Finding Subutex Dr? (Page 5) (Top voted first)

I am really having a hard time finding a doctor who treats with Subutex and not Suboxone. I have chronic pain syndrome and relief-seeking behavior soon became drug-seeking behavior. My psychiatrist put me on Subutex, and my pain was reduced a little, but I wasn't so much into drug seeking anymore. I was treated for 5 years. Then I moved, and I can't find anyone in Ohio who does this. I might have to move back to Chicago! Any suggestions?

DESPERATE: Sorry to disillusion you, but 10mgs of Suboxone and 10mgs of Subutex are indeed the same amount of Bupe. (And yes, I have taken BOTH) What is likely going on is you are having a bad reaction to the Naloxone in the Suboxone. Headaches, pain, nausea are side effects of Naloxone, and obviously those symptoms are also common in withdrawal too. I really may just be the Naloxone. I am allergic to the stuff, and couldn't function on it, so I was switched to Subutex. Have you told your doctor about these side effects? See if you can get documentation, even if you have to go to the ER, that you can not tolerate Naloxone.

I clearly said that just because they have the same amount does not mean they work the same at all! I also clearly said i was on subutext and looking for a dr to replace my current one due to work n not being able to get off!!! I never said i was on suboxune I can not function on it it makea me super tired headaches and just have no energy and everyone I know or talk to about them says the same thing so your reply was very unnecessary and not in the least bit helpful

I did check on the medications that you listed, which as you said, isn't a complete list and you actually already have one possible interaction among them, that can result from taking the Buprenorphine (the narcotic in Suboxone and Subutex) with the Bupropion.

The doses have to be monitored carefully, since it can cause dose related seizures, but as I said, this is with the Burpenorphine, not the Naloxone.

So from this, I am not finding anything else that may explain why he chose to use one of them over the other.

It is, of course, possible that you are right and he was just trying to be very careful maintaining a balance, since it can be difficult with the health conditions you have.

And yes, I do wish you the very best of luck, all of us here at the site do.

Please post back and let us know what happens and how you are doing!! :-)


Oh and here is a link just for information on Naloxone, by itself, but as you can see, there really isn't much contraindication info listed:
