How Can I Get Subutex Not Suboxone? (Page 15)
(Newest replies first)

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 was in exactly your situation 2 years ago, today i lead a normal life. 1st why subutex not suboxone? Find a Dr that will prescribe Viceptone (spelled wrong) It's methadone in a pill form and easier to tape. In the mean time get yourself some Lyrica (great for hot/cold sweats and general all over pain) get over the counter 15mg codine and take 12 a day also Imodium or other over the counter diarrhea medication contains a weak opiate, get some Valium on the st if you cant get a script take 20mg TDS. All this you can do for about 2 weeks max. But you need to get to a Dr that will taper you off opiates using methadone or if you have about 2000 bucks you could do a rapid detox. Your hooked up to heart monitoring equipment etc given a drug like midazalam or propafol (like when your having a colonoscopy/endoscopy etc. Your then given a drug that wipes the opiate receptors in your brain clean the drugs are naloxone or naltrexone. But a word of extreme caution you are going through a honorific withdrawal and people have died during the procedure and is banned in some states and counties. And after its like you have never used an opiate because you have NO tolerance at all to any opiate, many people have died this way you can opt to have a naloxone pellet placed subcutaneous in your arm that lasts a year. It worked great for me and my partner filmed the detox that took about 3 hours ill share it with you if your serious about saving your life. but remember if your abusing subutex you will die. {edited for privacy}. Don't die your life is a precious gift.

You need a SUBOXONE doctor and not a SUBUTEX doctor! If you really want the help and not for abuse then! First of all you need something with a blocker in it so when you get the urges to use you won't go seeking it out! Naloxone inhibts any euphoric high that your seeking it out let alone were addicts, in which you can or may think when times get tough especially that you'll just use every once in a blue moon and let's face it were addicts we will think off how to get around things all the time and deff when life gets hard! Because not using our using life will have it rough times! Unless your pregnant your really not going to get tex unless you found a doc that will (lets just say there the mad money seekers) get around things for you! That's experience and just using the suboxone alone with out doing the harder foot work to help stay clean it will not work alone! I know brutally honest but it's so real I've watched a few hundred take that road!

You wont die from them. But you get to feeling this from them every now and again. At least you know how many milligrams your taking a day most. Who are addicted type 2, which is know as a silent addict on the street, where you only do every once in a while but.once you start cant stop until your body pass out. Those people, myself once included. Do not usually remember how much they took or even had the chance to know what they took so they dont even know it was pain killers, or advil, or even coke.

Ken, are you serious? Did you just complain about being "cut down" from 360 to 300 30mg Roxicets per month? Where do they do that at? If your pain is so severe that 300mgs of Roxicet every day doesn't "do the job", you need to call an addiction specialist now. I had a friend who was taking 16-32 mgs of Dilaudid every day, and I thought he was bad off. I'm not judging you for being addicted to the pills. I have also traveled that road; only it was more narrow. I took 200 mgs of Hydro every single day and I was always out of my mind. I am worried about you. I realize your reply to this post is an old one, but I do hope that you're still alive and with us today!

That incorrect. You can most definitely go on subutex for treatment. Subutex and suboxone are both partial opiates, because they have a ceiling affect which means you can't take more and more and feel high such as oxy's. I have been going to a methadone clinic for my subutex. Now i go to a private dr. Who prescribes it. You have to be withdrawing they said because you could go into full or worse withdrawals. It's worth calling around clinics and asking if they have it. This post was negative and you need positive help. I hope you will choose this. Dr. Kishore in melbourne prescribes it.

I agree with everything you've said with the exception of the cost of suboxone vs subutex. I have been on both. Suboxone in the state of TN is $13.50 per strip without insurance vs $3.75 per tablet of Subutex w/o insurance. Otherwise everything you said is right. Whether you decide to go to an addiction specialist or to in-patient rehab, if you're not serious about stopping all drug and alcohol use you will end up in the same place but on another drug. Meetings, support, and the will to be sober is the only answer.

hey Ron, that seams like a hell of a lot of methadone are you sure? In OZ the max dose is 200 mg or 40mls people get the dosing of methadone mixed up because some people talk in Mg's and others in mls. Generally you cant switch over to subutex/suboxone until your down to 40mgs of methadone. usually reducing by 10mgs a month then switch to 32mgs of subutex i know that this will take a long time perhaps 2 - 3 years bit doing it slowly increases by 4 fold your chance of remaining abstinence take it slow and let your body guide you and don't be pressured to go any faster than what makes you comfortable good luck and one last thing beware of synthetic methadone called Bio-done it is cheaper bit has a much shorter half life about 16 hours where the original methadone is about 36 hours so you really only need to dose once a day if your forced to use bio-done or phyceptone tablets insist on BD dosing. I'm not sure if your allowed take away doses in the US in OZ tour allows 4 take away doses a week after 3 months with clean urine then you only have to go to the pharmacy 3 days in 7.

It's been a blessing that almost brings me to tears of gratitude.

I am currently going to a subutex doctor right now but they are charging me a arm and a leg (575.00) if I have to continue paying it I will but 270 sounds soo much beter. I appreciate any info you can provide me with. Thanks!!
