Dr. Who Can Prescribe Methadone (Page 2)

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?

You guys are all addicts. I hope you all suffer your drug withdrawls. I hope the republicans cut all those methadone programs. You guys got money for drugs but no money to feed your kids or pay the rent.
You all are what's wrong with America. Obama wants all of America to be like the methadone addicts. It controls all of your life. You would give up your right to vote and so on for your dose. Think long and hard about all of what you have done and where you are today.

To MMT Counselor in Wisconsin: If you were able to take a step in an addicts shoes just for one day, possibly you would understand. All your post shows is how ignorant, uneducated and prejudice you really are. I assume you would also feel it would be necessary to remove chemotherapy and radiation treatment for cancer patients as well. That is identical to what you have stated actually. Whether it be Addiction, Cancer or Parkinson's, they are all diseases which make them identical in that sense and for you to actually think that removal of a treatment program for one of those diseases just disgusts me. You are a citizen who puts shame on our country. I suggest you attempt to gain an education of some sort, develop morals and ethics, and learn to look past ignorance and discrimination before you decide to form any sense of opinion toward's such a sensitive topic.

methadone is not 1/2 as harmful as the cancer eating you from the inside out. Don't believe me, your choice but get to a doctor.

I forgot to say I need Dr to prescribe for pain. I have fibromialgia and endomitriosis. In all my research I'm reading that may work best for me. I've tried many of medications. I can't seem to find one that helps. I want so badly to have my life back and not be confined to my house. My pain is affecting everyone around me. Including my 2 beautiful children.

the only reason to go every day is because you were taking other drugs. Within 12 months you get 1 week take homes so don't blame methadone for you're failure to continue the life of an addict

You know why do you post a reply that is sarcastic? Just because you don't want to take it and stay in pain - do you expect that of others? Methadone happens to be an excellent inexpensive drug for chronic pain. I stayed in excrutiating chronic pain for years and it was only because at that time I didn't know about pain clinics or pain doctors. That's a choice you've made not to go on it. Don't put others down for their choices - they're not asking questions for which your reply is appropriate.

I am looking for a pain management clinic that will prescribe Methadone in the Philadelphia area, Allentown area, Harrisburg area, or Lancaster area or in towns in other states that are about 2 hrs plus or minus from Philadelphia. I've been on Methadone since 2005 for chronic severe pain. I just moved back to PA from Phoenix and it seems that the Philadelphia area is a very difficult area to find pain management clinics that will prescribe narcotics. I have degenerative disc disease in my cervical spine and have had since 1991 or before. Doctors tried so many different things - physical therapy, injections, massage, anti-inflammatory drugs and nothing relieved the pain. I was on Suboxone for 3 years for pain management, but when I moved to AZ most doctors had not even heard of it then let alone prescribed it. Sometime innn early 2012 the pain management dr I was seeing inn Phoenix informed me they have stopped prescribing it for pain management which is a real shame. Methadone works great - to the point where the pain is minimal at best. The only reason I wouldn't want to go back on it is the horrific withdrawal. And, for the counselor who wished all of us went through withdrawal - wow - I hope someone finds out about your views of people being on narcotics for chronic pain and fires you. What you said is cruel, inhumane and really ignorant.

Can anyone please tell me why Methadone is such a big deal and so hard to find a pain doctor to prescribe ? I have been a pain patient for 8 years had artificial disc implanted and it failed. I have been prescribed all types of morphine /hydrocodone/Fentynal patch etc etc. Methodone works as well as anything and is cheaper and less addictive IMO . Why is methodone such a big deal?? Does anyone know doctor in the Dallas area that will prescribe? I know one but my relationship with him is not good. He underestimates my pain and I have to fight him every month for treatment.
