Louisiana

are there any pain medicine doctors in Alexandria Louisiana who take cash only? I have been in pain for 25 years, and with the new laws I cannot get help! I'll pay cash! I need help! ## SWIM, all you can do is call all the pain management drs there and ask. You will need a copy of current medical records with medical proof that there is a reason for you to need pain meds.

I need a new pm doc anywhere in Louisiana or nearby state asap. I have med rec;s and legit pain but my doc got n2 trouble and cannot prescribe my meds any longer. ive been on oxy's for years and cant find a doc who will take my case. ## The first question I always find myself asking people in your situation is... How have you been looking for a new doctor? And the reason I'm asking is because if you're calling them and telling them you need to have certain medications prescribed, none of them are likely to even let you get in the door, because most doctors will see that as drug seeking behavior. Learn more pain management details here. Thus, what you need to do is set up an appointment with a new doctor and just make sure they get a full copy of your records. When they see w...

Please help me. I am in need of a doctor in or near Mandeville Louisiana who will put me back on Xanax. I was on it for four years till I lost my insurance. I am now back on my insurance through amerigroup and need help finding a physician who will put me back on Xanax and cover my visit and prescription with my current insurance provider, which again is Amerigroup. If anyone can help me please let me know something ASAP. {edited for privacy}. I'm trying to get in there immediately, thanx. ## James, you need to go the the Amerigroup website and call psychiatrists that are listed. You also need to be aware that most of the drs that are listed do not take Medicaid Only, they take Medicare And Medicaid. It will more than likely take you a while to find psychiatrist that is accepting ne...

As of August first 2014 somas are a schedule 2. Thank for telling me doc with the five refills. I had been on them for 7 years. ## I don't know who told you that Soma is now a Schedule II in Louisiana, but they are wrong. ## James, I apologize, you are correct. Soma is now a Schedule II in Louisiana. Some in combinations with Codeine Schedule III. It is everyone responsibility to keep up to date on proposed and changing laws, federal and state. ## Why would plain Soma be a 2 and Soma with Codeine a 3? Remind me to stay out of these hick States. In my State the Controlled Schedule 1 drugs are made in homes and apartments and there is nothing done about it. Why? ## U need to check with any pharmacy in Louisiana ## James, Senate Bill 618 is what changed the classification of Soma. Put,...

Is the lake charles methodone clinic liquid or pill form and do you have to everyday when u start and for how long oh and if I switch from bureaux bridge clinic can I stay at my same dose and still get my take homes. ## I'm sorry, but there are several in that area, so I'm not sure which one you're asking about. However, if you know the name, you could look up the number to call them and ask. 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. Is there anything else I can help with?

For anyone who lives on Louisiana- Are you having problems finding care through Bayou Health (Louisiana Medicaid) ? For example, you choose a pcp and/or specialist that the Plan has listed and tells you over the phone they are listed. But when you go to make a appointment, the drs office tell you they do not accept medicaid or they only accept medicaid if you're Dual Eligible (Medicare and Medicaid) (Dual Eligibles Do Not have to enroll in Bayou Health as of 2013) Or you have problems getting a referral from your pcp or having x-rays, labs done. The three Pre-Paid Plans are Amerigroup Real Solutions, LaCare, Louisiana Healthcare Connections. The two Shared Saving Plans are Community Healthcare Solutions, United Healthcare ## I'm sorry that you're having such issues finding a...

I am searching for a good pain management doctor in Louisiana. The only pain medication I can tolerate is Methadone. ## You will need a copy of your medical records from your previous dr. There is no guarantee that another dr will prescribe you Methadone. When someone asks for a specific drug, it is a red flag or drug seekers. So it might be best to get an appointment and see a dr and take your medical records. You might have to see them for a few months before you will know if they will prescribe you Methadone. ## I have been in chronic pain for more than 17 yrs. since 2000.

Please, I need names of clinics or doctors desperately, one who will take medicaid. ## Hello, Tt! How are you? There is actually a search engine on their website that will allow you to search by zip code. You can find it at Suboxone.com click here. The doctor's contact information will be included, so you can contact them to see if they are taking new patients and if they accept Medicaid. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction. It carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation and dry mouth.

Looking to find others like me to become friends.

Hi I'm in search of pain management in La. I'm 36 years old I've been on methadone 120mgs daily for right at 10 years and rxc 30s for breakthrough pain and I call my Dr to verify my appointment and the nurse tells me..... yes but just to let u know he can't write narcotics anymore.

I live in south Louisiana and I am looking for a good pain management physician, someone who will prescribe pain medication.

Thank you for your help in any way. ## Put Pain Management Doctors and your city and state in google and the names of the drs in your area will come up. You can also go to websites like Healthgrades and Vitals to find the name of pain management drs in your area and things like the education and training of the dr.

I was taking 2 Adderall XR 30 mg. (60 mg total) very morning for years. I called for a refill a few months back and when I picked up the script, it was for Adderall IR. I questioned why the XR wasn't prescribed and the know it all NP told me that Adderall XR was NEVER given in that dosage and I was the first to request it. She said it was illegal to prescribe 2 Adderall XR to be taken in one day. She said that by taking two XR's that I was continually getting the medicine in my system 24 hours. I told her that I took both at the same time in the morning and she just freaked. Now, I see no difference...30 mg. Instant release in the morning and another instant release in the afternoon vs 2 30 (60mg) mg time released once in the morning with 30 mg released and 30 mg later. She babb...

I am looking for a doctor who prescribes suboxone in the New Orleans, slidell Louisiana area. I am a single mom with no insurance, can't afford 350 a visit and prescription cost.
