Mid-michigan, Genessee Co. Flint Area Doctor Needed Please!!

I have just moved and have nobody I know nearby. Please let know of any good and caring doctors you may know of. I am currently on Cymbalta, Attivan, y low dose of Methadone and have morphine for breakthrough pain. This is working for me and I would like to continue but, don't know how to find a doctor. I am very worried about running out of everything all at once. Need to go in somewhere ASAP. Thank you so much for any advice/reccomendations. I appreciate your time. =)

I really need some advice on how I might find a new doctor! I am 34, F, near Flint, Mi. I was on a lot of different pills but, had to wean off when my dr, found a past prescription in my u/a. I only took it because there were scheduling issues with his office but, it was, legitimately. my prescription which I had leftovers of. I was seeing this dr. for about 5 years...monthly u/a's, no problem, He knows me. He knows that I'm not out buying s*** on the street or whatever. Problem is, he ended up in the hospital "indefinitely" and had to hire a new PA. she does not know me, she doesn't know that I was the one that told HIM that I didn't want to be on methadone anymore and I told HIM to quit prescribing it. Well, he got into some kind of an accident and I took a few of the leftover methadone I had while waiting to get an appointment with him. When I had to see the new PA, she said she would not give me any of my normal prescriptions. At the time, I was on 4Norco a day, 2 attivan a day, I trazodone at night, wellbutrin twice a day, and morphine 4 times a day. However, since this all happened, I have found great peace in moderation, I started taking the leftover methadone and quickly weaned myself down to two pills a day. I had samples for Cymbalta which I started taking.... I don't know if it's the lack of drugs or the Cymbalta that has been working wonders. Probably a little of both. I've been on a steady regimen of meds for about 20 years...this Cymbalta that I have found is the first antidepressant that really made a difference. I have finally figured out what I need to feel well and to not feel like a junkie at the same time. I would love to just walk into a store and buy Cymbalta to take once a day, methadone to take twice a day and wean myself down from that, morphine or dilaudid or fentanyl patches to be used as needed for breakthrough pain, and Xanax or something like it to make myself less fidgety and nervous all the time .....So, any advice? Please? I just moved and I don't know anyone at all! I need to find a doctor that will care and help me and I don't really know how to explain this to him without sounding like I'm drug-seeking. And, I probably have to tell him that I can't go back to my old doctor, right? Because they can check on that? Any advice would be truly appreciated. I'm about to run out of the little that I do have and then....I don't know what. PLEASE HELP, ANYONE!
