How To Get Prescribed Pain Meds

I had a wreck in my vehicle and tested positive for alcohol and now I'm unable to get prescribed any narcotics in TN, which I've been on for years, due to the notes from the hospital that treated me. Could I drive to another state and become a PM patient there? Looking for objective answers, not negative comments. ## Go down to the corner and score some, like everyone else that the government forced on people who need them!! ## I'm not going to condone this but Snoopy snoop has a point. Apparently, here in SC and almost every other state in the union, has an "Opioid Crisis". True, I believe it is exaggerated by the government, I haven't figured out for whose benefit yet. I was told, by a doctor, that the only way anyone will receive a steady narcotic or opioid pr...

Ready to stop taking loratabs ## Have you asked your doctor about using Subutex to get off the Lortab? Most pain management doctors should have a general understanding of what you need to safely get through the withdrawal phase of such medications. In the event that you can't get Subutex, I'd even consider cutting the Lortabs into smaller fractions so you can take a partial dose to help ween down and lessen your need for more addicting meds like Subutex. I only say that because I've been reading a number of posts stating how some people use Suboxone, Subutex, & Methadone to get off one med and they ironically end up getting addicted to those one's as a result of taking them for so long. My suggestion is to take your time tapering off, but your doctor would probably h...

My mother in law doctor retired and wrote her a script for a 30 day supply of 80 oc's and she can not get in to see her new doctor till july, she has a print out of six months showing that she has been on the meds, where in the Knoxville area is a doctor who will see her on short notice and refill her script for 30 days till she see's her new doctor? I can not bear to see her go thru withdraw ## It is going to be very hard to find a doctor to prescribe them as just a one time thing, with her not being their regular patient. It is highly possible that her new doctor won't want to prescribe them, regardless of the medical records she has. Does anyone have any ideas? ## Does anyone know of any physicians or pain clinics in south orange county that will Prescribe opiates (norco,...

I have dealt with chronic pain for years (2002). I have been meticulous about taking meds as prescribed, believing my PA wouldn't steer me wrong. For 8 years, I took 10/325 hydrocodone, six times a day.. It damn near killed me-not the opiate, but the Tylenol-1950 mgs a day. i changed doctors so I could get opiates w/o all the clutter of Tylenol. I was worried I would become a drooling junkie, waiting to rob a drug store. My new doctor started me on 15 mg Oxycodone (breakthrough) and two 60 mg Oxycontin; eventually increased to three 30 mg Oxycodone and three 60 mg time release Oxycontin. I've gone through a spinal cord stimulator implant, which has helped. I've been on same dose of meds since the implant in 2011. I make it work. sure, sometimes it would be nice to take an extra

i just went to my pain doctor for the first time under the new law, he wrote me a prescription for 2 months and said go to any pharmacy. i'm taking norco 7.5/325 took it to walgreens, and they filled the 60 day suppy with no problem. before my doctor was dispensing meds at his office. so this was the first time at a pharmacy. it went smooth but took about 30 minutes for first time red tape. ## Hello, Marc! How are you? I'm very glad that you were able to get your prescription filled without a hassle. The FDA classifies this 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. Is there anything I can help with?

I have a pain management Dr who has prescribed me soma for 3 yrs along with 8 mg dilaudid and klonopin. Last week I went for my visit and she said the Fed's will no longer let her give soma. I have lupus and fibromyalgia for 19 yrs and have been on these meds since 1998. I need to find a dr in DFW tx who can prescribed soma. Plz help.

My Doctor Always Tells Me It Is The Nature Of All Pain Medications That After Taking Em For A While Effect U Got First Seems To Start Decline This Should Be Obvious As Body Gets Used Get Less And Then Need Stronger Dosage So On When Are They Gonna Create Med Keeps Working Everytime Take Without Having Increase Same Or Amount Relief ## Due to the way the human body works, the answer to your question is never, it isn't possible for them to create one that will do that. Your body will eventually get used to any thing that you ingest regularly, from a medication to your morning coffee and the effects it had at the beginning will start to wear off. If you want the same effects back, you'll always have to adjust the amount you take in, switch to something else, or take a break from it...

Can this drug cause some one to bruise on any part of thier body. The patient is taking meds for pais with cancer. ## Neurontin contains the active ingredient Gabapentin, it is an anticonvulsant that is also used to treat certain types of nerve pain. It is possible that the bruising can be due to the Neurontin, but with such a medical condition, I am sure they are also on other medications/treatments, so it is very important that the patient's doctor be consulted to determine the problem. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi. I really don't know where to start but I'll give it a shot anyway. This is going to take a while so stick with me if you can. I am a 38 year old man now who was diagnosed with Osteo Chonritis Dissicans in 1986 when I was 11 year old. From the age of 23 to present day I have had 17 knee operations 10 on my right 7 on the left. I was on 100 mg voltarol a day for 17 years until last year when I went into Acute Renal Failure twice as a result of the voltarol even though id been to my gp several times before going into renal failure telling him i was not feeling well and for him to change my meds. It fell upon deaf ears. Now over the last 25 years have been on various painkillers from co dydramol, codine phosphate co codamol then my DHC dehydracodine and then tramadol. When I was...

