Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 268)

I have a serious problem. My dr. had two patients start dr. shopping and has decided it is too big of a pain in his butt to continue prescribing, even though I have gotten MRIs and Xrays to prove my problems. I have over a half a dozen herniated discs in my low back, along with degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, scoliosis and arthritis in my facet joints. I am currently on5 30mg oxycodone a day for breakthrough and 60mg of methadone for my long lasting meds. I REALLY need a doctor in the Denver, CO area who will not judge me because of my age, thinking I'm just some drug seeker as I TRULY need my meds to function. I am even being placed on disability until I can get my back healed because if something doesn't change I will be in big time pain for the rest of my life. If ANYONE knows of a good doctor that prescribes strong meds willingly in the Denver area please let me know. I am in desperate need of help as I am going to be SCREWED if I cannot find a good doctor. SOMEONE please help me with a doctor!!!!!

yes I did Tammy!!!! And thank you Tammy for saying the same thing I said. If they just drop you there is OBVIOUSLY a reason. I'm 22 and have 6 back conditions. They didn't just drop me. We changed things around and figured it out. That's what I'm saying. my OC was dropped by 2 but my methadone was increased. They are still keeping my pain under control well!!!!! I agree that they are following strict protocol to protect themselves and the real chronic pain patients.

Just wondering mac did you also have to fill out the questioner they are now handing out asking about if anyone or you have been addicted or abused meds, or alcohol, or if you worry about running out of meds or count them, ect....? or is that something new that just started probably this week.

They have a questioner that they are doing now, to see who is at high risk and are changing to long acting meds for people on high doses of oxy ir which a lot of people are upset with but if I was on a high dose I would rather be on a long acting med if we could find one that works and I wasn't allergic to. So I am guessing that people who are high risk are getting the no on oxy period and others on a high dose are getting more of the long acting meds instead. I agree with how they are doing things now and they are actually getting the people out of their office that don't belong and could possibly keep us from our right to be pain free. The ones who have stayed are the people trying to work with them and are not just seeking, like u said mac its not an oxy clinic. They will work with you but if you require a high dose of oxy ir (example: 20 or 30 mg at one time) they will put you on a long acting med which is how it should be.

I think you'll be good Tam. I am fine. Like I said it's if you're ONLY on IR OC and claim to have chronic pain that isn't how it's supposed to be treated. My OC got dropped but they made up for it with methadone. Dr. MAy is protecting himself and he should. There are WAYYYY too many drug seekers out and about in this country so the DEA is getting involved. Too many people can't handle what they're given, come in early, take too much and die. There were 15,000 deaths last year from pain meds. More than cocaine and heroin combined!!! I'm honestly glad they're clamping down.

So all you can get is 3 oxy ir's so since I take mine 4 times a day but 2at a time on 2 of 4 of them times then really they can give me the 10mg ones that I can cut and still have my er naproxen cause it is a er med. They would still be doing what they are needing to do for dea cause I am on a er med and my oxy ir 4 times a day but only be filling for 90 as if I was only taking 3 a day. Not so bad if they will do that which dr. May said he had no issues before upping it to 10 mg if I wanted before. What do you think mac?

Dr. May is saving his ass. If doctors don't listen to the DEA they get shut down and lose their license which they went to school for like 20 years to get. If you're ONLY on oxycodone and claim to be a chronic pain patient they won't prescribe it. The DEA is going around telling doctors that if patients have chronic pain they need to be on an Extended Release medication and a MAX of 3 Instant Release meds per day. That's why if you're ONLY on Oxy IR they're taking you off of it. If you asked to go to oxycontin they would let you I bet. And Purdue's patent is up as of April so the generic Oxycontin will be back. And as of now Oxymorphone ER (OPANA) is available too. there are other drugs. If only Oxy IR works for you, then idk what to tell you because all doctors are cracking down on it incredibly hard. They are the #1 abused drug in America. People are dying left and right. And when you're not willing to work with the Dr. in any way shape or form it usually doesn't work out well. I am on a higher dose of methadone and I still have 3 Oxy IR for breakthrough, as chronic pain is supposed to be treated with a long acting med and a small amount of breakthrough. I'm not calling anyone addicts or WHATEVER anyone wants to say in response to this, I'm stating the facts of what is happening in our state right now. It's getting almost as bad as Florida. SOOOO many more people are on heroin now because of everyone going into doctors to get oxys to just make money, then people get addicted, can't get them anymore and move to heroin. It's just the way it is with how many people sell oxys, abuse them, and die from them. REally if you have chronic pain it would be better managed with a higher ER dose and a couple IR doses throughout the day. It helps with tolerance, rebound pain, and other side effects too. You have to at least TRY to work with them a little bit.....

Wade go to the first posts and you should find the doctor info there but we are un sure what they will do or will accept new patients but they DO NOT take insurance and it will be 200 for your first visit and let them know you are about out so maybe they can get you in faster.

Thanks Mac for responding, I did come from out of state about 2010, so I started with King Soopers for some time. But about 2 months ago I just went in told the pharmacist what King S. Had implied, also I told her all my diagnosis, so she looked at my PdMp, there was no problem after that my story matched dates, Dr.s etc. This is my neighborhood Walgreens, and has been very honest, caring, non judgemental, all customer service skills on point!!! A pharmacist /Dr./nurse/patient relationship is very important and being honest and earning respect and trust is vital when suffering Chronic pain like you myself (and all of us here) ....Finally, I can get down to a 5 now. (At times)

MaC, I've been reading your posts and really appreciate all the info! As I was reading CPRs website I saw that Dr May does not take insur, you have to pay cash. Is this the office that other posts talked about that is $200 first visit, $150 afterwards?

Tammy. I wasn't saying specifically that anyone IS a red flag, but the dea sees it as that!!!! I am sorry if you took offer to something i say. I was just saying what i was told. Maybe Dr May will do different things for you, idk, I'm just starting what i was told and me saying its not an oc clinic was a quote from the receptionist when i was sitting talking to her. And actually, i know more then most doctors know about chronic pain. I'm not bragging but I'm just saying, I've spent WEEKS of hours learning everything i can about all these meds. I am trying to support you too tammy but what the hell? I'm just saying what war told to me so you can prepare in case. I didn't call anyone an addict. And if you're all going to turn on me for me giving you the information that YOU WANTED, then whatever, you can leave the forum. I said nothing wrong to anyone. I'm saying EXACTLY, TO THE T, WHAT I WAS TOLD. So get pissed at me because the dea is cracking down down on chronic pain patients and I'm telling you before you find out the hard way. Later
