Not sure WHERE your at. But generally: X-rays, CAT scans, MRI's & the "readings" of any of or all of these imaging, within 2 years old. Plus the intake fee. Can range from $150 - S400. A pharmacy chosen beforehand. And start making a list of "pain maintenance" clinics for your area. Alot will have "walk-ins accepted" posted in them, but no ad or anything else will indicate this! Try for the clinics that have their intake paperwork available for download. This way you can look through it to make sure there is no fee for "background checks" involved. This will shoot you down even if your criminal record does NOT contain drug violations mostly! Also, when filling out medical paperwork, and the entry for your social security number? DOES NOT have to be filled in! I do NOT ever put mine down & have never been asked for it except once. My response is always I am not comfortable with it, since even my back surgeon's office in a VERY LARGE affiliate hospital was "hacked" 3 years ago and everyones information was stolen!!!
Prepare yourself for the intake day. You will have to offer a urine sample. Even if you are a current patient with another pain clinic and your transferring, most require you piss clean! NOTHING in your urine! So if you have a daily habit, your going to have to deal with that first because 3-4 days of drying out is going to leave you sick. You SHOULD know this.
Also, paperwork is going to include a front/back of the human body outline and you will have to place different pen lines, squigles, and lines with strikes thru them to indicate burning pain, shooting pain, and just deep/arthritic pain so be ready to mark this accordingly, and to be ready to discuss these areas as they are affected. You are having to teach the provider about yourself so verse yourself mentally before hand about what types pain, what areas, etc... you have to live with.
Last, but NOT least. People that use "pain maintenance" are expected to know their treatment enough to know what they need. You shouldn't just sit quite when the prescribing part comes around. If you have had, or you do have enough of these conversations it will be apparent when the conversation gets to this point when the prescribing is at hand. I always suggest what I need. Leaving what doseage they want to start you out at up to them. I just switched providers recently because after a major surgery the Dr. did not want to change my meds, and even if he had it would have been 3 months of taking me down to nothing, then 3 months of getting back to a treatable milligrm amount. With just having a laminectomy/fusion at L5-S1, and fusion at L3-L4, with 6 screws being placed in the lumbar in between to regain the loss in spacing between discs and such.... along with my current ailments this was IMPOSSIBLE. So I switched to a previous provider and received what I asked for with a slight downgrade in milligram doseage amount on my IR requested which will go back up next month.
I know this has been long winded. Hope it helps you some.
It takes ALOT of work, and yes, it can be like a "shot in the dark" sometimes. I hope & pray you do not run into what I term "fake providers" where they have "pain maintenance" in their name but don't want to prescribe opiates! My provider I just switched back to has an open intake policy. Other words, I paid $200, including drug test but if I was not prescribed what I wanted it would be refunded.
Good Luck!

Hello harm reduction experts (and all others like myself that are not very well-informed about intelligent use)! I am will be looking for advice about using anti-fatigue stuff (amantadine, provigil, nuvigil, ritalin, possibly adderall) muscle relaxants (baclofen if necessary?) occasional cannabis, and coffee. I drink insane amounts of coffee. and whatever alse comes up. I am just getting back into school and graduate school, so I might be studying a bit. I'll be posting in the appropriate forums as well as in this introduction.

Who am I? Im a middle-aged misfit, survivor, loser, fuck-up and all-around villian with a bad attitude and a highly developed instinct for staying out of prison if at all possible. I value the integreity of having very little to lose, and I avoid weasels that formulate their replies based on what they think I want to hear and what they think they can get from me.

I like being far away from shore on human-powered vessels (boat or board, and I like hiking off where most people can't get to, preferably way up there in the clouds. I also like riding very fast on a very loud motorcycle. I also like returning safely from everywhere I go. I also like sitting on the couch watching films on DVD's, eating food I cook from scratch, and teaching people stuff they want to know.


I got a prescription for Provigil last week, and insurance is resisting until after I try Ritalin and Nuvigil, and I am wondering how to use any and all of the above without becoming noticeably sleepless, anorexic, or deranged. I am a bit inexperienced with prescriptions. In a previous occupation I was subject to random UA's and so I basicly just drank, smoked cigs, and did coffee. Now I have fatigue issues, as well as muscle cramps, and--with the aid of a smart and cooperative physician, I am trying to improve my focus and mental stamina while reducing my reliance on coffee. (I drink around 2 liters a day, and I brew it strong.)

I will probably start with Provigil, once I get insurance to cover it, then try adding in some Adderal for when I need more mental focus. I will have to work up to smart dosages slowly. Wallgreens down the street no pricing allowed for modafinil and Provigil. Not even worth shopping around. At those prices. For that money I could buy contraband.

Hey there community, hows everybody doing? I Have been on and off the site for years never managing to last more than a few posts due to a life of chaos. Always been researching pharmacology Im interested in or fascinated by.
Questions Ill likely(guaranteed) that I will never be able to answer are regard this anxiety, delirium,alcoholism, delirium tremens, alcoholic hallucinoses, panic,doom...I think ya get the picture. No?
Too many benzos+to many beers and the fun that comes with it including but absolutely not limited to; black and blue body, waking up in hospital wondering why your hooked up to all these machines .., waking up in jail preying to an unknown Old One nobody was killed , waking
Up next to fat girls, walking up next to black girls, waking up with brand new remote control cars in pocket along with other goodies.
Heroin and meth...maybe
Another time.
Cheers!

Hello everyone! I have been on and off this site over the past year or so and I finally decided to join in and make contributions. I'm currently 23 years old and enjoy going to raves and festivals so this website has some very useful information when it comes to the "party favors". Alas, Great to be a part of the site!
 
hello everyone. new guy here. have used this site for a long time looking for information and just decided to join. I'm stuck in a half way house at the moment as a result of a terrible drinking and driving incident (I know I know, very dumb idea) so I have a lot of free time to kill here at the library. I'm into a lot of things, music especially, (Funkadelic, Pink Floyd, Plug, Nine Inch Nails, Les Claypool, The Melvins, The Misfits, Squirrel Nutt Zippers, Ministry the list goes on and on). I like all sorts of drugs but mostly Psychedelics and downers. I'm just here to meet some cool people and to learn.
 
Welcome MaggotBrain !

I'm a big fan of most of the bands you mentioned except Squirrel Nut Zippers. I guess I'll go check them out. :)
