doctors are reluctant to prescribe subutex as it is being abused and sniffed but they dont realise that suboxone can also sniffed. people also inject subutex but you cant do this with suboxone and they also prescribe suboxone as it contains a blocker, they kept me on suboxone as it was on record that i sniffed them but due to an error on my prescribing i am now on subutex! also the docters make you have supervised consumption by the chemist when on subutex but they dont supervise suboxone and i was lucky as i get to take my subutex home but never more than a weeks supply! this is how it works in England! and i didnt like suboxone as it gave me constipation and made me feel like my brain was going a thousand miles an hour!! so glad to be on subutex!! they are also careful about prescribing as people sell them for alot of money especially in the English prisons as people are getting up to £80 per tablet!! and the cheapest is £20 in some prisons and its causing alot of problems and addiction too but prisoners prefer this to cannabis as it smells strong and stays in your system for up to 28 days but subutex can be out your system in 3 days!! hope this helps you understand a bit better why doctors are reluctant to prescribe subutex take care x

Many doctors will prescribe subutex over suboxone.. Find a private , family doctor who is licensed, instead of a clinic.... It won't block opiates totally out- but it makes them kind of pointless.... Morphine will precipitate immediate withdrawals......

My view, and that of my doctor is there is no point in taking something which is not necessary- the subutex is, the naloxone.

If you're ready to quit=- you're done with all the crap anyway... hang in there... !

If you need help - here's a low cost treatment center in Western NC.... We're currently building a detox facility staffed with nurses and an on call 24hr doctor.... christianloveministries.net

if you are self pay let the dr. know that the suboxone strips or tabs are about twice as expensive as subutex. Most drs. wont prescribe subutex because you can still get high from other opiates because subutex doesnt have the opiate blocker. At least thats very true in the area i live in. My subutex costs $3.50 a tab and suboxone cost $7 to $8 a tab.

Cherie, if you're doctor isn't listening, I'm really not sure what to suggest, other than perhaps switching doctors.

And Doolalah, has the Suboxone you've been taking recently been coming from a different manufacturer? You might want to check on that, because if so, then the inactive ingredients can be different and may be contributing to the problems you're experiencing.

hi cherie, i just read your post and you have me thinking...i have taken suboxone for a while now & have always been relatively ok with it, but for some reason the last month to 2 months, i have been experiencing weird side affects that sound exactly like what you are talking about...i am having increasing bouts of nausea and also for the last few weeks i am almost always constipated and that has never happened to me...i have even started using laxatives and stool softener and i can't believe i am buying this stuff like i am an old person...nothing has changed with my diet or medications, so i have nothing to connect it with...it doesn't make sense, though, since I am taking less suboxone now than i did before...i still feel it's the suboxone causing these issues, however...definitely gastrointestinal....
