oval shaped pill ## Sorry, you have not provided enough information. This drug is available in both name brand and generic versions. There are many generic manufacturers and each one of them will make a pill that looks different. There are no rules saying that pills with the same ingredient have to look the same! The size, color, shape and imprint will all vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. The only relevant regulations from the FDA state that they must have unique imprints for identification purposes, but these will even differ by manufacturer and strength of the med. In order to identify your pill for you and tell you what it is, you need to provide the complete imprint from the pill, all letters, numbers and/or symbols that may be on it, as well as the color and shape. Then I ca...

i'm looking 4 a dr who can & will prescribe methadone i've been on 9yrs for chronic pain but cannot find new dr. is buying on the internet from out of country all i can do? i live in greenwood in ## Hello, Julie! How are you? There are 2 reasons you may be having a problem finding a new doctor. The first is if you're calling new doctors and asking them if they'll prescribe it, they will view that as drug seeking behavior and, in most cases, they won't even let you get in the door. And the next also has to do with asking them about, if they possibly think it's for addiction treatment, they have to say no, since private doctors aren't allowed to prescribe it for that. In other worse, regardless of which one is applicable, you need to just set up an appointm...

I am trying to help my father find a doctor in northern Kentucky, zip code 41016. He has been on methadone for twelve years for drug addiction. He is now trying to get off of the methadone because he can no longer afford the clinic he was going to. He is trying to find a doctor to help him get off methadone. Please, any help in any direction would be greatly appreciated. ## Hello, Lindsay! How are you? I'm sorry, but if he's been taking it for addiction treatment, or maintenance, then a clinic is his only option. Private doctors are not allowed to prescribe it for that, even if he's just wanting to taper off. I'm sorry, I wish I had better news for you, but I don't. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, ...

Trying to find doctors near Devon and Western in N Chicago that can prescribe methadone for pain treatment. ## Any doctor can prescribe it for pain, however, you may run into problems if you're calling new doctors and asking if they'll prescribe it, since most doctors will consider that to be drug seeking behavior.

And if you're a chronic pain patient that requires regular treatment, then a regular general practitioner will not be able to provide you with treatment.

class work -however i am having trouble finding this ## VA had me on methadone for over 15 years. ..volunteered for methadone cessation with the VA because I kept going into DTs because USPS/UPS kept delaying my meds. Sometimes it would take a week to get my RX. ....then, when I dropped below 25mg, the cramps diarrhea and associated pain was causing me to be suicidal. I can't get a doctor's referral because VA doctors don't work with "outside" doctors. Of course, they won't allow me to withdraw from the program now. My God, I wish I were dead. Is there any hope for me? The CDC(? ) are on a witch-hunt now for any doctors giving narcotics to patients who are not considered terminal now. They just closed a very good doctor's practice down because he prescribed n...

I am new to the methadone and was wondering why my doctor would put me on methadone when he knew I had been addicted to Oxycontin before and had to go into the hospital for the withdrawals. They put me on the liquid methadone to get me off of the Oxycontin. How bad is it going to be to get off of the methadone if that time ever comes? Anthony ## Probably a big challenge to get off, Methadone is in itself addictive. Rob Check out the other Methadone Discussion on this site some of the other posters provided really good info. ## Anthony, I was once addicted to Oxycontin. There is a new drug out in the market that can be prescribed by a doctor. It also can be given in the privacy of your doctor's office. The new miracle pill is called, Suboxone. It changed my life. It detoxes you, sto...

if i take a methadone in the morning then do an oxy later will i still get high on the oxy ## Doubledizzle..How many MG's of methadone are you taking? Methadone will block any other narcotic if you are taking it for addiction, if you are taking it for pain, you are likely taking a lot smaller dose, so the methadone won't block other opiates unless you take them together, and that is just a guess on my part. When I started Methadone Maintenance, it took a long time to find my blocking dose, so if you are on it for addiction, it takes time, keep working on it with your doctor at the clinic,. If you are taking it for pain. this doesnt apply Pat ## Doubledizzle, why are you wanting to get high on oxy?? Pat

I was asking if they make a 7.5 mg generic methadone pill? It is a white round pill with no markings except for a score line in the middle on one side ## Hi lois, Here in the U.S. the lowest I've seen online are only 5 and 10mg generic doses. I can argue though that there is an article on a study done here in the states, where cancer patients were randomly assigned to receive methadone 7.5 mg orally every 12 hours for 4 weeks. So I do believe it is available, but maybe only prescribed under specific circumstances. I could be wrong, but as of yet I have not come across anything stating otherwise. Did you order your pill from overseas? ## IN THE U.S there is no such thing as a 7.5 methadone tablet, only 5mg and 10mg, and of course the 40mg disk, the clinic's give out, ive been on ...

How are you? There are a couple of issues that you should be aware of… The first is that such a medication cannot be prescribed online. Law requires that a doctor evaluate a patient, in person, regularly, before prescribing controlled substances. The second is that if you have already gone to a clinic, then that is in your medical records and no regular doctor will be able to prescribed it for you. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has t...
