Vegas Iran Nevada or close to?? Dylan/Peace

I live over 70 miles from any methadone clinic. I'm in rural Pahrump, a city with zero treatment options. I'm waiting on a hip replacement. Everything hurts so much right now. Only my husband is working but I have to drive since he has no license. He can't miss work in the morning and my clinic closes at 11:30 so we are loosing his hours at work paying about 20$ a day in gas and I hurt so bad after this I can only drive us to the clinic every other day. Because of this they won't raise our doses or ever give us take homes. This can't go on. I need to get my surgery and stay clean (we both are clean about 5 months. So Sahmsa has a exemption for people that are disabled or have jobs and no time to go to a clinic that is a 3 to 4 hour drive away. When we presented our c...

I would also apprciate knowing how strict Nevada is about prescribing narcotics. For instance; Do you need to personally see your physician each month for refills or can they be renewed at the proper time interval automatically, etc....?? Thank you very much for your help. ## The regulations for this are federal, not state level regulations, so they are the same in Nevada as they are anywhere else. If it is a straight narcotic, such as Oxycontin, Fentanyl, or something similar then you have to see your doctor each month and have a new prescription written. However, for most of the lower dose ones that incorporate a narcotic with Acetaminopen or Ibuprofen, you can have a limited number of refills and only have to see your doctor every few months. Are there any other comments or questions?

Hello, I tried for years and no one could figure out what was wrong with me then at the age of 11 years old. A herniated disk in my lower back, L1, L2 and L3 with a pinch sciatica nerve that runs through the pocket in each one of my butt checks. The pain coming from my back all the way down my sciatica through the dent in my butt cheek, all the way down there in the front of my shin, all way to my foot is killing me. I'm young and I want to take action again. Hopefully I can find a doctor that will prescribe me the same prescriptions that I was getting and then slowly bring me down from them because that is my goal.

Ok, I live in Las Vegas Nevada here is the question Why is so hard to get my Medication now a days? Since I came back from Michigan 2 years ago I've been living nothing but a hell life month by month getting my prescriptions refilled. I am a person who has always went the alternative medicine route until one day someone introduced me to a doctor who prescribed me Valium for adhd and sleeping. I've been on it almost 8 years and it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to get off. Also a drunk driver hit me and my knee's are shot and I need surgery on my back so the Doctor put me on Hydrocodone aka Vicodin. (The reason I put Xanax in the title is because I found out they are almost they same exact drug). Let me clear I don't want to be on these medications but now I HAVE TO BE thanks to...

I am looking for a psyc in Las Vegas Nevada. I have anxiety and panic attacks. My PCP won't prescribe it suddenly after years of prescribing me 6mg's a day. I have Amerigroup. Please respond. Thank you ## If the Psychiatrist is the only doctor that recommends marijuana in Las Vegas I'm sure you can possibly get Xanax as well. Not a good idea to tell them only the 2 mg Bar works for you, take whatever they offer.

My Family and I moved here over a year ago from Nevada where My husband and I were seeing a Pain Management doctor in which I was prescribed Pain Medicine, a Muscle Relaxer, Ibuprofen, and also did as I was in doing 2 Steroid Injections, that did nothing for my lower back pain at all, I also have Neck Pain, this was due to a car accident that we were in 2010, I was in 3 previous car accidents prior to meeting my husband, none at my fault one i was hit by a drunk driver, I also had back pain with twins that were born 17 days earlier via C Section 7 lbs each baby, and two pregnancy that were Hell on my Neck and Back during the pregnancies.... I wish we never left Nevada as we had a wonderful caring Doctor that actually did test MRI's , Discogram that was painful procedure from that I ...

Well, i guess they are out of the blues here in nevada or the pharm messed up but ive been getting 3 generic oxys a day, which work GREAT for me, i was overtaking the roxies these actually i can take every 8 hours w great results. well, stupid old me decided to be honest and tell this old man dr in nevada about the error. now he says i can only take them twice a day, which results in me feeling like s**t 8 hours a day. my question is are ppl typically / ever / commonly given 3 oxys a day, meaning every 8 hours? this man and i are about to battle it out, because i refuse to live in pain and detoxes when there's no need, and i could have said nothing and was honest...

Why is the availability of leflunomide nonexistant? No pharmacy in my area (southern Nevada) has been able to supply it to me since February 2011. ## What happened to leflunomide? It is not available anywhere. ## When I contacted the manufacturer of both Arava and Leflunomide I was told that the patent on Arava had expired. If some other company picks up the formula Leflunomide will be manufactured again otherwise only Arava will be available. Thus the cost for a 90 day supply goes from around 200 dollars to around 1600, Pretty tough when one is in the donut hole but makes a little too much to qualify for payment assistance. Big corporate rip off for those who can not take (or afford) any other RH meds. ## As of August, Apotex Pharmaceuticals announced that they had relaunched productio...

