Can anyone please recomend. A walk in pain clinic with a good countthe one I go to currently writes me 180 Roxy 30mg 60 roxi 15 mg and 30 2mg xanax. bI have heard of clinics that write 240, 150 and 90 respectively and I am an out of state patient as well please

just some advice, maybe you should speak with a professional regarding your thoughts on doubling/tripling your doses.

on another note, its always interesting to me to see people who registered here over 5 years ago pop up with one post like this one.

I always wonder about that phenomenon as well Snippets.
Interesting isn't it??

Good luck to the op on your quest.

I would be very cautious about going to Florida for pills due to recent worldwide attention to the "pill mills" down there. I would do your homework very carefully and bring your records with you. I wouldn't want to be there and get snagged in a DEA operation without legit needs/records. Embarrassing with records but could have profound consequences personally if not legit needs and you are pulled in.

I could be wrong but I'm sure someone out there knows the law on this...if you are prescribed 240 roxicodone that it gets reported to the DEA. My guess is the pharmacists has to report it...anybody know?

Mining an old subscriber database?

I am in great need of a pain doctor in Central Florida.....Melbourne area if possible. I have a recent MRI but am currently on some pain meds. Nothing illegal in my urine, but I do know that some docs will not write a script unless you have clean, clean urine. Does anyone know where I may find some help?? I am a veteran and the VA only offers methadone and/or morphine. Don't really work on my injuries.....L-3, L-4, L-5, S-1 disc issues from a bad fall.

please help
hurting in florida

I need some help, I live in south Florida and was in a car accident in April and was t boned by a truck on my driver side. 3 herniated disks in my back and have had 2 epidurals which have made my back worse. The dr was giving me 90 vike 10mg and 90 Soma 3mg for a months supply and after the 2nd epidural didn't work refereed me back to my orthopedic well and now wont give me pain meds since he refered me back but the othro is only giving me 30 vike 5mg and 30 Soma which is nothing its gonna last my 5 days as ive been taken 10mg 2 to 3 x a day. im out of work since the accident so i dont have much cash but if anyone knows a walk in pain center I can go to that is 100 or less to see a dr or something would help because in 5 days I will be in extreme pain with no meds I have copies of my MRI's as well

To get into a PM DR in Melb area you have to get referred by an Orthro DR or Primary Care, most PM will not take someone off the street. Thats my understanding and how i did it.

I KNOW I have seen this post frequently... Why do you keep changing your screen ID? Anyways, just Google exactly what you are looking for. You are in the land of milk and honey my friend, even in this day.

The much touted pill mill reform is still in committee.

south florida is flooded with these 21 year olds making more money selling most of his /her own prescriptions because it's fast bucks and most can't get a job mostly due to the current eonomic times. I know of a guy that get's a script for 240 30mg oxycodone and 60 80mg oxycontins.

It's to the point where there getting 7 and 8 bucks per 30mg's oxy and 25 for 80mg oxycontin.

This ecomomy has really heart this country it's worse than I thought it was..

I'm scared out of mind to buy one pill from any dealers or illegal source, BUT i'm incredible sympathetic to those in chronic pain that cannot get enough meds to live a better quality of Life...

any amount of a sch II that is prescribed gets reported to the DEA

yes everything gets reported to the Dea ....my cousin is a pharmacist and says these meds are very controlled and she cannot even access them without the owner of the pharmacy being there to unlock the safe they put them in....very difficult to access oxy in any form...unless you are dying of cancer or such....

At the risk of sounding like an ill-informed idiot, what kind of malady (other than cancer, I guess) would require this much medication? I'm not being sarcastic or flippant, I just can't imagine living in that much pain. I think I'd rather be dead!

It is interesting. Makes you wonder.

