Very interesting biography, it only leaves me wondering how you! typed so much with gnarled fingers as you so eloquently described. I love my lyrica also but had no idea it was so dangerous to go without it. Thank you sincerely!!

Have you tried contacting the social work department of a local hospital?

If you explain to them what happened, they may be able to help you find someone that will see you and assist you.

Hi All, I have been on Methadone for Intractable Chronic Pain for over 10 years. I had been seeing a Psychiatrist/Intractable Pain who was a "high dose" pain management physician. Long story short, he passed away unexpectedly and left a lot of pain patients without pain management. He passed away in 2010, so the last two years I have been suffering as the pain management drs in Beaumont, Tx. area of really afraid to prescribe the medications I was on, which ws Methadone and Actiq for breakthrun pain. I no longer am on the Actiq as I can't find a dr. to prescribe as it is what is called ""off label" since I am not diagnosed with cancer, but was approved by Medicare Part D due to many diagnosis that to lengthy to go into. Since 2010 I have gone from 120mg of Methadone a day to 30mg. By the way the dr that passed away was in Houston, Tx. My quality of life has been greatly affected and am looking for a dr in HOUSTON, TX, who will prescribe more than 30mg of METHADONE per day. If anyone knows of a good psychiatrist or pain management doctor please HELP....I am moving to Houston, Tx next month. Thank you

Try your hospital records, a consult with a doc who treated you there. That might help and I'm sure they have Anesthesiologists who are trained in Pain Management. It is illegal for a practice or practitioner to close and NOT give you as chance to get your records (or copies). Were your scripts filled in local pharmacies? They're YOUR records, too and most pharmacists will print them out for you. They're proof of a sort.

Not to defend or justify how the message was done, but for someone to question or is as bad as the Doctors and Government that has interfered and ruined people's lives. I can make a message as long as that or longer, but I don't type I use my voice and to dictate my messages.....technology works if you know how to use it.

Well said, both of you. Find an EXPERIENCED social worker (MW) ay your local hospital and explain your dilemma. Yes, you're right this clown was SHUT DOWN by the state and federal CS folks. However, even though patient records ARE evidence, see (ask the Social Worker) if you can get A COPY of yours. Good bless all three of you and the best of luck!

Re: Elle (# 18) Expand Referenced Message

I live very close to Nashville and go to a pain clinic there. I'm also an RN who works in a clinic. We don't dispense the medicines here; however, patients get scripts. Sometimes he only prescribes one day at a time until the patient shows they can properly handle more medication. And we have callbacks for the patients who do get more than just one day's worth.

Anyhow I know it's been a year or so since u typed this so if u need help still or need an understanding non-judgemental friend, please let me know. Anyone in this chat can write me back. I just want to help, or be a friend if that's what you are looking for. Chronic pain warriors need to stick together. As well as addicts. I'm not just a nurse who takes methadone, but a supporter. I'll help anyone who asks. Hope to hear from you. Take care.

Re: david (# 3) Expand Referenced Message

No, chronic pain patients can’t go to a methadone clinic. If they do they’ll never get paint treatment again because it will look like they’re a drug addict. I don’t know if it’s all states, but the state I live in doctors are not allowed to prescribe addictive medication to drug addicts. It’s illegal.

Re: Pregabalin Goblin (# 8) Expand Referenced Message

Oh I thought you were recommending Lyrica and I was coming to the comments to say my god don’t do that the withdrawals are worse than opiate withdrawals, but then I see you covered that in your comment. Gabapentin, withdrawals worse than opiate withdrawals, they take like a month it’s terrible. Plus this medication’s never helped my pain they just made me feel drunk. I don’t want to feel drunk
