Dr. Who Can Prescribe Methadone

Updated

I have just moved to Harrisburg, PA. I found a pain management clinic who will prescribe my methadone (I have been taking Methadone for pain management for 5-6 years), however they have asked that I find another doctor. I was told by pain management clinic that I am the only patient they prescribe methadone for. Does anyone know of a doctor in the Harrisburg, PA area that prescribes methadone for pain management?

Due to the severe addiction issues associated with it, it is not usually prescribed for pain, unless it has failed to respond to all other treatments.

That said, it can be prescribed by any doctor with a valid medical license, finding one that is willing to do it, however, is going to be the tough part.

When you go somewhere and are asking for a specific medication, especially a narcotic, it tends to raise red flags and they are very reluctant to deal with you as a patient.

I am assuming, from this clinics reaction, that you have been unwilling to try anything else recently?

Have you asked them if they can recommend another place you could go to nearby?

Ive been on morphine (180mg), 70mg of methadone and clonopine at various stages of my back pain treatment at the VA here in Wichita, Ks. Nothing they have tried has worked so I hit the streets. Someone had one Oxycodone Hydrothiazide 15mg tablet..I took half and it almost took all my back pain away..now all I need is the name of a Dr outside the VA who Will perscribe it for me. Ive suffered from this pain for almost 20 yrs without much relief..Please Help!!!??!!

Kay I agree with you. I find it incredible that a "counsellor" got on this forum and said that. I question the credentials of this person. Probably a user themselves, trying to bignote their miserable existence by bringing others down.

And you call yourself a counsellor (it has two L's by the way). No decent, educated counsellor would EVER get on a forum and say anything like that. Yes, there are some people on this forum looking for the wrong things, but you obviously don't have a CLUE about addiction and all it's faces. Yes, when people are in active addiction they do the wrong thing and look for drugs. I would LOVE to know who your "boss" is (if you are actually employed that is) so they can see what your opinion is on people with addictions. That would be the same as me saying to you "I hope you get cancer" but gee, I'm too nice to say that. Best of luck to you.

I don't know who to tell you where to find a doctor that will prescribe methadone for your area but I will tell you - Good Luck! You going into a doctors' office and stating that you want/need methadone, they are gonna throw you out. I live in rural Vermont and I am on oxycodone. There are doctors here taking new patients but as soon as they see that I am on oxy's, their suddenly full and not taking new patients. That's a lie cause I picked up the local newspaper here. The exact doctor I wanted to see, is in fact "taking new patients". Sorry but I wish you well.
