Chris,

Mmj? Uncertain what that is. If you mean Mary J then I can't smoke right now because I'm about to go into pain mgt. I'm coming off the subs. I dose about a half every 1 to 2 days now. I'm glad that progress is happening now towards pain management with workers comp. They are terribly slow about doing anything! I have a total of 6 herniated discs in my back. Three in Cervical and 3 in Lumbar. I'm constantly in pain. All if these new regulations about pain medicine is quite aggravating. I stay at a pain level around 9 with no relief EVER! I'm now lying on a heating pad at the Physical Therapy office.

Cherie,
this may help you out a lot!!! some one I know did this in order to keep their white ones, she works at a place were she haves to use
a really powerful oven cleaner, put it on your skin and let it break you out..
tell your doctor it started making you sick and headaches started really bad and your skin started breaking out after all this time of being in your system.. tell them that you fear you will just turn back to the hard stuff if you can't take something you are clearly allergic too. hope this helps.. she went through hell and back to keep the meds she feels comfy with.

Suboxone really does gives me really bad headaches and I have noticed when I get up and take it, I also have a little harder time breathing. Has anyone else had a little harder time breathing...

It is a shame that a qualified physician can prescribe what he feels best for his patient yet the insurance people, who are not medical doctors seem to have the final say. It is an old argument but a valid one. Some folks like myself simply cannot take Suboxone!!! I have been on Subutex five years - it clearly works and the quality of my life post cancer and chemo is 100% better due to but try telling the insurance people this. They absolutely do not believe me and therefore will not pay for my medicine. It is really disgusting.

I've had one of the most serious "migraine-variant" HAs in history. This wouldn't work for me. I know to much about what a REAL migraine feels like, what the prodromes are, the usual course of any of a dozen different types of migraines and their resolutions. Any doc who believe an admitted opiate addict with a story like this is practically sloppy medicine, Besides, pharmacologically — assuming your phony excuse had some truth in it — the odds would be the migraine is primarily caused by the opiate and that same opiate is in the drug you're scamming for. How about you try telling your doc the truth for a change?

This may help you out a little bit. Have a discussion with your doctor about severe pain. Subutex is proscribed also for pain management. That why my husband gets proscribed it. He didn't wanna have to go back to taking any form of opiates. He next doctor appointment he discussed these concerns with his doctor and he is now prescribed 3 8mg tablets daily. I'm on suboxen but am going to discuss with my doctor a possible change.

Nobody should ever suggest methadone as apposed to Suboxen or Subutex. I actually did the methadone program for about 4 years. Once you start hearing what the withdrawals are like you are absolutely terrified to quit. Plus the clinic in my area only will take you down five mg a week. Methadone was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made. Thanks to my husband I just quit going. Didn't dose anything for a week, then he started me on Subutex he had already obtained from his doctor. He dosed me until I could get into a doctor.

Haha yep same here was on tex forever until law changed in Tn, I stay sick on box that's why I was on tex in the 1st place but the DE-A got the docs Trippin Now over b-s, because Naloxone dont do anything but block the Buprenorphine and make people sick that's sensitive to it, it don't block anything it's the Burp that does all that that's in both of them smh it's a so miss understood D. peeps can I-v both lol . it don't matter tho they don't care unless you can get a certified test that THEY determine that your allergic to it or not, NOT WHAT YOU GOT TO SAY or how you feel. Only that and pregnant women can get it. I'm sure they outlaw subox, because they catch so many peeps with it on the street and think that's what there really using when there only using it when they don't have h and sick. I'm so tired of this subject I been off 6 years and I think I might just go back to it over this, and that's crazy man, but whatever we dont have no voice where jus Js to them

No that's not true if u tell them u get bad headaches and get sick from the suboxone. My sub doc knows the naloxone makes me sick and she said she don't prescribe buprenorphine without the naloxone in it. Even if ur pregnant she said. I have been on it 4 weeks now. All doctors don't give subutex for no reason. And my doctor is one of them.

The naloxone in suboxone makes me sick. Been in the program 4 weeks now and my primary doctor and suboxone doctor confirms its the naloxone making me have bad sad effects but my sub doc said she don't prescribe buprenorphine without the naloxone in it. She don't do subutex even for pregnant women. Idk where else to go. Don't have a car and few places accepts Medicaid and those places I called also say they don't do subutex.

Idk y my doc won't prescribe subutex to no one! I'm not trying to abuse nothing. Seems like doc would give me a chance being I passed all drug panels. They could even do a pill count and check my body for needle marks. I'm horrified of needles and would not want nothing in my nose! No one wants to give subutex. I want it for the right reason. Suboxone makes me vomit, nausea, headaches, itch til I get marks every where, bad stomach pain, diaherra, restlessness, trouble concentrating, burns my mouth etc.. And my doc said yes it's the naloxone making these symptoms happen but we only prescribe buprenorphine with naloxone. So I'm stuck.

So does the suboxone films with the naloxone in it. I take my subs under my tongue and get sick as a dog with so many side effects and doctor said its the naloxone making me sick but she don't prescribe plain buprenorphine, not even for pregnant women. Naloxone is short lived by a hour from what I read and from what my doctor told me. Subutex and suboxone both r abused. But good ppl like me that wants to stay clean with no high can't get subutex if they get sick from it. I use to take the whole 8mg subutex tab under my tongue with zero side effects!