Sometimes before a surgery they will prescribe like this but not for any length of time.

not true. oxycodone is in percocets which is what they normally give to someone after having some sort of surgery. I've got a rod in my thigh going from my hip to my knee with a big screw at both ends and 3 pins in my ankle I was given a bottle of 100# 10mg percocet for one month, and this was 2 months after the surgery. before that I was given 60# 5mg percs with 30# 5mg percalone (just oxycodone) and the month after the 100 perc 10s, I was given 90 of the 7.5mg percocets. just saying, that you don't have to be dying to get scripted oxy in any form.

You don't have to be dying but you do have to have a chronic painful condition. Doctors are very strict with oxy.

In some states ANY controlled substance gets reported to the DEA.

What states Stacy?

Alabama for one, my state.

We have a PMP and there is a report from every pharmacy done every month that goes to the DEA.

It includes the medicine and your social security number, name, address and doctor name and DEA number.

Ohio as well. Our PMP must report scheduled meds. Saying that, being sarcastic here, how many people does the Goverment (DEA or otherwise) need to hire to examine the daily counts from all the different states... Wait now I understand where the current Administration is saying employment is on the rise.

Thanks. My state does not have one. I am now in the NE.

It's setting up for a National DB.

I live in south FL. as well and went to see a Dr. today who specializes in pain mgmt, although I was there more for depression since he is an internist as well. He is in Delray Beach and know that he takes new paitents as long as you have records. I believe the cost of the visit is $130 and he dispenses meds from his office. Very convenient. I actually didn't even have to go to the pharmacy for my antidepressant.
If you want to PM me I will give you his name and phone number.

I live in Georgia and I believe they do that PMP also. Not only that, if you've ever been through treatment in Georgia for alcoholism or substance abuse, it shows up everywhere you go to the doctor. You can develop a disease or condition, and it will still affect your treatment.

The point is that in certain situations a doctor can get by with prescribing this many. One reason is perhaps that doctor has a LOT of power and pull; plus, other doctors have given a consensus view that is agreeable to that doctor prescribing this much. I once in the 1990's had a doctor prescribing 210-2mg. Klonopins a month and 100-1mg. Xanax's a month. That was when I lived out in the Southwest. In that state, you can write 5 refills. And he did it every time. The loophole in this case is that up to 20-2mg. tablets of Klonopin can legally be prescribed for epilepsy, which I had a history of. Now, in the 2000's, if a doctor happened to add that Xanax to Klonopin regardless of epilepsy since Xanax is not for epilepsy, they would probably report it. Even though benzo's are only schedule 4's, the state boards of review for physicians really look down on over prescribing them and double-benzodiazepine prescribing.

Is there any word on when FL is finally going to implement a prescription tracking system? I can't believe they haven't yet with all the negative press they've been getting these past couple years.

As of August of 2009, still looking for funding. That is the official reason for non-implementation of Florida PMP.

Actually, reading between the lines (I mean, it ain't that expensive compared to big Govt computer projects) they are still kicking around just HOW exactly they implement this thing.

And when it goes in, it goes into every pharmacy and drug dispensary? Nope, still some loopholes.

Oh, and when they get the system in place to monitor all the pain clinics, that takes care of that, right? Nope. Some are exempt. They don't have this one figured out yet either. Basically, because the Dr.s are doing the studying, and a couple of PM clinic Docs are on the review board. This may take awhile folks...

The clinics themselves are pretty much self monitoring now, because they don't want to lose this one... Of course by "self monitoring" that means they are no longer leaving around a stack of pre-signed prescription pads, and are actually doing an examination upon intake. With records and everything!

rhollusstar, Georgia does not have a PMP. In fact, the Georgia senate and house shot it down faster than the libertarians could come out of the woodwork to protest it. From what i heard: Apparently, they were trying to push it through quietly. Someone got word and passed it to a libertarian group which promptly started mass emailing to members and once it got out, protesting was immediate. The result, all the legislators shot it down without batting an eyelash. Quite the contrast to Georgia's neighbor, huh? But in my opinion, it was the right thing to do. It would have been just more government trampling on individuals privacy and rights even if you were not doing anything wrong.
