 Hi Dr, I am from Las Vegas, although I have only been here about a year and a half. I ran away from 20 years of hurricanes after the last 2 years of the totally destructive one on the coast of Florida where I lived in Pensacola. We were totally wiped out by Ivan. And after Katrina that was it, we left. packed what we had left in the Jeep and came to Vegas, I always said I would retire here and here is where I am. Anyway these are my active problems : *Lupus Anticoagulant * Antithrombin III Deficiency * Chronic Nondecubitus Ulcer Of The Medial Left Shin * Chronic Nondecubitus Ulcer Of The Medial Right Shin * Chronic Pain Syndrome * Deep Venous Insufficiency Of The Leg * Essential Hypertension * Multiple Pulmonary Emboli * Nicotine Dependence * Oral Thrush * Protein C Deficiency * Protein S Deficiency * Thrombophlebitis Of Superficial Vessels Of The Lower Extremity With the methadone from what I understand, the FDA has said that they will no longer allow the Doctors to prescribe anything above 10mg for pain patients and the pharm's cannot fill anything above it. 40mg will only be allowed to be given out in the hospital environment. This will create a huge problem for me and as my doctor is an internast and not a pain mgmt. I am attempting to find something that she might be able to substitue for the methadone prescription. If anyone has any ideas I am open to them all I really need some help as my refills come up within the next 2 weeks and I an running out of time. Here is a list of all of my meds so you see and make nothing interacts. Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen Yu, Nancy 1 tablet by mouth four times a day prn breakthrough pain. 10-500MG TABS 30 120 0 1/15/2008 Methadone HCl Yu, Nancy TAKE 2 TABLETS TWICE DAILY 40MG TBSO 30 120 0 1/15/2008 Methadone HCl Yu, Nancy TAKE 1 TABLET DAILY for total rx of 80 mg in am, 10 mg at 2pm, 80 mg qhs 10MG TABS 30 30 0 12/11/2007 Topamax Yu, Nancy take 1 tablet by mouth at bedtime 100MG TABS 30 30 3 10/9/2007 Lunesta Watson, Roosevelt TAKE 1 TABLET BEDTIME 2MG TABS 30 30 3 9/4/2007 Cyclobenzaprine HCl Yu, Nancy TAKE 1 TABLET BEDTIME PRN 10MG TABS 30 30 5 8/14/2007 Cephalexin Yu, Nancy TAKE 1 CAPSULE 4 TIMES DAILY. 500MG CAPS 7 28 0 8/2/2007 Warfarin Sodium Yu, Nancy AS DIRECTED 5MG TABS 30 24 5 4/26/2007 Proventil HFA Yu, Nancy INHALE 1-2 PUFFS EVERY 4-6 HOURS AS NEEDED AND AS DIRECTED. 108 (90 Base)MCG/ACT AERS 30 6.7 11 1/11/2007 Furosemide Yu, Nancy TAKE TABLET TWICE DAILY 20MG TABS 30 60 3 I will say this, I have been on these meds for over 7 years so they really don't do alot to control the pain anyway., they just sort of numb it a little.
