DrugBuyers.Com: Double dipping

I had a pain doc that I traveled from Bama to Atlanta to see usually once every two or sometimes three months. Some narcotics can not be written with refills so he would send me home with 2 or 3 scripts of each prescription(depending on when he wanted me back) BUT they were dated appropriately. I.E.- They would say "Do not fill before 4/11/05. The ones that would allow a refill, he would just give me the appropriate refill amount. This man was a true pain doc in every since of the word. He knows how to treat pain and isnt afraid to do it. He keeps meticulous records and extensive documentation on his chronic pain sufferers. He knew exactly how much he could or couldent write to throw up red flags and he would always go right up to that line. He knew which meds would be cheaper and still be as effective. He was extremely compassionate as I did not have insurance and he would charge me what I could pay. Yall may have seen me mention him before and how he saved my life because I found him online and was in great despair when i emailed him about having no insurance and little money but in extreme pain and he wrote me back and said if you can get a referral, I will work with you on everything else and he did for almost 2 years until I settled w/ work comp and made the work comp people pay the bills for the doc/meds now.But to tell you the truth, this work comp doc couldent hold a candle to my old pain doc. This work comp doc prescribes all her pain patients the same thing, same strength and same count, all compounded, not to save our livers but in her words " to make the street value worth zero" What an insult. You have to deal with it or quit the work comp program. Another one of their tricks to get rid of ya.But dont get me wrong, I am grateful to have a pain doctor because there was a time when I had no doctor at all.

If anyone is near or doesnt mind driving to Atlanta, PM me and I will give you the name, number and web address of the best darn pain doc I have ever seen or heard of.

But back on subject it is not considered double dipping if the scripts are written out that one can be filled now, the next in 30 days and the 3rd one 30 days after that. I would just take the whole lot of the scripts to my pharmacy and my man there would keep it all in order. Methadone was what he gave me as my main pain med, as much and as strong as I could take it at first to get the pain under control, then we brought it down some. Percocet for break thru, up to 4 per day (yes 4)and in the strength where I could get the generic because brand perc's are expensive. Soma 3 per day for muscle relaxing and Xanax .10 three per day for all the anxiety/insomnia. that combo right there would make alot of people on here virtually pain free. It did me. It was wonderful. It all worked in a way in which I could still be able to function though I did not work and would not be taking them all if I had to drive on a daily basis. I would just have to cut back on the muscle relaxant and xanax on the days I would drive to Atlanta which took about an hour and a half each way.

I wrote a book on the subject just now but he did many patients this way because they came from all around to see him. traveled many miles. He helped those who needed it the most and not based on which insurance they have or how much money they gave. He even helped some to get into those programs which helped pay for the meds too. My hubby made too much money at the time for me to be eligible for that. He had the biggest, largest TENS unit I have ever seen. Pads as big as ping pong paddles. He would hook me up on that thing laid out on a massage table for my whole visit because the traveling was so hard on me.

PM for info if you want it. If you can get the referral in, your set. He WILL do everything in his power to help chronic pain sufferers and specializes in Fibro, CFS, PTSD, Vulvar pain syndrome, restless leg and failed back syndrome which I have every last one of them plus TMJ. Now yall can see why I was at the end of my rope. I was about to give up when I did a search for chronic pain doctors and found his web page and something inside me told me that he sounded so compassionate on his website and to email him and ask for help.