I have breast cancer and going through chemo, I have not tolerated it well, my chemo plan is ACT,the side effects have been horrible and I have to work, I was hospitalized for staph and a blood infection, my oncologist decided to cut my chemo dose in half to help with all these side effets. Im on the last drug which is taxoen or something like that, but I am having alot of bone pain which I cant hardly take and I have to work and my oncologist will not prescibe me any narcotics, I have heard from many people that taking clartin-D along with a pain med immensely makes the bone pain better but my dr only tells me to take the claritn D which does nothing for me. How can I get some pain meds to get me through this last stage of chemo so I can work and not want to crawl in bed and stay there...

I live in Ky and been on pain meds probably 13 yrs but recently I was gave a script for tyneol 3 by my gastric dr and he knew I had a family dr prescribing loratab 10's but I filled the script for tyneol 3 and my family dr run a kasper on me called me and told me she can no longer write me any controlled substance scripts is this true? please help I am desperate ! ## Hello, I think your best option would be to ask your doctor why she can no longer write the prescriptions you need. What she prescribes is at her own discretion and if she says that she can't write a prescription for a certain medication, then she is allowed to do so. Maybe a new law was passed in your state that won't allow her or other doctors to prescribe certain medications. In the mean time, have you ever t...

I have fibromyalgia and take many meds, but the ones I seem to need the most are the pain meds, i.e. Lorcet. My doctor is like so many I read about here and afraid to give me too many but I do not know how to deal with the pain without them. Any suggestions on either how to cope with pain OR, his there a way I can get pain meds on my own, without a doctor's script? Thank you to all out there who suffer with chronic pain like me. Any suggestions/help are appreciated. ## My wife gets some relief from Cymbalta along with acupuncture and a special massage: that puts pressure on the trigger points. ## Thank you John.

I have piroformis disease/ sciatica. I've been having problems with my lower back for about a year. Herniated disc L4/L5. Before the sciatica, I went to the ortho and he gave me tramadol which did nothing... So my primary doctor gave me hydro 7.5 #20 as needed since I was in a second car accident (back pains started from first accident)... The night of the doctor visit is when the sciatic nerve started to cause pain. I went to the ER because I have sharp pains in both buttocks, and all down my left leg. Both feet are numb and I can not move my toes. I went to the ER. They gave me a shot of morphine, which knocked down my pain level from a 10 to a 3. They prescribed me Tylenol w/ codiene 300-60mg. I haven't got it filled because it's a Sunday. When I go back to the doctor tom...

I am originally from Ohio. For the last three years my husband has had to work in Florida. I really wanted to go with him this time because I was only able to see him for a week every six months. I made sure that I found a pain management doctor down here. I take morphine and dilaudid. I have done everything I was supposed to do. My problem is that no pharmacy will fill my prescription. If someone could please help me out, I would be very grateful. Where can I get this? ## Unfortunately, there is almost always a shortage of most narcotic pain medications for the last few months of the year, due to mandatory manufacturing limits. Do you have insurance? If so, then the best thing I can advice is that you contact them and see if they have a preferred mail order pharmacy that you can use. T...

Anyone wanted to get ride of thier porcocet I would be interested ## I'm sorry, but obtaining a prescription medication in this manner is considered illegal activity in the U.S., which is where we are based and the laws that we must abide by, thus we cannot allow this type of thing to take place, or be facilitated through our website. Have you tried consulting a doctor?

Is it safe to take 2 10mg hydrocodones every 3 hours? I am 24 and I am scheduled to have a total hip replacement on the 18th. For the past two days I have been taking 2 hydrocodones, 1 gabapentin, and 1 robaxin every 3-4 hours to keep my pain under control so I don't end up in the er like I did on Wednesday. So my question is, is it safe to be taking all of these every 3-4 hours? ## Hello, Kat! How are you doing? I am very sorry that you're in so much pain. If you're taking Norco/Vicodin that also has Acetaminophen in it, then it is dangerous to take that many in a 24 hour period. You can't exceed 3,000mgs of Acetaminophen per day. Taking more than that risks an overdose, which could be fatal. It is really best to not take more than prescribed. You may want to contact yo...

Hi, I am trying to find a pm that doesn't require injections. I've had every kind and the last 4 or 5 put me in the hospital because of heart and diabetes. Now current pm ended up with legal trouble because of her husband. Next thing I know she's saying my urine came up with methadone, which is impossible I've never ever taken it. She cut me back instead of released me. But if she really thought i was screwing up I bealive she would have released me. So before I'm left without I need a new compassionate doc in New Jersey. I am 50 with multiple issues that all cause pain. ## Methadone clinics can do wonders for you why not give that a try best of luck

Marazipe with lithium..thyroid meds..larazidine and 1/2 sleep aid. My stomache has started to ache and have to keep running to restroom. I have sopped nuts..popcorn..dairy... Very agruvating. ## Did you mean Mirtazapine? I'm unsure, because there are several similar medication names. Can you please check the spelling of your medications and post back? As reported by the FDA, most antidepressants can cause diarrhea and stomach pain as side effects, along with headache, dizziness and weight gain. Usually, such side effects are transient and taper off, as your body adjusts to the medication.

My husband has an abcess under his knee and it was cut and packed. What kind of pain meds should i ask for to help his pain once he goes home ## Hello, Yuvette! How is your husband doing? I'm sorry about the problem he's had. However, it isn't wise to ask the doctor for any specific medication. That is often viewed as being drug seeking behavior and will make most doctor's reluctant to prescribe anything. If he needs a pain medication, he should speak to his doctor about what to do for that pain, without asking for any specific drug. Is there anything else I can help with?
