Thorough education by my Pain Management Board Certified Doctor, and his Physician Assistant. The reason Doctor's like Methadone, is it reacts dually as both a traditional narcotic pain reducer, as well as working on NERVE pain. Very few narcotics work on Nerve pain. Usually you have to add Lyrica, or a step therapy drug such as gabapentin or Topamax. So its two birds with one stone. Also, methadone, at therapeutic doses, is lower in amount necessary to work, hence less side effects, including brain fog, dopy, or constipation.This is the same reason Pain Specialists prescribe (or did) Oxycodone. It did not work on nerve pain, only like a traditional strong narcotic, however was much less sedating. And all our goals are to be more active and live our lives with friends and family. An...

hello, I have.been on methadone for ten years and allergic to suboxone so I need to find a Dr. that writes for methadone for painccan't afford clinic anymore. ## Hello, Kim! How are you? I'm sorry, but if you've been going to an addiction/maintenance clinic, then that is your only option. It is illegal for regular doctors to prescribe it for that. Even if you need it for pain, the fact that you went to the clinic is in your medical records, so no one will be able to prescribe Methadone 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. What are you allergic to in Suboxone? Have you ever tried Subutex? ## Thanks for ur reply and I have talked to two d...

So I'm in a rehab and on methadone. There is a female here "jen" who WAS on methadone a few years ago...so one day after going to the clinic on her way home she gets into a car accident and the other cars driver dies, it's not the victims fault either, it was jens....Jen is saying it was the clinics fault, that they double dosed her. Apparently the computers were down blah blah blah. I really don't buy it that she was double dosed. If they manually dose u, they have another nurse right next to them verifying the dose.... My question: Is there really a way for drs to test her blood to see she had double the amount of methadone in her??..she's adamant she was double dosed and takes no ownership in her accident..

Hello. I am a 26 year old male who has been struggling with opiate addiction for about a decade. Recently I tried the suboxone program which helped to a degree, but meds were way to expensive as well as the Drs appointment. So I am looking for help with my disease and I would like to know if methadone is the right route for me to go. Thanks ## Methadone does help many people and it can be cheaper than Suboxone, however, you will more than likely still have to visit a doctor or clinic regularly. The main drawback to Methadone is that it can also be quite an addictive substance and people that is use it usually end up requiring a lifetime maintenance dose of it, while Suboxone can be slowly tapered and enable the person to eventually become completely drug free. Have you tried consulting ...

I have been prescribed methadone 10mg 360 tabs a month for chronic nerve damage in my back and right leg. Ive been prescribed methadone for 4years by the same doctor. Just this month my Dr has been ill and has canceled all appts. What should i do? Do you know of any drs. In northeast Ohio that would be able to help or what steps should i take? ## Hi Tod, How are you? Sorry to hear about your situation with the doc being ill and out. Does he not have any backup physicians to take his place while he is away from the office? I would probably talk to the receptionist there just to be sure on that... because they may be able to get you in to see another doctor temporarily just to help keep things in order. And if he treats other pain patients, I'm sure you wouldn't be the first one t...

Is it legal for a doctor to ask for a pill count, if he/she is not the prescribing Dr.? The Dr. that does perscribe the pills knows that I am going to the clinic, and the clinic Dr. has already had contact with the Dr that prescribes my meds, And, btw, my Dr found the clinic Dr very insulting and offputting. All is above board, and I'm not trying to hide anything from the clinic Dr. But there are two Drs., (very young women), at the clinic that really treat patients like criminals, rather than desparate people seeking help for their disease. Also, any documentation I bring in always seems to get "lost" before it's entered into my paper and computer file.(Of course I always have copies!). ## Hello, Mz Q! How are you? Yes, they can ask for anything of the sort that they wa...

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 ...

Which are you looking for? ## Moved to Arkansas last year from Texas and drive 6 hours every month for a doctor app...

i need to know what medications will cancell my methadone i take for pain relief ## According to interaction checkers, Methadone interacts or conflicts with over 700 different types of medication. If there is any specific drug or drugs that you intend on taking with methadone, I can look this information up for you and let you know if they interact. It would be a nightmare trying to track down and post over 700 possibilities. ## Klonopin, geodone, ## My wife is doing weekends in jail, she is on 40mgs of methadone, seroquil and lamictal, she came back positive for pcp and marijuana or spice even though she does neither. can taking these drugs together make her come up falsely for this? ## U CAN take klonopin while taking methadone.

I'm paying $81 a week and just can't afford to keep that up please let me know if there are Drs out here that will write a script ## Hello, TRay! How are you? I'm sorry, but under current law, Methadone for addiction or maintenance can only be given in a clinical setting by those specially trained in its use, thus a clinic is your only option. It would illegal for a private practice doctor to prescribe it for you.

Hello everyone who is one methadone and wants to get off. I was on methadone for 6 years....I wanted to get off so I went to a rehab and did a 30 day suboxone detox getting down to 1 mg for the last 3 days. After 2 days off suboxone I started to get sick once again and decided to get back on methadone. That lasted for about a year before I had finally had enough. I did research and did a 16 day detox from 108 mg to 0 with minor side effects compared to the hell I know methadone withdrawal can be. This is what I did and it worked for me. I can't believe drs aren't talking of the benefits of DXM. Every day before dosing I took 100 mg of Dxm, and drank a few cups of grapefruit juice, the juice increases the effects of the methadone because it inhibits the enzyme that metabolites it...

Hi my name is Lisa. I posted a question a few months ago and I stumbled upon some answers and now I can't find the link. I live on long Island and have been prescribed methadone for over 8 years from my pcp but due to all the drs getting in trouble he will no longer let the pa write it for me. It's for pain and I'm having a terrible time trying to find a dr to write it. I have all my records so that's not a problem. If there is anyone out there that can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
