Question by Laina: Help with opiate withdrawals , OTC meds only!?
I’m trying to quit cold turkey here (no methadone, no bupes). I am not a crazy drug addict or anything. I have just been taking Norco/Lorcet (depending on which of my two doctors I go to) for around 4 years. I’m tired of feeling worried and anxious when I run out, which I always do. Not because of abuse, but because of the doctor’s instructions on taking it and how often he/she will prescribe it. Norco is supposed to last two weeks, which is does, but I cannot afford to go to my doctor every two weeks. Lorcet lasts longer, since it has less dosages, but it is even worse.

Hundreds of dollars for a few minutes of uncomfortable examination and a script.    Read more...

Question by tel: what doctor can prescribe the pill called Methadone, and that take a saginaw health plan coverage?

Best answer:

Answer by angelwings
any doctor can prescribe it, but they need to know WHY you need it. Call your doc and see if he can get you into a pain clinic ( if it is for pain) or into a rehab facility ( if it is for drug abuse treatment). They might not be able to tell you whether your insurance will cover it. If you are in Saginaw MI, call Covenent and ask them if they know of any pain clinics/ rehab facilities.

Answer by ??umm sarah, moe arrived 11-7-10??
Most medications/prescription drugs are safe to take during breast feeding.

I don’t think you need to go out and buy formula. That’s unnecessary.

I know that some HIV/AIDS drugs are the ones that you can’t breast feed, while taking them.
