Find Out Who Prescribes In Your Area

I'm not surprised, I almost sent you a PM regarding this. How did you use it to your benefit? Did you just look for the highest prescribing pain doctor?

 
This is so awesome! Thank you Bjenkins, I found my APRN right away and just had some of my questions about her answered.

Basically, yes. I'm looking for a doctor who will be at the minimum willing to prescribe medication. Some seem like they won't at all. Now you don't have to guess.The full site allows you to search by the doctors prescribing the highest percentage of schedule 2 drugs. The top in my state had over 90% of patients on schedule 2s.

Will see if I can find someone in my area....fingers crossed.

 
Good luck! Use your desktop/ laptop for best results. I noticed the mobile version seems harder to navigate.

Thank you, I will try that. I was on my phone and felt like I was missing something.

 
Thanks so much for this particular topic. The website has a wealth of information. One of my local doctors has over 25,000 claims where everyone else averages between 1000 and 5000. Also this particular doctor $ is over a million whereas most are in the K's. Very useful info!

 
I was amazed to see a doctor in Tampa with over 90% of patients on schedule 2s. It is probably also a double edged sword. On one side you find a doctor willing to help with your pain issues and the other side maybe not so concerned with finding the underlying problem. I am using mine to get the help I need managing pain while getting the referrals to see the specialists who may be able to help me nail down my issues. 

 
Well, I experienced my double edged sword yesterday. I went to my appointment at 2:00 and sat waiting to be seen until nearly 5:00. The doctor was more concerned with me being LE than addressing my issue. He did however finally write a script for nor co along with the referrals for xrays I need to get referrals for an mri. All in all I think I'll be looking for a new general practitioner, but this guy really is a pill dispenser if you have a good reason.

What did he do/say that made you think that he was worried you were LE?  And do you know if doctors have a maximum or a ceiling on the amount of sch. 2 they can prescribe?  I was thinking I would make my appt. with not the top prescriber but maybe the second or third.

 
He came into the room and his first questions were " What are you on, if I drug tested you right now what would I find? " He asked me why I showed up for a physical and then complained of pain. I haven't been to a doctor for so long I said I thought that was what we had to do first. I told him all I really wanted from him was a referral to get an MRI done. It wasn't until after I'd shown him the stretches i do each night to releive my sciatica that he seemed to change. He came back in with a pain assessment chart and paperwork asking if I was LE. He asked me to my face if I was LE.

I don't know about maximums in general but he did tell me he couldn't prescribe stronger than hi dro until I had my xrays and or MRI done. He gave me 35 for 11 days at which time I am to return with xrays in hand. He said walgreens would hassle me and sent me to a mom and pop pharmacy.

I truly want to get my back fixed, and I truly need some pain relief until then. I think he's just so inundated with junkies its his first reaction to suspect that I'm either a junkie or a cop.

Thank you MA I am also in Tampa and now drive over an hour to my Dr. for my prescription.  Hopefully now I can find someone in the neighborhood without wasting a lot of fruitless visits. 

 
This is an amazing website! Thank you so much for sharing this with the community. I'm in the process of sourcing a different PM Doc and this is very valuable info!!

 
Thanks for the amazing link!  I am surprised at the results for my doc in Horseheads, NY. The whole place seems to give out a lot of scripts but the numbers were not nearly what I thought they would be.  Only 26% for this doc who mainly sees 65+.  I had no issue once he knew my condition, guess I got lucky.  

 
I just wish I could find a doc in my area that would prescribe x@n@x without a hassle . Used to have several that I knew that would . Now all of them will not take new patience.

  1. xenxra @ xenxra: @WTF7218 it may as well be that way with how little effort some of the people on here make to find information that's exactly where you would expect it to be.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  4. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  5. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  6. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
