How Can I Get Subutex Not Suboxone? (Page 18) (Top voted 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.

ONLYME: I'm so sorry, I just saw your question today. Anyway, what happened with that appointment? Did they make you accept Suboxone rather than Subutex? I am curious as to how that went for you. I am not sure if Naloxone has adverse effects for someone with a pacemaker, or for any kind of a heart condition for that matter. Please let me know what happened if you can.

Hey there Fred I am sorry your going through it buddy hold on and you'll get through it, the answer to this is very simple. A Dr. will prescribe you suboxone by default as it has blockers in it that prevent you from getiing high from the intake of opiates. They will prescribe you subotex if you have an allergic reaction to suboxone or some other medical complication. So if you look up allergic reactions and then allow them to prescribe you suboxone, the next time you see them you can tell them your having these reactions.
Responsibly I should suggest that if you really want to stop get yourself into N.A. or even A.A. I prefer AA although I do not drink. However sitting through a N.A. meeting has always made my cravings worse and most of my relapses have been directly after a N.A.. Addiction is a wide spread problem and people have some very strong feelings on the subject. I find it annoying and irresponsible for so many people to ignore your actual question and make a judgment, and just push their agenda. It is YOUR recovery buddy own it. No guilt, no self hatred just push forward from here. Choosing subutex when you are initially trying to kick is a wise decision there is no reason for you to suffer. When your condition is stabilized then you should try to transition in suboxone. But again you need to remember that guilt and negative feelings are probably going to lead to continued use. There are a ton of different treatment options, impatient is not always the best option especially for those of us who have a family that relies on our income. There is also outpatient and 12 step programs. With 12 step programs you can go about your recovery anonymously. Though the most important thing to recovery is a support network getting a sponsor or a counselor or even a good friend. But that really is a lot to lay on a buddy unless they themselves are also trying to maintain sobriety. Basically you have to hit the reset button in your head and it will take a little time the first couple of weeks are he'll. I am so sorry but that is the truth. But it does get better every day. Chin up though your already doing good just by asking for help. And there is always to talk to about it. Even me I am willing to talk to anyone who is struggling and trying not to use. Good luck Fred, smile, it WILL get better I promise.

I'm on Suboxone I have been for 3 years I go to the doctor once a month and I get 60 8 mg I get nauseous and I have had headaches my whole life to where they make me throw up and the Suboxone will sometimes make me get a migraine and I will eventually end up with a horrible headache I just don't know what to say to my doctor. I just want him to switch me to Subutex they work so much better for me and they're not so hard to take [as in the taste] also I just switched my doctor last month because my old doctor was charging me $150 a month to see him I have insurance to cover my Suboxone so I can't say that's the issue but I want to be on Subutex and off of the Suboxone what should I do? what should I say to my doc? Anyone have any answers?

Suboxone has never worked for me. It doesn't get rid of any of my issues it just doesn't help at all but the Subutex does I don't know why but it does that's why I need to worry about it

I feel it will work much better for you, the Subutex. I have seen no real difference between the old and new or ones by new drug makers. I dont care for the tiny 8 mg pills cause they're hard to break up.

Re: Ron (# 17)

I am so sorry to tell you this, but you have to be at 70 mgs of methadone to be able to switch to suboxone or subutex/buprenorphine. I am at 120 mgs and want to switch to buprenorphine but my dose is too high. The only way is to start coming down slowly. If you are at a clinic they should help you. I am resigning to just taking it. There will eventually be a way to detox people without the hellish experience of a detox. Wish you the best, bro!

Re: Kaylee (# 2)

Hey I'm currently going to the prenatal doc who prescribe me suboxone. I did my research and I'm not comfortable being on this whole pregnant but he assured me there isn't a problem but since I quit my text and started suboxone I'm irritated and constipated. I've had a migraine and I started throwing up all over again. How do I get them to switch me?

Why do you want subutex? The most preferred is suboxone. I know without insurance it's very costly the film. But if your taking that many oxys you gotta have cash. Anyway my heart goes out to you. I can feel your pain no doubt. Look up or google drs that prescribe subs. Usually psychiatrist. There becomg more available every day. Push ce to shove contact a methadone clinic and ask if they have subutex which they usually do.Please for tye sake of yourself and family don't get on methadone! Liquid handcuffs! Very poison and toxic to your body . Prayers

You call a drug treatment program and you go check in. I just want to warn you that if you swap addictions from your OXY’s to Suboxone when you eventually have to come off the Suboxone you’re going to have withdrawals that last for a month instead of a week or two. Good luck to you.

Yeah I don’t understand why drug abusers come to this medication thinking people are going to help them abuse drugs. That’s not what we’re here for.

You should just get off the drugs you are pregnant. Your baby is going to be born addicted to drugs.

I been in that same position at one point of my life. You can really come out of this and away from that devil that on your back. What I did to get clean and I promise you it’s not going to be quick. So be patient with yourself. First if you are unable to stay clean for more the 24 hours I suggest joining a methadone clinic with that you can start getting clean that day with no worries of withdraw. Just whatever dose the Dr. Puts you on and whatever dose helps you get threw the day is the dose you need to stay at. And I say no less than 3 months you can slowly go down 1 milgram a week or month at a time. This process will help avoid any kind of withdrawal as you get closer to the end. Going to the clinic in the morning can be a hassle but in time if you do good they let you take bottles home. You have to one to be clean for you the most part and try not to make a hustle from it. Meaning try not to sale your drugs that help you stay away from the other drug. You need to change your friends up who get high also. NA meeting help you may feel like it don’t but I promise you listening to other speak about the same thing your going threw becomes a meditation by itself. I’m 3 years clean and a day doesn’t go by where my body even thinking about getting High on pills I’m off of subs and methadone Wich I thought I was gonna need it for the rest of my life. Tampering down is how I did it and it took over 3 years until the day came where I would forget to even take my dose and then realize it at the end of my day. You can do it and only you. Having someone you love as a anchor helps so much.
