I am from RI, so if anyone knows a doctor who WILL prescribe oxycodone and Fentanyl patch I would appreciate the info. I was ill and missed an appt. with my PCP. He hates me and it is really bad.

Looking for doctors in rhode island that give the drug to help my daughter she has Bi.polor and takes meds now but I would like to try this med ## what RI doctor give out Ketamine ? ## There is no listing available of what doctors in any given location prescribe any particular medication.

In 2006 i broke my neck and was paralized from the neck down, 10 days later had spinal surgery and luckily my paralisis was able to be reversed.i was prescribed methadone FOR PAIN RELIEF. When my script ran out i went to my doctor only to find out he dosn`t deal with methadone prescriptions,was told to go back to surgeon who initially prescribed it and was told he couldnt help me because he was only my surgeon not my primary. I was given vicodin for next couple of years which never helped me with the pain i suffer with consantly from my accident. Finally 3 years ago i decided to go to a methadone clinic so i could get relief from my daily pain.i have a perfect clean record at my clinic i have take home statis have never had a dirty UA and just today my counselor told me i should go to a...

I live in RhodeIsland and was getting prescribed hydrocodone 10/325 100 every 20 days, my doctor cut me off. now i found another doctor and he`s prescribing me the same mg but 30 pills every 10 days and its not helping, I've tried talking to him and wants to put me on morphine or the patch i dont like them I feel like a zombie, and have 2 teenagers to take care of. does anyone know a doctor that would prescribe me the same medication and dose i was on. ## Hello, Mary! How are you? I'm sorry, but due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, there are limits on how much they can prescribe. The only exceptions are for patients with intractable pain due to a potentially fatal conditions, such as stage 4 cancer. Which patch did your doctor want you to try? There is mo...

My current doctor is moving to be part of a group that is far from me..I've been on Xannex for three years. I went to two different doctors straight out of google search, and they both said they don't prescribe that until they have several visits with the patient… I'm already starting to feel the withdrawals, and I feel I'm gonna start calling out of work it's getting so bad. ## Once you develop an established Doctor Patient relationship the provider might decide to prescribe them for you. If you have been taking it for years you should know how to spell Xanax by now. If you suffer bad withdrawal symptoms you will want to present yourself to an E.R. as this can be very serious. ## I have Xanax attacks throughout my life and I was on it for a couple years again....

I am looking for an MD or Pain clinic that will prescribe pain medication in Rhode Island. I have 4 herniated discs, nerve damage in my leg, severe migraines. My former Md said that he could not longer prescribe due to the regulations, I dont want to have to move, that would be crazy to have to go through that, but I also do not want to continue living night and day in Agony, with not one Md that has any compassion, it seems all they care about is to look out for themselves, I only take 2 pain medications that I believe are both in class 1, but when you talk to a doctor about pain, they tell you to take tylenol. I am tired of theses doctors just caring about themselves, if you have a patient like myself, that has the MRI's and Catscans to show what my pain level is, they should be a...

Hi! I have severe diabetic neuropathy, several amputations on both feet, and an ulcer on my one remaining big toe. I have been thinking of moving in with friends in Rhode Island. I am disabled, so I have Medicaid. Looking for a pain management doctor that takes Medicaid or one that is reasonably priced. But mainly I need one who uses pain meds. Shots don't work for osteo neuropathy (or not on me), and Lyrica only helps with the tingles/numbness. HELP! I'm on 2 60mg MS-Contin's two times a day plus 1 10mg oxycodone for breakthrough as well as Lyrica. ## Hello, Oneminuszero! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in so much pain. It might actually be easiest to find someone by setting yourself up with a new PCP, after you move, and then having them refer you to someone. Th...

I just moved to Texas from Rhode Island and have a sever myopathic disease which forced me into retirement. I use Humana for my prescrirption, and my RI Physician ha always ordered a three month supply, though I do not use all of it in that period. In Texas I am being told State Law limit the quantity to 30 tablets, though my RI physician, to bridge the gap in finding a Primary Physician, orders 3 month worth and the Walgreens in Texas fills the prescrptiion. What is the real Law in Texas; I cannot find it on the Internet.

I have chronic disc, bone, nerve damage have many other nerve, bone and tendon damage. Had injections, surgery and nothing helps. Going to a pain clinic in Rhode Island and love my doctor but wait is extremely long.

People in 14 states can now walk into a CVS and pick up an opioid-overdose antidote without a script, the company announced yesterday. Naloxone was already available in stores in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, but now Arkansas, California, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New Jersey, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, and Wisconsin join that list, CNNMoney reports.

Will hospital help when you lose a pain medication doctor. I'm in severe pain and extremely sick, it will take at least 6 weeks to get into pain management. I don't know what to do or where to go. Need help fast!!! Rhode Island ## Hello, Norma! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're in pain. A hospital will usually only help if you are in severe withdrawal that may put you in danger and, even then, they will only treat you until you are stable. They will not prescribe medications for chronic pain, in most cases, due to the new directives issues by the DEA last year. How did you lose your doctor? ## My 17 yr old granddaughter passed away, I was shaking and lost one. Right before that happened I gave up my home because my husband and I have too much family living with us,...

Looking for new doc taking new patients.lower back pain ## You would probably get more responses, if you posted at least your general location. While we are based in the U.S., our site is open to users anywhere, with internet access. Thus, if you are located in Rhode Island and I suggest doctors in my area, which is Seattle, it really isn't going to help you. Can you please post back with more information? ## Did you ever find one? I am looking as well. Thanks

I have had 5 back operations and none of them worked, I am in costant pain 24/7 and have no life. I don't want to take opiates because as we all know you can only take them for a small period of time. I am looking for a Doctor in Rhode Island that prescribes methadone for pain ## Hello, Kruzz321! How are you? Many people take opiates successfully for long periods of time to treat chronic pain, or if they have intractable pain due to possibly terminal illnesses, such as stage 4 cancer. There is no hard and fast rule that someone can only take them for short periods of time. Additionally, Methadone is an opiate narcotic, just like Oxycodone, Suboxone, Opana, Morphine and etc. It's actually known to be highly addictive and to cause very bad withdrawals and cravings, when someone ha...

I need a subutex doctor. I have hep B and need some help. Thank u ## Hello, Samantha! How are you? What is your general location? That would make it easier for someone to recommend a doctor for you, if they know of a good one in your area. This website is open to people worldwide, so if someone in Seattle knows of a great doctor, it's not going to be of much help to you, if you live in Rhode Island. 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. ## I Need help Getting off Norco pills and need a Dr in Tupelo MS. Please help.

is there a shorthage of ms contin and diladid in florida ## Jeff you get the problem figured out? I'm having a hard time finding a pharmacy with them as well. Would be great if I could find some help. ## I don't understand why there would be a shortage of MS Contin, and another medication you mentioned, but I'm sorry, I forget. Regarding the MS Contin, I used to take six 30mg tabs of time released Morphine Sulphate, and it was way too much for my little body to take.