Where can i get my prescription norco 10/325 filled in las vegas nevada? ## having trouble finding a pharmacy that has NorCo in stock ## Got me, CVS has been sitting on my Rx for 1 week. Can't or won't say when it gets in also may not get 7.5mg/325's ## I'm sorry that you are all having a problem getting your prescriptions filled. On top of all the other changes that happened this year, we are also now into the time of year when there is almost always a shortage of controlled substances due to mandatory manufacturing limits. Once a company has manufactured their allowed amount of the year, they must cease production until the new year. So far, I've not known of a single year where demand hasn't exceeded the supply and a shortage happened the last few months of th...

So I recently moved here to South Florida (Cutler Bay to be exact) from Nevada and I have been taking 60 10 mg Vicodin a month for 7 years with no need for increase for pain from endometriosis. I brought my records and prescription bottles with me when I moved thinking I would have no problems transferring to a new long term Dr. who could fill my scripts. NO SUCH LUCK. Every Dr. I have gone to tries to fill me bogus Tramadol and tells me that there is no reason I should be taking Vicodin. They are making me feel like a drug seeker and absolutely refuse to give me my script. Does anyone know of a primary care or gynecologist South of Miami that is comfortable giving a legitimate pain prescription to someone in legitimate pain?! I'm beyond frustrated. It took me a long time to find th...

here guys i found something as I am also going thru what u are all going thru. projects.propublica.org/checkup/drugs/2954/states/nevada I need a dr who will prescribe, fentanyl patches 100mg, 14 a month, soma 240mg 4 a day, and oxycodone 30mg 4 a day, xanax. this has always done well for me too, i hate that other ppl have abused them. I feel that ppl who dont have problems with them should continue to get them with no problems. ## Unfortunately, doctor's hands are tied on these matters, due to the new regulations that were set forth by DEA last year. They are restricted on how much they can prescribe of any given controlled substance and why they can prescribe it. I understand your frustration, but you're not going to be able to go into a new doctor and ask for specific medicati...

I have been on Zoloft for several years now. I neglected to bring it with me when I drove down here to Southern California from Nevada, where I live. Can my doctor in Nevada call a prescription for this medication in to a California pharmacy? If possible, please reply ASAP, as I am now out of the medication in question. Thank you. ## California does have laws pertaining to filling out-of-state controlled substances, but since sertraline (zoloft) is not a controlled substance, I don't think you'd run into any problems with your doctor calling it in to a specific pharmacy location, such as CVS, Walgreens and other multi-chain drug stores. I would just encourage you to call your prescribing doctor and see what he/she is willing to do for you. Hope everything gets sorted out ok! Ple...

My script for hydrocodone was written by my doc in washington. I am currently in California, and they will not refill. Does Nevada or Idaho honor out of state scripts for same? ## Hello, Jerry! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. Unfortunately, it's going to be very difficult to find a pharmacy that's willing to fill an out of state prescription. There are two reasons for this, the first being that it is much harder for them to validate the prescription to ensure that it's legitimate. The second reason is due to the fact that pharmacies are limited, by the DEA, in how much of any given controlled substance they can order in and stock each month. This means that most will only fill prescriptions for people that live locally. Many even require ...

I live in Sioux Falls SD and I am trying to find a doctor that will prescribe pain meds. I had a pain management doctor that prescribed 4 10 mg hydrocodones a day, but moved to Nevada. Now I have moved back and she is full and can’t see me. I have arthritis, spinal stenosis, fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disorder and a spinal fusion. My doctor keeps sending me in for epidurals for my lower back, and they sometimes work for two or three months, but it doesn’t help with the pain every where else. I work 10 hour days and barely make it through. Thinking about filling for disability, but I know it’s a long road. ## Very few, if any, people will recommend pain Doctors because that will normally cause too many people to come to them. The Doctor may think that they have bee...

I started treatment on methadone 1 year ago and it has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. I have my life back. I am have been to clinics in CA, NC, and now south carolina. Reno Nevada was pretty lax with take homes but now after transferring to sc with the same company I thought by transfering to same clinic in a different state I would keep take homes. Its the most important thing in my life to get take homes. I absolutely hate going in every day to dose. I am looking for any coastal city (I am a surfboard shape) that has a good clinic with relaxed take home approvals. I'm clean almost always but consume cannabis sometimes cause no one will prescribed me my kpins while im on methadone. California didn't even test for cannabis, but I had no take homes cause that...

I am living with sickle cell anemia. My doctor for the last 10 years has prescribed me with oxycontin. Now my doctor is changing fields and will ne doing botox treatments and he will not write out anymore prescriptions. Does anyone know of a new doctor I can get my medication from in Las Vegas, Nevada? I do not abuse them but I do need them for server pain I have in my bones. Please help!! ## Have you tried asking them if they have a doctor they can recommend for you? In most situations of this type, doctors will look for someone else too take over their patients, rather than leave them out in the cold. Otherwise, have you considered trying a pain management specialist? That might be your other best option, since they are specially trained in dealing with this type of health problem.
