How Can I Get Subutex Not Suboxone? (Page 17)
(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.

Not sure how you came across your info about the difference in the cost of suboxone and subutex but you're wrong, at least in Kentucky, the difference between the two is a minimum of $300 depending on the pharmacy, that's WITH insurance. I have been trying for 2 months to find a doctor to prescribe either that I could afford, I have excellent insurance but not one of the doctors take insurance, not one! By the time you get in and go through all the steps to begin treatment you are spending between $600-$800 CASH and that doesn't include the script, with my insurance 30 days of suboxone would cost $336 while 30 days of subutex is $31.76, that's a pretty huge differance

Suboxone is maybe 7 for the stop signs and 11 for the strips where the subutex generic can be bought for 2.70 so do the math. lets see... 90x11 or 2.70 x 90 we have been overwhelmed with this problem in fl and when u make min wage see who easy it is to spend 1000 on ur script 250 is alot easier.

My brother died in his sleep from an opiate overdose. He was so addicted and his withdrawals so bad, that I could literally look at him and see how badly he was suffering. An addict does not go into recovery knowing how to cope with the withdrawal symptoms, and in the first stage is when the symptoms are hardest to bear. It makes me very angry to hear people telling a person who is suffering like this that subutex or suboxone is not the way to go. Personally, I hate suboxone, but it would have saved my brother's life if either of us had known about it at that time!!! I would do anything to have him back, and I know he was suffering bad enough he would have tried it. It would have given him the hope he needed that his life could be very different, the one he really wanted to have anyway. My brother was such a good-hearted person, but he did not have good coping skills. He thought he had to be the hero for everyone, and he sucked up any difficulties he had, never admitting to them, and not talking to anyone about them.
It's not necessarily the same for everybody. Some people may be able to tolerate their withdrawals better than others. Or another's may be more traumatic. I've had both very tolerable, no intervention-type withdrawals, and I've had the second kind, where I used suboxone to help, because I could not endure them. I've also suffered the withdrawals from suboxone, and I know it's nothing to play with. I literally thought I was dying, and it was like it was pay-back time, and there was no way around it, it was going to happen whether it happens initially, or after the suboxone, but doctors are keeping a lot of patients on it for way too long, and way too high a dose. Thank God I no longer take any of it. It was like demons were moving around my room at night. My throat closed up and I could barely talk, and I was dying of thirst. My blood pressure shot up - and I had never experienced that before. I had no idea what was happening to me. I didn't sleep for FOUR days. It was one of the most nightmarish experiences I've ever had. I even prayed, asking God if I was going to die. I truly felt like I was. From what I understand, I was lucky my experience didn't last longer. It lasted about 3 weeks, while others say theirs lasted MONTHS, and even a YEAR later, they were still experiencing episodes of withdrawal. I totally believe it, knowing personally what opiates do to your brain and body. But, in the crisis stage, I think suboxone can be a life-saver under supervised circumstances, for short-term. Doctors need to be educated on this, and some doctors definitely should be fined for keeping patients on this medicine for way too long. Some doctors may truly believe this is good for them, but others may simply not care, because this method of treatment is very lucrative I imagine for the provider. Okay, that's may take. I'm out of here :)

750mg of methadone a day?!? Is that possible/legal in anyway? My buddy bad a extremely high opiate tolerance, and i mean veryyyy high & he was on 160-170mg a day and was just completely ablitterated from the medicine. It took him 2 years to kick just the methadone saying its the hardest thing he's ever done and if your over 200mg for 3 years then basically your stuck on it for life and there is nothing they can really do about it, they got you hooked which was there job and now its all buisness. Sad and disgusting but very true. Wish you the best bud

Hi amy, I was looking for Subutex doctors in columbus and came across this. If you call the Polaris Urgent Care, dr. Garcia I believe, they can treat you with subutex. It did wonders for me! They usually give you suboxone but if you are pregnant they give subutex. the appt is pricey but worth it! check them out! hope this helps.
