I live I pinellas county fl my pain doctor is in hillsborow. I'm can't find the opana I need to make the transission. I would prefer the new geniric. I've gone from 40mlg down to 20mlg.

I have downloaded the DEA formal law, the Pharmacy's are all lying in Central Florida. Here is the web version. For the official version you will need download just scroll to the bottom. (deadiversion.usdoj.gov/fed_regs/rules/2014/fr0822.htm). The law doesn't even take effect until October 6. Read scroll down to Patient access. I have placed a call into Walgreens cause according to the DEA they cannot refuse you. I can't get mine there is also a way to sue the Pharmacy's with legal action. The Pharmacy's don't know how to interrupt them. I think Walgreens is just Dumping Florida patients they are rude even for sinus meds. CVS is trying this too. Denying legitimate patients really Oh Obama care is really united health group I use to work for them. Did you know tha...

i am having trouble finding a pain management doctor that will perscribe medication. After multiple surgeries my 4,5,6,7 cervical vertebray have been fused because of a work accident. Also broke my right hip 2 years ago, plated and screws. I am looking for a doctor that recognizes no amount of physical therapy will solve my pain problems and perscribe pain medication. Thanks for any help with this matter ron ## Hello, Ron! How are you? I'm sorry, but there's no listing of doctors according to whether or not they will prescribe anything that I can refer to for you. That is entirely up to the doctor and what they think is appropriate. And if you're calling and asking new doctors if they'll prescribe such medications, most aren't even going to let you get in the door, b...

Hello I have learned that any pharmacy can lie and say that they're out of certain pain meds which is trifling because u then have to ride around town.... ## They all lie, it's common practice. They fill for who they want to. It's hard, but if and when you get them filled, try to stick with the same pharmacy and get established. Then it will be a lot easier. Keep pharmacy records...

I take morphine and dilaudid for chronic pain associated with my 9 hip surgeries and three car accidents I would like to take methadone for pain management instead of what I'm taking I live in Clearwater Florida ## Hello, Karen! How are you? I'm sorry about what you've been through. Why do you want to switch? Are the Morphine and Dilaudid working for you? Most doctors aren't going to want to prescribe Methadone, due it's extremely addictive nature. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. ## NO!! I'm uninsured, live 20mi east I4. I've used each of these. Right now methadone was the only thing I could get. I am in so much pain, I want to die! My usual scripts are duragesic 75...

For all who live in Florida you are aware of the terrible problem of filling narcotic pain medication prescriptions. I am not connected with this petition but want you to be aware of it and I am providing a link to this petition so hopefully pharmacies will be forced to carry adequate supply of medication for refills. I moved to Florida to retire from Missouri. I am sorry I made this choice as I must go sometime weeks waiting on a pharmacy any of them to have quantity to fill my script. As you know 9 out of 10 times the pharmacies never have any on hand. Then we are forced to drive (not able to call) to pharmacy to other pharmacy to see if they can fill it. The law in Florida is so strict you cannot leave your prescription at the pharmacy to be filled, nor can you be provided by phone i...

I need the address of a pain clinic. My back is killing me and this is the only way to keep working to pay my bills. Please if u can help I would owe u big. Just show me the doc. ## I need to find a Dr for my pain around davinport fl to Tampa fl please help me ## Dr. Gerardo Florez, Jacksonville. $300 cash only. Just give them a local address and say you just moved there. Although, I doubt he would care. I've seen plates from Alabama and Georgia when I was there. He will keep you on whatever you are already on if you can bring your bottles or they'll just pull up your eforcse record. Not a pill mill! Just a Dr who treats patients instead of a government agent posing as a dr. if you know what I mean! He's a terrific guy! Don't poss off Mike, the office manager! He will ge...

I just moved from NYC to the Florida panhandled. I am having a difficult time finding a pain management doctor who will continue the meds I have been on for a broken back, failed spinal fusion. I take oxycondone and soma. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My other choice is to fly back to NY. Many thanks ## You will probably need to fly back to New York for now. However after a reasonable amount of time your out of state providers might cut you off and tell you to find a Doctor in your area ## I know this is older but just in case you're still looking...Dr. David Norfleet in crestview. They take insurance. He has no bedside manner and honestly I don't like him BUT after the first visit you see the NP and she is WONDERFUL! Very caring! The office staff is beyond rude....

Just moved to Melbourne Florida and my scripts are about out. Does anyone know of a doctor in area? I take Oxycotin 30mg and xanax x5 years with no issues. Thank you! ## Hello, Mike! How are you? Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, if you require such medications on a long-term ongoing basis, you'll need to see specialists. Both of these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and constipation. Having a PCP refer you to someone will most likely be the easiest way of finding the help you need. Can anyone suggest a good doctor in that area?

