For Rene and Richard... Am sorry you're going through problems finding docs who will give you what you need. And Rene, I feel you.. I had a pain mgmt. doc lose his license in April 2010 and I only had a month's notice! Long story since then so won't take up your time.

I can't help as far as looking for a PMD, as I live up the East coast in VA and it took me quite a while to find this practice I'm going to now. I made sure first visit I brought mounds of test results, four back surgery history (2002-2004), after which I became permanently disabled and awarded Social Security Disablity Insurance in THREE MONTHS (unheard of today), without the help of an attorney, all on my own. I haven't worked sine June, 2004. Plus complications over 12 years, and now MORE complications due to other medical problems. PMD's are not easy to find... those that give medication I mean. There are 28 offices in the Washington, DC, MD, VA area. "National Spine & Pain Center" I was referred to by one of my orthopedists. Even though I have an office four miles from my home, hardly any of the 28 offices prescribe meds. I have to drive 60 miles round trip to one of their other offices but the doc I see there is probably one of the best in the State, or in the Country when you take into consideration the fact he's an expert diagnostician. I can't complain at all and was grateful when he said he'd treat me. I'm a bit frustrated that they are lax in wanting to give out meds, but he agreed to continue it and increased my Methadone by 10mg to 50 per day. I volunteered to come off the Oxy with the Meth increase but that lasted all of a week. Even 20mgs was better than nothing. He dislikes I was taking Oxy, (my Internist was prescribing meds for over a year) and regardless of the fact he's not certified to prescribe Methadone for addicts on maintenance, he was able to prescribe for pain.

Your doc who was suspended had no referrals to give you? Someone here on this forum (tho not this thread) suggested local hospitals for PMDRs and some may have them in house. Kudos to her tho sorry I forgot name. Wish I knew this 2-1/2 years ago. I know this thread is over a year old so I don't know if anything still applies or is current. I hope ya'll found what you needed.

And Rene... I think you meant to say you took your meds 'legitimately' and not ILlegitimaely :-)

RENE:
Seems like you and I are in the same boat. I am trying to find a doctor who will prescribe Methadone in Warner Robins, GA. I take my meds illegitimately and as prescribed; never sell or lend any of it. I believe in being totally honest with my doctor. Good luck on finding what you need in Jasper, AL.

I made it threw till I got home. I have been on my medication for two years and it was a long 8 years before that I was able to actually have them prescribed to me. I have many back problems in addition to shoulder problems(have had three surgeries due to dislocating many times) none the less, I was not ready to start all over again when now I have finally been given the relief I need to live a somewhat normal life, almost pain free. I was scaring myself about the pain, because I know the start of withdrawals the pain is much more intense, or it seems that way. We cut our vacation short(a little more costly, but worth it really) and came home a day early. I thank you for your help, anyway! I was hurting but thank goodness with methadone, it stays much longer in your system and I made it mostly because of that reason. FYI whomever stole my meds, only got the last few days of what I took along with me, so I was only without two-three days. I NEVER take my entire script with me on such trips, due to that specific reason. I will also say, I have learned so much on this site and will keep coming back for follow up research! I want to thank everyone here for all their wonderful advice and helpful information. I am so happy to have found a site where I can freely speak to others in same situations and actually get some answers!! God Bless Everyone Here!!

Most narcotics are out of your system, for a standard urine test, within 4 to 5 days after taking them.

However, you could run into a problem with not having the Methadone in your system on the test, as most doctors use these tests to make sure someone is actually taking their prescription medication and not selling it.

Your best bet would be to report the theft to your doctor, immediately.
