I need a doc that can prescribe me the medication that I am on. It is Subutex. My doctor is no longer a doctor anymore, he retired, but quite abruptly leaving all of his patients high and dry. I can't seem to find a doctor in West Valley City Utah that can prescribe Subutex. I have five small children and I'm in need of some desperate help.

I moved from Tennessee to Utah and need find a doctor here that will prescribe me exactly what I'm already on. i get 60 100mg morphine 2x a day and 30 200mg morphine 1x a day and 120 20mg oxycodone 4x a day. don't want start with new dr and him start me out on low dosage that's not gonna do me any good. i don't want waste my time. they can see my file so i don't see what the problem would be of giving me what I'm already taking. ## Hello, Renee! How are you? There is no database listing doctors that will prescribe any given medication, so I can't search for one for you in that respect. Do you have a PCP in Utah, yet? If you require such medications on a long-term basis for chronic pain, then under the new regulations, you'll most likely need to see a pain...

As I read through the sometimes heartbreaking threads, I find myself wondering why it is so hard from the Mid-West through the East Coast, to find a physician and or pain mgt DR to prescribe narcotics to us folks, the chronically ill??? So far, and God willing, it has not yet been like that on the West Coast, specifically California. Please shed some light, and better yet, what can I do to help? I could not imagine going through life without the aid and support of not only my pain meds, but my wonderful pain mgmt support team. God bless us all! ## Hello, Cherokeemama! How are you? I'm sorry, but I don't know what you could do to help. Yes, many people have been drastically affected by these regulation changes over the past year and it doesn't seem that it is over, yet.

I moved from TN to Utah and I'm having problems finding a doctor who is taking on new patients. I have been on 60 100mg morphine 2x a day and 120 20mg oxycodone 4x a day since 2009 after breaking my back in several places. Can anyone offer any advice? Even with being on disability supporting MRIs, X-rays, etc they still want to do another surgery. Unless something new comes out I'm not willing to try surgery again. I just want to stay on what worked and not have them say physical therapy or acupuncture will fix everything because it won't. Any suggestions? ## Live in Spanish Fork my doctor retired I need to find a doctor that will help me with pain medication. I've had 2 back surgeries and severe nerve damage

I need help locating a doctor to write me a prescription for Xanax and Percocet in Utah. I would even drive to Arizona if I had to. My doctor lost his license after prescribing these to me for 6 yrs and now I can't seem to find another doctor that will write for them or take chronic patients. ## Well, one of the biggest problems you're creating for yourself is due to the fact that you are looking/asking for specific medications. Regardless of whether or not they treat chronic patients, almost every doctor out there is going to view this as drug seeking behavior. A doctor expects to make the decisions on what the appropriate treatments and medications would be. The best thing you can do is to let your medical records speak for themselves. A doctor will be more inclined to follow ...

My prescriber wants me to take a very expensive psych med called Rexulti (~$1,100/mth), and tells me that Medicaid won't drop me for doing so. If you know Utah politics, they are still fighting ACA Medicaid Expansion and finding ways to reduce Medicaid programs such as PCN. I feel that if I take such an expensive medication, that puts a target on my back to be dropped at the first excuse. The state Medicaid office and pharmacies will not tell me how much each is paying, so I am left to guess if they have worked the price down, or if it's the bullet I think it is. As an alternative, I am thinking of taking its analog Abilify (aririprazole). But the problem is the same, they won't disclose pricing and Utah Medicaid refuses to pay outside Utah such as a Canadian pharmacy that s...

I drink 7 or 8 beers a day I can't afford to check into rehab I just want some benzos to clear the first couple of days of withdrawals do you know anyplace in salt lake city that will do this? ## I am interested in recovery it's just unpracticle for me to check into rehab right now and I will have family around me during my out of facility detox. ## I am really not sure how easy it would be to find a doctor willing to do so anywhere in the U.S. Benzodiazepines are a controlled substance and can be highly addictive themselves, so their usage must be carefully monitored.

I've had chronic pain for fifteen years and been on many types of medications, opiate and non-opiate. When I changed insurance and couldn't see my regular doctor, I ran out of fentanyl patches and oxycodone. I had never abused my medication, but after going through a few days of horrible withdrawals, I became desperate and made the dumb mistake of trying H. That was three months ago and I'm too ashamed and embarrassed to attempt to try a new pain specialist. I did go to a suboxone clinic for about a week, but the pain was too unbearable and I went back to the dope. I have really bad veins, plus I'm not good at inj's. so I have bad bruises and marks. I want to get on legitimate pain meds, even methadone if that's all I can get. I can't go on like this anymore ...

Anyone know a good Dr in Utah who can prescribe opiate meds? My husband has verybad bbulging and herniated discs in his back, arthritis in his spine and fibromyalgia and usually takes 60mg morphine e.r but since moving here we can't find a Dr that will fill his RX they all want him to do physical therapy when it doesn't work... ## Hello, Buddhagrl! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having. He might be creating part of the problem himself, if he's calling doctors or going to appointments and asking them to prescribe this medication. It is a highly addictive, controlled substance and most doctors will view that as being drug seeking behavior. What he needs to do is set up an appointment with a pain management specialist and make sure that they g...

I am moving back to Las Vegas from Utah (where they have about stripped me of all my meds) and I really need a doctor who will prescribe my meds. I am currently on Percocet 15, Morphine 45, and Soma. My amounts have been cut in half and I used to get morphine 60mg. My next visit they are cutting me off the soma. That is the only muscle relaxer that has ever worked for me. I was hurt when a ride malfunctioned at Disneyland (screwed by lawyer), which resulted in neck and back surgery and I also have Lupus and Crest Syndrome. I do not go an hour without being in pain. I am really having a hard time since they have cut me down so far so fast and I really need a doctor soon. I need one within the next couple weeks. Can anyone please help me find a doctor? I feel like I am going insane and al...
