Doctors Who Will Prescribe Methadone For Pain Management Phoenix Arizona (Page 3)

I have been on methadone for about 6 years and had to start going to a maintenance clinic a few yrs ago after my pain dr lost his license here in Phoenix, Arizona. I tried going to another pain clinic after mine closed but they wanted me off the methadone and forced me to taper off of it in one week and demanded I took gabapentin which DOES NOT work and they didn't care. Anyways, I went to mmt clinic and have been there since but there are so many things wrong with it, I'd end up writing a book. Does anyone know of a pain Mgmt doc who writes methadone scripts in Metro Phoenix area?

I just saw this post. I feel like there might be hope for me. My Dr of 20yrs retired n this pain clinic dropped me from 60mg long lasting twice a day to 30mg short acting. My life has gone down hill fast!!! I have a plate from c4 to c7 herniated discs down my spine are now sitting on my nerves, as well as arthritis down my spine!!I have diverticolise, gallbladder must come out and was diagnoised in 1994. First disc surgery was in 94 in colorado. They suggest i move to Az as i also have one of the worst cases the Neuro surgeon have even diagonsed. Thank you, thank you for posting this. I can only hope, n pray that in the year of 2018 he is still in practice!! Thank again for giving me hope!!

Thx you Julie for your helpful comments abt a methadone pain treating doc in Chandler. However, I just now noticed they were written back in June 2015; and now it is May 2021. Does anyone know if the Dr. Fedoriw is still in practice?

Dang buddy, I wish you luck trying to come off methadone if you ever do... Coming off methadone is worse than coming off heroin. Methadone sinks into your bones and ugh thinking about you coming off it makes me feel nauseous.

Hello, my name is Andrew. Your husbands situation sounds exactly like mine. I doubt you'll see this but does your husband still see him? Could he refer me to his doctor?

Hello my name is Andrew. Are you a pain management doctor? If so are you accepting new patients? I currently take oxycodone 6-20 mg a day and am struggling and my current doctor just moved into a new office and they want to completely change my script amongst other things. I know this is an old posting but hopefully you'll see this. Thank you for your time.

Is methadone how they handle pain management here in az? This state is seriously screwed up with its prescribing laws and tendencies, doctors don’t even know how to properly prescribe a medication then they just take you off. But nobody should be given methadone for pain management, liquid handcuffs, gonna go through the same it not worse w/d’s off that then a pain pill.
