Reno Nv

I am on 2 different meds (soma and Percocet) plus Xanax for extreme panic attacks. The soma is because I have at least two disintegrating discs and bad arthritis in my lower back. the Percocet (which I never even asked for, they just gave it to me) because I have bad arthritis in my knees, my hips my hands and my neck. I asked if there were any over the counter meds to help but because my kidneys are in bad shape I couldn't take anything like advil, ibuprofen or steroids. Also my nephrologisy has said that I need to keep my blood pressure down and when i'm in pain or having a panic attack (which happens several times a day) my BP goes up. now I have to practically beg for these meds and am treated like a drug addict UA's and all which is a pain because my husband has to take...

I live in Susanville ca. Was going to my Dr. For 20 years and was on Methodone which gave me my life back after 2 back surgurys, 22 knee surgurys then finally a knee replacement, now I have to have my other knee replaced. The DEA came into my Dr. Office and took his licence to give any narcotics away. I was forced to go cold turkey cause no other dr. In town would take any of my Dr. Patience out of fear. I am in horrible pain, and depression is now so bad I am struggling not to find a way to die. This is no way to live. I am looking at a knee replacement with no pain relief. Where are are rights? Doesn't DEA relize.lol there going to make everything worse on the streets? Heron use will go up, people robbing will go up etc. I am so sick of all this. People die because there stupid an...

was getting methadone at a clinic but got medacare and cant go back they don't take madacare need to find new doctor in reno nv ## Hi, Andrew! How are you? I'm sorry, but a regular doctor can't prescribe Methadone for addiction treatment and, if you were going to an addiction clinic, regardless of why, that's what it is now listed under in your medical records. A regular doctor can only prescribe it for severe pain. Once you've been in a clinic for treatment with it, that is where you have to stay, under the current laws. I don't know what insurance they accept, or what Medicare covers, but you could use the search feature at Suboxone.com to see if there is a doctor in your area that treats with it and call them to see if they accept Medicare.

was going to clenic was getting 10 mg methadone they wont take medacare now cant get a doctor to help me ## Hi, Andrew! Sorry about the problem that you're having. However, if you were going to an addiction clinic, even if it was for pain treatment, then that is what is in your medical records and a regular doctor can't prescribe Methadone for you. Once you're listed as being under addiction treatment, you can only get it from those that are specially trained in its use and under current laws, a private physician can't prescribe it for addiction treatment. Learn more Methadone details here. You aren't the first person that's run into this problem, there have been quite a few other posts about it, because many people in severe pain who were having trouble getting ...

was getting methadone at clinic but they wont take medacare need doctor in reno nv help ## Hi, Andrew! Sorry about the problem that you're having. However, a private physician isn't allowed to prescribe Methadone for addiction treatment. Even if that's not why you were going to the clinic, that is what it will be listed as in your medical records, so no doctor can prescribe it for you. Doctors that aren't trained to use it for addiction treatment can only prescribe it for pain. Have you tried to see if there are other clinics in your area that accept Medicare?

i was geting methadone 10 mg at a clenic then got medacare couldnt go back to clenic now no doctor will give it to me also smoke pot reno nv ## It sounds to me like none of the doctors/clinics you're going to are accepting medicare. I would just suggest visiting your local Human Resource Department; as they should be able to link you up with a directory full of local physicians who are accepting that type of insurance. Otherwise there would be no need for Medicare if no doctors ever accepted it. You could also ask the doctors/clinics that you already visited, for a referral to a new physician. That way they can also transfer all of your medical records at the same time. I hope this helps! ## Medicare should cover methadone maintenance, plus they have $ pay as you dose policy, wich i...

Why can't I get ActivOn at Walmart or anywhere else any longer? It doesn't have a lingering odor and works well with my nerve pain. ## I'm in Cheyenne, WY. Activon is a topical ana[gesic. it is It is distributed by FAMILLY FIRST PHARMACEUTICALS. INC, RENO, NV. It ihelps with my nerve pain and shoulder pain . I haven't been able to get it at any WALMART or WALGREEN in about a month. why has it been taken off the market? ## I cannot confirm it, but I have noted some rumors from people on various sites that it has been discontinued. I checked several websites, and so far, they all list it as being out of stock, and they do not know when/if it will be available, again. As to why they may have removed it from the market, I haven't been able to find any information on that...
