How To Write

Am in central FL & just lost my pain dr. after 10 yrs. I have several intractable pain conditions which means without pain medication I simply would be bedridden & slowly die. I have attempted to establish a new dr. to maintain my pain relief but have been turned away from over 10 now-not to mention the others whom my primary sent records to & they simply denied even an appointment for me. Am wheelchair bound & in extremely obvious pain (deformed arms, knees, back) but here apparently drs. licenses are more important than treating patients. I was actually told by one specialist he wouldn't write me prescriptions because he not want to lose his license. Others simply made excuses why they couldn't take me as a patient client. I had no problems until sept2012 then ...

I am disabled I have Part D insurance to help with my prescriptions the discount card is no good since I have the insurance so I have to pay close to $300 a month for my pills can you please help me in some way ## Hello, George! How are you? There is a program available that may help you, if you qualify, it's from the Patient Advocate Foundation and you can call them for more information, 866-512-3861. The FDA classifies this medication as being 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 you please post back and let me know if you have any luck? Thanks!

I have been on some sort of opiate for more than twenty years. Methadone mcompression frqaaintenance the whole nine yards. For the past five years I had ben doing well on suboxone however about a month ago I sustained two compression fractures and a cyst on my spine. I have a high tollerance and I need to find a doctor in N.E. Pa that will prescribe me a strong opiate like fyntanal or methadone for pain. Can anyone help me. ## Have you been taking Methadone and Suboxone for the treatment of drug addiction ? If you have, it is doubtful that you will be able to find a dr that will prescribe you pain meds.

Just wondering how the script would be written for K56 BID or PRN ## Hi Sara, Depending on the description of your pill, a round pink pill imprinted with "K 56" is identified as Oxycodone hydrochloride 10 mg. Manufacturer: KVK Tech Inc. National Drug Code (NDC): 10702-056 With regards to that information, I'd imagine that your doctor would simply write you a script for Oxycodone with that specific drug code or manufacturer in mind. Different doctors may write their scripts differently though, so I guess it's not really for anyone else to say how he or she might go about filling out a prescription form. Hopefully this information helps to answer your question! :) ## 50 2mg xanax 2pills nocte for sleep insomnia. 3 repeats.

Live in Shreveport La. ,got to methadone clinic need to find a doc that will write calonapin because in Texas the clinic Dr.writes but Sport doesn't ## Hello, Searcher! How are you? There are no listings of doctors according to medications they will or will not prescribe. And due to the new regulations that were put in place this year, if you require such a medication on a long-term basis, you'll need to see a specialist. General practitioners have been severely restricted in what they can prescribe, how much they can prescribe, why they can prescribe it and how long they can prescribe it. Klonopin is a benzodiazepine, so it has the potential to be habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Learn more Klonopin details here. ...

My doctor retired. Looking for Dr. or DO in Portland Maine area to treat chronic pain. ## Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, you'll need to see a pain management specialist for long-term ongoing treatment of chronic pain. Have you found a new PCP, yet? Having one that can refer you to someone would likely be the easiest way to get the help you need. 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. Does anyone else know of a good doctor in that area?

You can also ask your current dr for a referral. Pain Management Drs have pain contracts and routine drug panels. You will also need your medical records along with the diagnostic results for the cause of your pain. The dr will be the ones to decide what pain meds he gives you. Don't...

I AM IN LINDENHURST LONG ISLAND, NY. I AM LOOKING FOR A DOC THAT PRESCRIBES 30MG OXYCODONE WITHOUT BEING A STICKLER. MY LAST DOC IS OUT OF BUSINESS. CAN ANYONE GIVE ME A DOC NAME? I WILL SELF PAY ## Under the new regulations that went into effect on April 1st, doctors no longer have any choice but to be sticklers about prescribing such medications. If they aren't careful and don't very closely monitor their patients, they risk losing their license to practice medicine. And being a self-pay is just going to make it even harder. Most doctors and pharmacies will shy away from that in regards to controlled substances, because it makes it too easy for someone to doctor and pharmacy shop to get multiple prescriptions for controlled substances. I would also like to let you know that go...

On oxycontin 80 mg. twice a day. Ran out but need dr. to write rx. But need ins. to cover it. ## From what I understand, that it is usually going to be based on your doctor's discretion as far as trying to convince him/her to write you a script early. So that's really only something you can speak with your doctor about if you've built any sort of trust within your patient/doctor relationship. You can always just be upfront and honest about how your increased use of oxycontin. But just so this never happens again, you should always take your medication as prescribed and nothing more. Otherwise you'll just keep repeating the cycle and digging a deeper hole. As far as your insurance is concerned, I believe someone in another thread had recently mentioned that most scripts h...

Methadone is the only meds that help my pain.I am in Ga and my choices are go 75 miles to a clinic and I have a young baby, so if anyone can help it would be great...also I have 2 insur. Plans or cash...if someone knows where I can go please HELP!!! ## Me too. I hated Methadone because I was prescribed it by an ***** Doctor on 120 mgs. That was for 14 yrs. The withdrawal on that amount was 3 years long. I was suicidal and not at all myself. I went back on pain meds when my neck went back to needing sx. So my new pain doc tried two different pain meds. Neither worked, you can tell in 30 days. So he said, "how about a small dose of Methadone again?". Frustrated w/ pain, I said Yes. OMGosh, it was like my body had wanted it all along. I'm on just 5mgs. 3 x a day and at 65, it w...

Does anyone know of a good doctor that will write for oxycodone? Needs to be in Maryland. Any suggestions are appreciated. ## Unfortunately, no one can really know ahead of time what a doctor is or is not willing to prescribe, as that is based on the doctor's discretion and not on someone else's previous appointment (especially since many doctor's are now worried about losing their licensing for prescribing too many narcotics). Some advice I can give you is to not specifically ask for any 'specific medication' when you see a new doctor. Just make sure to transfer or take a copy of all your medical records with you. Then, the best approach in my opinion, is to discuss up front and honestly what has or hasn't worked for you in the past. Most doctors will take it un...

I moved from fort lauderdale to Naples fl and I have been on my roxy 30's for 4 years now. I'm and injured vet and have been in four horrible car accidents now to where I can't get out of bed without all my meds. So for the past 4 months I have to drive 5 hours just to get my meds filled. I don't have money like that and I have a two year old that can't stand the drive and she's right, it's not fair to her either. Are there any Drs reading this or anyone that may be able to help? I have all records. MRI's, cat scans, treatments. I don't know how much more I can do and if not for me help me raise my daughter.

I'm going out of state & my pain meds will be due when I'm there. I'm wondering if my doctor could just write me a 60 day supply of them? ## It really depends on what the medication is, some can be written for a longer period of time, but not all. The FDA warns that opiates may carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.
