New Orleans Doctor

Can anyone help me with the name of a doctor that is not afraid to prescribe soma? I understand my prescription can not cross state line. I have been told by walgreens it has to be a local dr. ## I did not know it has to be a local Doctor as Federal Law should apply. Seems that the State is meddling in places it has no right to be, and we the patients suffer. I know in California and Arizona Walgreens wouldn't tell you this, even though the Doc might? ## Hello, Susan! How are you? To explain this issue, Soma has become more strictly controlled, since it is very commonly abused, which means that the pharmacy stock limits now apply to it, just as they do for narcotics and benzodiazepines. Every pharmacy can only stock a certain amount each month, once they are out, they are out until ...

My daughter runs out of her script for suboxen tommorow. She has private insurance. I need a referral of a clinic that can get her in within 48 hours for at least a consultation on her options. ## Hello, James! Sorry for the dilemma that your daughter is in. However, Suboxone treatment can only be provided by a doctor that's been specially trained in its use, there are no general clinics per se that can treat with it. And the doctors that have the waiver to treat with it can only accept a very limited number of patients. You can check for other doctors in your area via the website, suboxone.com, but I don't think there's a very high chance of one getting her in within 2 days. Learn more Suboxone details here. What happened with the doctor that was currently treating her? ## ...

My previous doctor is no longer practicing and I have been a CPP for more than 20 years. For the last 7, I was prescribed 2-80 mg Oxycontin ER twice a day and 30 mg oxycodone every 6 hours for breakthrough pain. I have not been able to find a doctor who accepts my insurance, most want cash and the visits are sky high-which I wouldn't mind if I was getting prescribed a long-acting and short-acting pain medicine. If anyone has any decent PM doctors please reply. ## Hey, I'm in the same boat as you. I've been in PM for a while now taking oxymorphone er and oxycodone 30s. I'm from New Orleans but been living in Arizona while on PM. Moving back to Nola in a few months and I'm going to need a new PM Doc. Has anyone replied to your message with a good contact? If so, could ...

Hi. I'm looking for a pain management doctor in New Orleans/Westbank/etc area. I'm 27 and some places I called only accepts 35+. My Doc of 6yrs has cancer, so he transferred his patients. I recently found a Doc, but he doesn't prescribe soma, and reduced my pain meds. I rather just find a Doc in my area, than drive to BR each month for less meds. Thanks. ## Many Doctors do not like to prescribe Soma. You are also taking Pain Meds too? As you know pain medicine and Soma go together. Doctors know this too. Now that Soma a Schedule IV medication, you will find it harder to obtain. Still possible. ## Hi, Honey! I'm very sorry about the problems you're having. Unfortunately, even if I researched doctors for you in that area, I have no way of knowing what age or type of pa...

I'm looking for a compassionate doctor that will prescribe methadone in the New Orleans metro/Metairie area. Currently being treated at the UMC Medical Center in New Orleans for HIV. I'm prescribed Stribild, Adderall & Buprenorphine but I want to switch from Buprenorphine to Methadone. Please help!!! ## Hello, Nolaboy! How are you? Under current law, Methadone can only be prescribed for addiction treatment in a clinical setting by those specially trained in its use for such, thus it would be illegal for a private doctor to prescribe it. Thus, a clinic is your only option. The FDA classifies this medication as 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 ther...

I have been on suboxone for many years now and Im trying to find a suboxone doctor that accepts medicaid in the New Orleans area. Please help! ## They are few and far between! Although, I do know of a Doctor in DeQuincy, LA who prescribes Suboxone and also accepts Medicaid for the office visit. This doctor is extremely peculiar and is very, very strict.

