Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
Methadone is a DEA Schedule II controlled narcotic, and can only be prescribed in-person by a physician who has directly examined the patient in-person. This is very strictly enforced by the FBI. I recommend you call your insurance provider and request a list of licensed methadone prescribers in your area who you can consult for a potential methadone prescription.

can u percribe anything else for pain
Brief Answer:
Followup
Detailed Answer:
Only doctors who examine you in-person have the right to prescribe medication under US law. I can make some recommendations, though. I would suggest you consider other pain medications including the following:
Suboxone
Tramadol
Gabapentin
Venlafaxine
All of these medications are excellent for pain, without the negative effects of methadone. I would discuss these options with your doctor.
