I had a Dr that gave me methadone 10mg qid. I am a retired nurse. I have chronic pain from 3 places in my nerves, cervex, and lower gum area. My nerve pain stems from my fingers. I have peripheral neuropathy which is no fun now, cause I can tell where the nerve is. I have had Rxs from different Drs mostly in Dallas. I also had a patch, but brutran patches cost $700 if you have to pay for them. I never did because I have insurance now, but I have medicare ...

I have been on the clinic for a little over 5 years before I recently walked off 80mg. That probably wasn't one of the brightest ideas I've had in a while, but I didn't do it without a plan! I really thought this plan out for a while and was ready to do it no matter what, I was going to succeed at any cost, I had to, people needed to know it can be done, you don't have to be a "lifer" I was always the type of person once I put my mind to something, anything so I thought, I would accomplish whtever it may be! Let me back up a second and give you some backround as to why I needed to get off and it had to be now! First and foremost I also belong to a fellowship called AA, one of the best moves I ever made in my life, well actually the best move! I met a lot of genui...

I've had chronic pain due to autoimmune diseases for several yrs. I have been seeing a PM doctor in another state but now am in Louisville, Ky staying with a family member who has cancer. I will be here indefinitely and am running into dead ends finding a doctor who is willing to see me and write my Methadone 10 mg that I take 4 x a day. Any suggestions? It is costing me $400 a month to fly round trip each month. ## What you really need to do is make an appointment with someone as a new patient, but without asking them ahead of time if they'll prescribe any certain medication. You can tell them what your health issues are, but if you ask for a particular medication, especially one like this that is a controlled substance, most doctors and their staff are taught to view that as d...

my mom has been on methadone for 13 years. She is on 135 mgs of the methadone. And she is now being prescribed 10 MG oxycodone for server pain and I told her she needed to chose either to take the methadone or take the oxys. well my question is, is if she wants to take the oxys how long would she have to go off the methadone before she would get relief from the oxycodone?? ## I used to take Oxycontin. Oxycodone is pretty much the same thing. It is a very addictive drug and very easy to abuse. I developed a resistance to it's effectiveness very quickly, requiring more and more to get the same pain relief. This drug is dangerous. It destroyed my life, and almost cost me it. I have since been on methadone for several years now, only 60 mg per day, and it works much better for my pain. ...

I am in desperate need of a private doctor that prescribes methadone. I'm a single mom that works 40 hours a week serving tables. However all the money I make goes to the methadone clinic. It cost me 15 dollars a day to dose and 15 in gas to get there. Can someone please help. I can have all documents transferred from the clinic to a doctors office. also my concern about transferring to a private doctor is the milligrams given daily. Will they start me at the same amount of medication? Jacksonville or Saint Augustine area would be great. Also if you know the price of first visit that would be great ## Doctor's in my are give methadone for chronic pain.... It's cheap- 120 pills are about 22 bucks.... ## If it's for addiction treatment, then a private doctor can't help...

I have been treated for chronic back pain for about ten years and have a spotless record of compliance. I have no insurance so have to pay the bills out of pocket. About three years ago I was paying 40 dollars for a 30 day script of methadone. 10mg 3 times a day. Then the price went to 74.00 per month. then to 162.00 per month. For meds that cost less than fifteen dollars. Are there any doctors in Maine (my zip is 04537) That will treat a patient fairly. ## Hello, Scott! How are you doing? I'm not sure I understand your issue. If your doctor is prescribing a medication and your getting it filled at your pharmacy, the price has nothing to do with your doctor treating you fairly. The price is set by the pharmacy and their supplier. And with the new regulations that have been put in pl...

Hello been going to methadone clinic for about 10years going for pain although its a maintenance program. Looking for a Dr because it costs so much to go to clinic. On 120 MG's. Live in west Tennessee. Any suggestions? ## Hello, Brandon! How are you? Unfortunately, you're not going to be able to switch. Due to the current laws, for addiction/maintenance, it can only be given in a clinical setting by those that have been specially trained in its use for such. Regular doctors can only prescribe it for pain and what you currently have in your records is the fact that you were going to a treatment clinic, so a regular doctor isn't going to be able to prescribe it for you. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hello Brandon, not sure if you have found a doctor yet to help yo...

i have been taking methadone for awhile, now suddenly the pharmacy will not carry it, but they will carry the much more expensive pain killers....why is this happening? is it all about the money again? This is killing me. my rx payments went from %54 to $450. I cannot afford this ## I'm sorry, but which medications they do or do not carry is up to your pharmacy. While most are very considerate and obliging, they are not required to carry any specific medications. Have you tried seeing if one of your local pharmacies will order it in for you? 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. ## Thanks to Obama. The same reason Epi pens now cost over 500 dollars.

If you take it for opiate addiction, you won';t be able to find a doctor to prescribe it for you because a doctor can only write it for chronic pain. As for money, by the time you pay to see a doctor (Pain managment is a specialty) it will cost you more than going to the clinic. Most pain managment doctors charge $100.00+ each month plus the medication, and another problem ...

I have attended a treatment clinic since 3/22/11 and have been doing awesome. It has really helped me. I would like to find a regular doctor that can possibly prescribe to me so I don't have to travel twice a week to the clinic and it also costs me $330 a month. Can you help me?? ## Hi Jay, If you run a google search for "methadonedocs" you should be able to find a webpage that helps you find these types of doctors within your general area. I was going to go ahead and post a few names from there, but wasn't sure what city you're in? You can also give this other page a try too if you just want to search for regular pain management specialists: wellness.com/find/pain%20management%20specialist I hope this helps!

I live in the Flathead Valley in Montana and have been going to the most horrible pain clinic for the past 3 years. Out of no were I have been accused of selling my meds and now have to come in once a month for office visits and U/As. I can not stand this callous treatment nor afford the cost of this anymore.