Just moved back to New Orleans. Have been on Adderall and Clonapin for 8 years recently got off and need to get back on. Have PTSD and ADD. What's a good doctor that will prescribe me this if I am legit and have paperwork? I don't need a hassle. I know what works for me. Thanks. ## Hello, Robert! How are you? Due to the new regulations that were set forth by the DEA last year, you'll need to see a specialist to have such medications prescribed, so in your case, that would most likely be a psychiatrist. The FDA lists Adderall as being a stimulant that is most commonly used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy. It carries the risk of being habit forming and typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, weight loss and insomnia. Klonopin is listed as being a be...

I've had alprzolam prescribed to me before but I need help finding a doctor in New Orleans, Louisiana. Can anyone help me? If so, PLEASE reply ... Thanks ## If you suffer from anxiety and need a Benzodiazepine class medication (like Xanax), usually your best bet is to see a psychiatrist, rather than a regular medical doctor. Reason being is that they are better trained in the types of medications that handle these problems and many general physicians are reluctant to prescribe controlled substances due to abuse and the heavy regulations that they have to abide by from the government. If you do opt to see a regular medical doctor, some advice I can give you is to not specifically ask for any given medication right off the bat. Make sure to transfer or take a copy of all your medical ...

My pain management doctor has gone MIA (Dr. William Knight, Metairie, Louisiana). He has gone- there's no trouble reported to Louisiana Medical Board. Just gone. The 3 months worth of prescriptions he wrote me for Norco & MS Contin are almost gone too. I can't find a new pain dr. here (on the Mississippi Coast or New Orleans) who will take my Obamacare OR even take cash-pay patients. Additionally, I take a (low) dose of Xanax prescribed by the psychiatrist I began seeing with the onset of my chronic pain (bicycle crash). So, benzos, too. :-( Is there a doctor who will treat me in this new culture of pain medicine? I am really afraid. I am in my late fifties. ## Liz, I'm so sorry to hear of your predicament. Sadly,Even under ideal circumstances the concurrent use of benzo...

I live in Metairie, Louisiana and attend a methadone clinic 25 miles away everyday. I have medicaid and would love a doctor close by or a clinic that takes medicaid. I'm a single mom trying to stay clean from drugs and methadone works but $165 every week plus gas to and from clinic everyday is taking every penny to my name! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! ## I live in californa and here it's called medical and it covers the clinic.

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. My kids have medicaid but I don't. Thanks. ## Suboxone treatment is still pretty new, so I am not aware of any doctors that offer cheaper prices, because they do have to maintain special approval and monitoring to treat patients with it.

If you're looking for a cheaper alternative, you might want to check into Methadone clinics in your area, as it is usually much cheaper, since it's been used for a very long time.

Hi, does anyone know of any doctors in New Orleans that will prescribe Adderall IR 30mg? I used to get it when I lived in Manhattan, NYC from my regular physician. Since moving out here to NOLA, the doctors treat everyone like a drug addict making it very hard for people like me who aren't drug addicts and actually need the medication. My current Psychiatrist will only give me Adderall XR 30mg. It's doing nothing for me. The Adderall IR works better and is something like $40 cheaper than the XR. I don't have health insurance, so I use a discount card. If anyone knows of any physicians in New Orleans that will definitely prescribe Adderall IR 30mg, PLEASE let me know. My email is: {edited for privacy}

Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, if you require such a medication on a long-term ongoing basis, you'll need to see a specialist. A regular PCP will not be able to prescribe it for you. The best thing to do would most likely be to set yourself up with a new PCP and have them refer you to someone.

My mother and I just moved to New Orleans. I cannot believe the difficulty this town is putting g her through, first, to even get in to see a doctor, and then, one that will write her a pain medicine prescription that lasts more than a week and/or a Pain Management doctor that will accept her as a client. She is now in a struggle with the brand new, shiny and huge(privately owned) hospital downtown. The doctor she finally got..she is on disability, under United Healthcare...gave her a small script, then a very short list of PM doctors, some of whom turn out to not accept that insurance, who told her that if she could not find one, to just contact him and he would give her another script. Then he left town. Apparently, no one could communicate this, just keep telling her he was being giv...
