Doctors Who Will Prescribe Methadone For Pain Management Phoenix Arizona (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

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?

Veritas - can you please help me? I have been on everything imaginable and want my life back? Have fibryo, 4 scoliosis operations, failed back syndrome - you name it, I have it! I want to try methadone - I had it before and I was actually able to function, unlike now. I can't even do water physical therapy! Please help me.

Hi I'm in cave creek, az and I have chronic pain, had 4 surgeries for scoliosis, plus have fibromyalgia. My pain has been so bad and is getting worse. I isolate constantly due to the pain. I went into my pain management dr a month ago and told him I needed stronger medication. I take 5 mg of oxycodone 3 daily. It doesn't even phase me. I have to take 3 in the morning to get out of bed. When I explained to my dr he said he'd increase my gabapentin, lol. I want methadone. I used it years ago and it helped me. I need a new dr for my pain. Prefer regular primary care & not pain management. So tired of dealing with pain management Drs. Anyone, please help!!

They coupled the pain medicine with Baclofen for me to take at night, and then I also have Albuterol and Advair for asthma.....that's all.

@Veritas - I'm in Scottsdale and will drive to your practice, was on 90/30mg oxycodone but recently lost my job and my insurance. Former college athlete at local university and currently have scoliosis (can prove both). Willing to pay office visit fee, can't go any longer without medicine. Figure the office fee will be cheaper than Cobra.....{edited for privacy}.

Wow sounds like I'm same boat as u! I've moved several times, now moving again. This time so I can be back with my family again. And EVERYTIME I worry I can't get my meds filled as I have a crap load of health problems all causing chronic pain :( the biggest thing I hate is when ur on this stuff for PROPER reasons & all the addicts out there have made the docs scared s***less. God it's tiresome. Now I'm moving to Arizona & trying to get an idea of what kinda issues I may have, yet SO FAR I can't get answers. My doc here doesn't have anyone to hand me over to in Arizona. So as with my last moves, I gotta find one myself. Had I known this stuff (methadose) was soooo hard to get off of id have never taken it in first place. But sadly after trying EVERYTHING it's the ONLY thing that remains in my system & actually controls most of the pain. Which is why my doc (like 15 years ago) finally tried me on it. God this is a tiresome system :(

My mother is on Oxycodone 120/30 mg and Oxycotin 60 mg. Her doctor is moving out of town. Does anyone know a Doctor that is not afraid to continue this regiment in Phoenix AZ. It took several years to reach this dose and it is where she is comfortable- she has Scoliosis.

I just saw this post kind of randomly but hope I can help. Try Dr Fedoriw in Chandler, Az at Arizona Back Pain Institute. It's just his private practice....I know it sounds like one of those big chain kind of places but is not. He is great!! He writes for heavy dose requirements and is very good at doing so. He follows rules, is safe, etc but it's just refreshing that he does it based on you as the patient, not what he thinks the DEA wants to see him prescribe. He writes for methadone as pain mgmt treatment as well. He offered to put my husband on that if the oxycodone ever becomes not effective enough anymore since he's been on a super high dose for so long. He is also a doctor with high ethical standards! He doesn't just do inj's. on you because he can. He actually told my husband he could NOT have any more inj's. and explained why on his first visit with him. I couldn't believe I was hearing a pain doctor be so honest and refuse inj's.!! He could make more money off us by requiring inj's. be performed before writing meds, like many pain doctors are doing now, but instead he was the first doctor after years of this to tell my husband about the medical condition in his back that prevents inj's. from working. It's so sad these doctors are so scared of the dea and are hurting people and subjecting them to procedures they don't even need. I could go on and on but get on his website and read about the standard of care he practices by and that pain meds come before procedures. He seems to be one of the few actually following these guidelines that are set by the medical association in the first place! Good luck. I know you won't be disappointed with him.
