How Can I Get Subutex Not Suboxone? (Page 10)

I don't know how to go about this as I am shaking and can barely focus, I need help! Please. I fear that my life is going to end from my abuse of opiates. I am currently taking 250 mgs of oxycontin per day. I have a loving fiance and a stepdaughter that I want to be here for. I sit here with cold sweats, and fear going out just because I may make the fearful turn to the meds. Any and all info on how to obtain Subutex would be much appreciated. This wasn't what I wanted my life to be, and I can not let it end this way..Please help me. I am not a religious man but I pray for help as I am at my wits end with this drug.

I believe it. He can be a friend of mine. Was taking 900 mg of oxycodone a day for months. His tolerance just got so high. That's what he needed to feel its effects. Very sad. He's in prison now for stealing scripts from his Dr n forging them for oxy.

I no all about opiate addiction. I've been to 5 methadone clinics n every detox/rehab clinic at least twice. I no what works for me n for the first time in like 15yrs I don't want methadone or opiates or really suboxone or subutex. just want to stop it all. I've paid over 13k on methadone for 3n a half yrs. I'm done with the methadone. now I need come off the opiates that I've only been on for a month. Subutex works for me. If I have 6 or 7 I can wean myself off. What works for one does not work for everyone.

you are 100 percent correct, what works for you is different than what works for someone else. its a shame that these methadone clinics charge so much. 13k for 3 years of methadone is a damn shame. my methadone pills cost about 15 dollars a month, and 30 for the doctor visit. so 45 a month total. those clinics are a business, and they certainly have a vested interest in keeping you hooked on methadone. i wish you luck in getting off of all opiates. i wish i had the strength to do it. stay strong.

Have you gone on this website? You put in your zip code and a list of suboxone docs will come up. That's how I found my wonderful doctor 6 years ago.

I am on subutex 16 mg a day and no I do not feel high at all. I take them as directed and it's because I am allergic to the naloxone in suboxone. And I am prescribed neurontin 600 mg once a day with it as we'll. So before you go assuming that everyone who wants subutex just wants to feel high you are so very wrong. Also I'm not gonna lie, before I got help I was on subutex for almost 3 years and when I couldn't find a subutex suboxone didn't help me at all not to mention I would take it knowing I swelled up like a stuffed pig and got hives like crazy but when your desperate your desperate!!!!! Anyways the whole point of my reply was to inform you that HELLO YEAH WE WHO CHOSE TO USE DRUGS DOES NOT AND I REPEAT DOES NOT MAKE US BAD PEOPLE, CAUSE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN BEFORE WE HAD A LIFE AND FAMILY. WE'RE NORMAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE CHILDREN AND PEOPLE WE LOVE, AND THINGS WE CARE ABOUT. DONT DEMEAN EVERYONE WHO DOES A CERTAIN THING TO BE ONE SPECIFIC TYPE OF PERSON!!!!!

People misunderstand addicts all the time it pisses me off beyond belief!!!! If you have never dealt with addiction then frankly I do not believe your opinions matter much here. We have a disease that is in remission. We strive everyday to beat it another day. I personally ask how I could possibly obtain subutex over suboxone because strips give me the worst migraine!!!! No we do not feel high!!!! This is just like a diabetic taking insulin everyday. Dude you nailed it in your message. I wish people whom never dealt with addiction, and wanna throw in there two sense should do some research on addition. I can't stand because addicts have a past there not entitled to have a great future.

First off you should understand that someone who IV's drugs can and will also misuse the Suboxone. Burp actually blocks the effects of opiates. Do your research on both drugs. Suboxone for people with no insurance is expensive!!!!! Subutex is cheaper by a long shot!!!! The naloxone affects lots of people in a variety of ways. Me personally gives me migraines and breaks me out. Yes there are probably people on here wanting to abuse Subutex that doesn't mean that applies to every addict in this forum.

Actually subutex is prescribed for pain management also. My husband is prescribed for that very reason. It truly helps with pain.

Actually saying an addict is incapable of not coning a doctor is absurd!!!!! I live in Alabama and when opiates became the drug of choice for everyone you didn't have to lie to them. That's why so many doctors lost the license. On my children I have never Doctor shopped and never went to the emergency room claiming to be in some kind of pain I didn't have. I had one family doctor when I was 19 years old after slipping at work and slipped a disk in my back which said doctor prescribed me perc 10's at this point in my life I rarely took Tylenol. After a few months I noticed if I took more then I was supposed to I felt so good and happy kept my depression at bay. Then those few turn into years of addiction a whole lot stronger pills. But I honestly bought them off the street. Now I have a Suboxen doctor and I refuse to lie to a specialist whom is trying to help me become who I was destin to be. He also prescribes me my anti depressants. None narcotic. Your a doctor surely you know that just because someone is an addict doesn't make them a lying piece of crap.

I had a huge tolerance to opiates and I assure you they will let you dose at a level where you are high. You will be nodding in and out all day. Then you have methadone patients whom take Dramamine to intensify the effects of Methadone. So many Methadone patients die all the time because if your using a local Methadone clinic the doctor all the way down to your counselor doesn't give a crap if your stable on your dose at all. During the time I was still in the Methadone clinic back in 2010-2011 I lost both of my parents. I got to where I was taking so many xanax's and failed every drug panel given to me and was never clinically detoxed. Everyone knows those two drugs taken together can be fatal. Thank god he carried me while I was being so reckless!!!!! Thanks to my husband for getting me out of that place. I would never suggest a Methadone clinic to anyone struggling with kicking the habit.

Omg why are you people referring addicts to the Methadone clinics??? Its the worst possible solution!!! You think the withdrawals from those pain killers are bad??? Methadone is 100 worse and can last months. Methadone Set's up in your bones and fat cells. It ruins your teeth. I prefer Subutex or Suboxen please at least do research on all three of them before choosing.

When I made the switch my last dose at the clinic was 75mg. I waited 10 days per the advice of my husband. He said it was best to wait until you where in rough withdrawals. When I took the subutex I felt better no instant withdrawals from taking it to early. Read to many horror stories!!!!

ya 10 days would do it!! actually with methadone you are probably safe at 48 hours unless you are on a TON of methadone, like over 175 mgs.

That scariest part about making the switch was taking subutex entirely to early. So I researched the best was to do it because at the time I wasn't doing this threw a doctor. My husband had a script. I read that you should wait until your in withdrawals where not tolerable any longer. It worked for me.

Anyone attempting to administer suboxone intravenously will do that once and ONLY once, unless they actually LIKE being miserable. Unlike subutex, which can be very easily misused, but not really by opiate addicts. Anyone with a legitimate opiate tolerance isn't going to get much out of it. Basically a waste of time.
