Trying to find out how to get on pain medication for my back pain how to get a good doctor to trust and help me with what I need ## Hello, Kid! How are you? Well, to be honest, pain medication should be the last resort, after trying other options to solve your problems. They carry the risks of causing problematic side effects and many of them can be habit forming, such as opiates. Do you currently have a PCP that you see regularly? If so, that would be the best place to start, they can refer you for some exams and evaluations to see what's causing your pain and then refer you on to a specialist, if needed. Can anyone recommend any good doctors in WA?

I need a legit doctor that won't rip me off In the tacoma/Seattle area. Any help is greatly appreciated in advance!?? ## Hello, Becky! How are you? For addiction treatment, Suboxone can only be prescribed by doctors that have the special waiver to treat with it. You can search for doctors in your area by using the zip code search at the website, Suboxone.com. Their contact information will be included. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, drowsiness and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

I'm getting up in my yrs am 62 wish to find doctor who can prescribe dolphins don't really care for subutex but at this age to hard on me going into a clinic everyday for the rest of my life. Oh they don't cater to wheelchairs go figure. ## Hello, Debbie! How are you? If you've already been going to a clinic, then that is your only option. It would be illegal for a private practice doctor to prescribe it for you. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. I'm sorry, I know it's not the news most people want to hear, but that is the way the current law stands. However, if you're just looking for pain treatment and not...

Name: Ideal Option Suboxone Clinic Address: 415 North Morain Street, Suite B Tri Cities, WA 99336 Phone number: 509-222-1275 Hope this helps! ## Hi Sub, Thanks for that information. I'll add some additional information regarding Suboxone for anyone who is curious: Suboxone (Buprenorphine) is a semi-synthetic opioid that is used to treat opioid addiction in higher dosages (>2mg), to control moderate acute pain in non-opioid-tolerant individuals in lower dosages, and to control moderate chronic pain. It is available in a variety of formulations: Subutex, Suboxone (Buprenorphine HCl and naloxone HCl; typically used for opioid addiction), Temgesic (sublingual tablets for moderate to severe pai...

Been seen and treated for over 15 years same doctor with oxycontin and methadon , he relocated and now wants me to go to pain management doctors. Would like to find other primary care doctors that prescribe pain narcotics in Seattle ## Hello, Marc! How are you? Due to the new DEA recommendations that were issued last year, you'll need to see a pain management specialist to continue receiving such medications, PCPs will no longer prescribe them, unless its for a patient with intractable pain from a possibly fatal condition, such as stage 4 cancer. They could continue to prescribe them for patients they were already treating, in some cases, but most will not do so for new patients. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming ...

I had just moved to Washington state and in need of a honest pain Doctor who understands the truth about pain for the back?? ## Hello, In regards to finding a local pain doctor, I have listed below a couple websites specific to locating pain management doctors in a given area. All you have to do is input your city or zip code for narrowed results: {link removed because site no longer exists} You can give this other site a try too if you come up with different results for some reason or another: wellness.com/find/pain%20management%20specialist Many of the results you find (in one or both of the links above) also list a phone number for that specific doctor; I'd consider calling up a number of them to see if they are accepting new patients; some aren't, but most usually are.

I cant stand corepharma anyone know who carrys the barr/teva orange footballs. I know qfc does not any help would be great ## Hi, Tristan! I understand, I have had a similar problem with some generics myself, due to the fluctuations they are allowed to have. What I'd suggest is asking your QFC pharmacist if they can order the one from Barr/Teva in for you. I know they carry their products, two of my prescriptions were switched to the ones manufactured by Teva a few months ago from my local QFC which isn't too far from you. If you use their pharmacy regularly, you'll find that QFC can be very helpful and accommodating. Does anyone else have any ideas? ## Yes sir I sure do know who carries teva 30mg instant release tablets. they are orange football shaped stamped B 974 on one ...

Severe back pain - ptsd - severe head aches. Looking for a doctor, maybe VA. Will VA prescribe?.. Also they lost my medical records. ## Hello, Brandon! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in pain, no one should have to suffer. However, there is no listing of doctors according to what they will or will not prescribe that I can refer to for you. I know most VA hospitals have pain management programs, so you could try contacting them. Does anyone else have any ideas? ## VA will not prescribe opiates. My Dad suffers as well and they just overload him with NSAIDS and recommend neck surgery. We are not sure that would be a great idea for someone 70+ with PTSD and no discs between C5, C6 and C7 ## I can relate, also have ptsd and back problems, all i can say is this: getting on the opia...

Recently... my local Rite Aid switched their adderall manufacturer and it's caused me quite a bit of trouble. I noticed I got a slightly different shade of blue pill once, but I didn't think much of it and took it anyways. I started noticing that the effects weren't as strong and that I needed a lot more, often it flat out didn't work. I asked my doctor to increase from 15mg to 20mg. I went to fill the 20mg and I found out they changed the brand to Aurobindo. Really angry, I'm going through finals week and I literally have no medication that works right now. Aurobindo does NOTHING. I found out before I was on Corepharma generic adderall, it worked... amazing. Seriously, works perfectly for me. I know different generics affect different people differently, this one wo...

I need a Dr that excepts medicare as payment. I now am paying for methadone at an outpatient clinic because my insurance does not cover. However, I need methadone not for addiction reasons, but I have fibromyalgia. So a Dr. That prescribes it for pain will also work ## Hello Keekee! How are you? I'm sorry, but if you've been going to an addiction treatment clinic, regardless of why, the fact that it is an addiction clinic will be in your records and a private practice doctor won't be able to prescribe it for you.

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 have been getting pain meds from my doctor for years now, but he's affiliated with peacehealth and they have made so many restrictive policies in the last 2 years about their doctors prescribing pain meds that I need to find a new doctor that will prescribe so that I can preserve my quality if life and keep working and taking care of my child. Does anyone know a good pain doctor in Washington state preferably close to whatcom county?

I live in NE WA State and have Interstitial Cystitis and have been dropped by my doctor for no good reason. I have been a good patient, have never failed a U/A, and always came to my appointments. They said they were being "nice" to give me 30 days worth of pills to find a new doc.. Well, those 30 days are past and I have called all over the place. No one will take a chronic pain patient! I can't believe this! What country are we living in? If anyone has any suggestions, please, please let me know! I've stretched my pills that are left just about as far as they will go. I take Oxycontin 30mg 3 x day, and Hydrocodone 10mg 4 x a day. I cannot face the pain that will come when I run out.

We are in Washington state. My wife has psoriatic arthritis, endometriosis, and fibromyalgia. She was force tapered to 3 30mg oxycodone a day and can now barely get out of bed, let alone work. Washington law lays out that chronic pain patients are absolutely able to be prescribed more than 120 m.e.d., yet the doctors we have seen won't go over that limit. We are trying to find a Dr that is willing to bring my wife back up to the dose she was on that let her live her life, not be bed-ridden from pain. Does anyone know of a Dr that is caring and is willing to prescribe more that 3 pills a day? Thank you for any help you can provide us. ## If my math is correct 120 pills would 4 a day not 3. ## I am so fed up with the politics of this BS. The courts have determined that pain is subject...