My primary care physician said I need to start getting my medication from a pain management Doctor as he is not willing to prescribe for more than 2 months. Can anyone here refer me to a good doctor? I have tried a spinal inj. and had a moderate allergic reaction to it (hives, sweats, nausea). ## I need a good pain doctor in Orlando. I have a few bad disks and the national pain institute wasn't working for me. I was just someone to gain money off of. I travel for work often and it would be nice to have a script to get by, but long term I need to be fixed. Anyone have any suggestions that can help? ## I too had issues with NPI. Did you find another PM doctor that was able to help you?

I just moved to St Augustine, Florida and I am looking for a new pain management physician. I have been taking methadone for pain for about a year. After trying several other medications to treat RA and back issues, the methadone actually managed my pain well and I need to find a new pain management doctor who prescribes methadone for pain. I would be willing to travel to Jacksonville or surrounding areas. Any help is appreciated! ## No one can tell you what a new doctor will and won't prescribe. You need to call your insurance company and ask for a list of Pain Management Doctors in your area that take your insurance. Some pain management doctors also want you to be seeing a pcp. Chances are good you will need copies of your medical records from your previous doctors.

I am in urgent need of a pain doctor in the central florida area that isn't afraid to prescribe fentanyl patch & percocet. I've been seeing a doctor in a pain management group that keeps cutting my dosages down every time i go in and just wants to give me inj's. that don't help, he also makes me come in every two weeks and i cant afford the copays and taking the time off work constantly. Not only that he has me take U/A's every month. I've never given him a reason to do this so i don't know why he does it but i have to find someone new and fast. I've been on percocet for the last five years and fentanyl patch for the last 18 months. I have great insurance and a good pharmacy but cant afford to keep doing this. I'm in constant agony from my back pa...

Ok. I am at my end and trying to find someone who knows a dr that will take a new patient. I have herniated discs in my neck that pinch a nerve and create horrible pain and burning in my hands. I have 2 small children and work in a career that requires me to use my hands and back 90% of the time. I've had to stop working because of this and I'm at my wits end with all of this. I'm currently seeing our family dr who has been prescribing me 10/325 percocets. She referred me to a pain dr and he wouldn't take me as a new patient. I am so frustrated. I know there has been a really big issue with narcotics and pill mills and all of that. I would just like to know if anyone knows a dr that is willing to write narcotic prescriptions. I have been to physical therapy and I don...

Can anyone help me find a doctor to help with pain management until scheduled surgery? I have history of endometriosis and they are telling me that my bowels are covered in scar tissue. Im unable to care for my son the way I should because the pain is debilitating. I'm seeing a doctor at the community health center but he's pretty much worthless. My husbands job wants $1200+ a month for insurance and we just can't affors that right now. The dr at the health center tells me to go to ER and ER tells me to see my dr. Nobody will help with the pain. I'm in the St Pete area.

Pain management Drs in Florida are more concerned about how much THC you have in your body, rather than trying to fix the problem or give you pain meds. I'm on 10mg Roxicodone 4x a day. The dr I have right now is the second one I'm going to lose this year. They don't understand! If he would give me back my soma rx I wouldn't need that. I have found CBD oil now that helps for the reason I used cannabis. I can't take nsaid's for inflammation so I used cannabis to help with that. I'm supposed to go without pain meds so they can act like gods. Will amendment 2 really help people like me? I can tell you this. When I have my cannabis I make candy with it. I don't take as many pain, muscle or nerve pills. I just don't know what to do! ## I need a doctor to p...

The pain clinic on 4941 E Busch Blvd suite 210 Tampa Florida is a wonderful clinic I have been with them for years. I get treated like I am a "REAL" patient. In addition to my pain management treatment I get treated for my other medical issues at no extra cost. This facility has a fabulous reputation and I am vouching for them personally. The MD's are board certified, he listens to you and takes care of your need. Call them at 813-988-8380 ## I visited the Pain Clinic and it was just us you said. Their appointments are very flexible and they are even accepting New Patient. I found my place of pain relief. Thank you for the help Glen. ## Hi I just got a pain management referral The first time how can that clinic help with the cost? Im On Hillsborough county ins. And they don...

I am in the process of looking for a New pain management Dr in the Gainesville, FL area that takes Avmed insurance and one that takes Prestige medicaid for my Mom. We had both been seeing same Dr for past 2 yrs and although I didn't like his obnoxious know it all attitude when you came prepared by doing your own research on your medical issues or new medication and in my case anything to help for my myofascial pain, he cuts everything down. But most recently he retaliated against my elderly Mom after we had all 3 decided on a plan of care. Then after a disagreement on a paper I brought in that would not harm my body if it failed or worked (all natural approach) he pulled two of my mom's meds and changed one. Wasn't even man enough to bring the scripts to her and tell her. Unles
