need help about going to 2 doctors for pain medicine

[sensations]

i am currently going to a doctor in NC who prescribes me methadone and oxycodone 15mg and xanax 1 mg. i made an appointment to go to a pain management doctor in virgina and i was wondering if my doctor in NC will find out and if this doctor in virgina will find out about my other doctor in NC? If i pay cash for the doctor in virgina and get my meds filled there with cash and dont use my insurance and then goto my doctor in NC and use my medicad to pay for my visit and my prescriptions will i get introuble? ive heard of people going to doctors in the same states and getting introuble i just dont know about going to different states. i know a few people who told me i should be ok as long as i dont use my medicade for both. my appointment in on the 14th in virgina and i just went to my docotor  in NC on the 4. can someone please help me out and answer my questions? someone with knowledge and some truthful, please. i google my question and all i get is b,s. so please someone help me out  and let me know. thank you so much and i hope someone can give me a truthful answer and a good one as well. thanks again.

in your first post, you asked specifically for a "TRUTHFUL and GOOD' Answer"...well you got them..you just dont want to hear it. You keep repeating yourself because we are not giving you the answers you Want to hear!!  Please..I am NOT trying to be rude to you, Im really really not! Im holding my hand out to you, willing to help pull you out of this Pit of Hell of addiction, but you have to first admit you have a problem before you will make any progress. As a matter of fact, your first post reminds me SO MUCH of my very own first post i made here over 2.5 years ago!!!! I was in TOTAL and UTTER COMPLETE DENIAL that i had a problem/........D  E  N I A L !!!! I posted that i was afraid of going to jail for doctor shopping!! Sound familiar?  I staunchly denied i had an addiction..i was "just a chronic pain patient".

You are dr shopping no if and or buts about it. You are abusing drugs and attending to justify it .If not today or tomorrow at some point you are going to get into trouble .Most pain management doctors want referrals from your prior doctor. There are many doctors in NC that are pain management doctors there is no reason to go out of state.Either way your new doctor is going to want proof of what meds you have been on and who is giving them to you ..If you get caught doing this it very well may effect your Medicaid then you may not have anything. We are  here we have been in your shoes and we have said all the same things you have .Let us help you get your life back instead of continuing down a very scary road.

Answers - - If you are on Medicaid you should probably save your cash and do things properly......

How on earth do you think that you can show a Doc your MRI and then be confused about whether you have a Doctor or not?  

Not a "dope head" but addicted to the pills that you have taken your whole life? How many of those 30 years were you using? I had a 40 year habit and am much better off today than ever before........ and I am a legitimate chronic pain patient myself.   You may need to get honest with yourself...............that would be a very good place to start!

i cant use my medicade because its a NC medicade, you cant use it out of state. thats why i was not going to use it. i was just going to go there pay cash for the visit and the meds at a pharm inVA and if he gives me what i want then stop going to my other doctor. ive seen this doc before and i have old scripts from him. he changed practices because he wanted to open his own. so he will know what to give me from my bottles i show him from last time. if it doesnt work out i just wont go back and ill stay with my other doc. i can still get introuble for that i know but what is the possibility of them catching on the first time? and most likely the only time. again im not a dope head ive become addicted to pain pills because ive been on them my whole life. so again i ask and im asking notto be judged just to hear what you people think, should i give it a try and go once and if it dont work out dont go back? cant i just show him my MRI? how would he know that i even have a doctor if i didnt mention it? please im just looking for answers. there is still time for me to change my mind i just want to know if giving it a shot once would hurt.

I see that you are getting methadone and xanax, and you might want to look into the lethal aspects of that combination, which is what my son died from about 7 months ago.  It is very easy to overdose on methadone, as it slips up on you and when it hits, unconsciousness comes so suddenly that there is not time to get help.
