How Would You Go About Getting Prescribed Methadone?
Question by pdoggity: How would you go about getting prescribed methadone?
I recently started a great job somewhere, but I’ve been struggling with my addiction to heroin. Would I tell my doctor about it? and if I did get prescribed methadone would I get fired? I work for a Collections department in the bank, so I’m sitting at a desk all day on the phone. I don’t know what to do

I think you should actually go to a methadone clinic and inquire. Below is a gov-sponsored directory of them in the US. The private listings seem scam-my.
If you can avoid adding this to your medical records, especially if you are not yet insured, then that would be a plus and the clinic might afford you this benefit. I may be wrong because there are laws to protect people with diseases who are getting treatment when it comes to their job, but I don’t know about addictions in that case…would depend on the state also.

What Are Alternatives to Methadone for Pain?
Question by Richard S: What are alternatives to methadone for pain?
I had shingles in 2003 and it caused nerve damage (phn). I take about four or five 5mg doses of methadone a week to control the intense pain in the trigeminal nerve in my face. I am afraid of becoming addicted to this drug. Loritab does me no good at all. Has anyone had this experience. I have a physician that will prescribe methadone but I would really like to get away from it and him. My family physician can write lesser painkillers but I absolutely don’t know which way to go. Are pain management doctors usually effective?

Answer by the_only_solorose
the key to pain meds, like methadone, is that if you have pain, and use the medication for that purpose, you do not become addicted. Addiction occurs when you don’t need the med for pain and you only use it to get high, then you become dependant on the stuff. If the methadone works for you, then be grateful, because many meds will not work on neuralgia like yours.
