The reason is because your doctor is only able by law to prescribe the name brand Suboxone. I have the same problem. It doesn't make me sick, but my out of pocket expenses with the doctor appointment and paying for thirty atrips is well over 500 bucks a month. I found out that certain doctors can only prescribe the name brand. Big Pharma making their money!!!

Actually, you get more euphoria from Suboxone and not Subutex. It's all a scam for the drug companies to make money, and keep you on Suboxone forever cause it's simply better. The naloxone does nothing at all!! I've had both and actually kinda feel high from the strips!

I have been on methadone for 8 years and it has saved my life. People who bad mouth methadone are either on too high of a dose and not ready for the next chapter in life. I was off everything but then had a severe back injury and refused any narcotic except methadone! If people have any questions feel free to write me back. {edited for privacy}

I believe addiction should be categorized with mental health seeing from my experience people self medicate with opiates to control severe anxiety issues and other chemical imbalances!

Personally, unless you need one other, and they appear tone so somilae I’m not sure what the problem is other than the cost. I tried and eventually got off suboxone, niy it has the craziest withdrawal of any drug and the doctors didn’t know what Intold them. I said on qeek three or 21 days of nothing that is when things go crazy. I was literally tallingbtonpwople who wee not there for a few days. Just don’t think because you hot through two weeks that u r good cause you will not be soon.

I recommend getting off suboxone entirely. It’s a harsh reality but there is a better alternative and it’s organic too. It’s called Kratom. It rids the withdrawals 75/90%. You just need to take 9-10 grams a few times a day, or whenever you start feeling crappy. Take it on an empty stomach when you wake up, then a few hours later eat. It doesn’t taste great but mix it with a quarter cup of boiled water, that way it dissolves, then fill the cup up the rest with orange juice. It’s worth a try! Then you won’t have to deal with doctors anymore. It’s also very cheap if you buy it in bulk. Anyways hope you consider this alternative :)

Re: Sweets (# 195)

All of these responses prove my theory of what suboxone did to me. Don’t get me wrong, it saved my life. However, it lasts so long and you feel good (I’m comparison). I would get so much work done and still have energy. Although, it makes you feel like doing things and you really get into those things. Hence, I would send entirely way too long emails or post comments like on here with such attention to detail. For the most part, that’s all a good thing but after a while of being up so long and still communicating with people, they begin to think you have gone crazy (in my case) or they think you are high, which technically you are a bit. I will also say the combination of suboxone and adderall made me stay up for days! It eventually got out of hand. I was just noticing the people taking it have really long, detailed responses and people who are sick and need it probably worked hard to get a few words typed. Has anyone else had this problem or just me?

Re: Jen (# 46)

Hi Jen. Besides getting pregnant, I have taken Suboxone going on 7 yrs. Off label for chronic pain issues from a MVA 18 YRS. ago. Had been prescribed various Opioid anagesics for 12 years. Had been on Oxycontin last 4 yrs and Dr. Retired. Could not find a physician who would continue prescribing the Oxycontin or any sch. II Opioid and had a terrible withdraw, ending up in a psychiatric facility.... immediately was given 8mgs. Suboxone. Over the yrs have delt with the exact water in ears/clogged up feeling and popping. Also about every 4to5 months, hives appear. I saw an ear nose throat md and he diagnosed nothing. I explained to him the constant irritating problems but he did nothing as far as diagnosing. I also suffer with migraines. These symptoms all began with taking Suboxone. I'm going to have my PC state I'm allergic to Suboxone and try Subutex. Thank you for validating my exact thought about Suboxone being the culprit.

Wrong. The effects of full on opioid are blocked because the Bupe, not the Naloxone. The Naloxone only exists as a deterrent to administering subs intravenously.

Re: Doolalah (# 1)

If anyone drinks coffee or a lot of it, while taking suboxone, it somehow clears it out. I don’t know why. A friend told me this he noticed symptoms of nausea as well after 2 years of taking it. His doctor told him after a while it doesn’t work. Which is sad and you could be experiencing withdrawals if this is the case. In fact he had to go to rehab to get off the suboxone. Did you try Bentyl for stomach?

I understand exactly what you are saying. I was prescribed 2mg subtex 12 years ago and now all hell has broken loose with the pain management Dr’s and now I have to see someone who will not take legitimate insurance and it is $120.00 a visit which is monthly. Every 3 months it is $160.00 for a pee test.
