How Can I Get Subutex Not Suboxone? (Page 9)
(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.

As far as suboxone, the amount you would need is totally going to be up to you and your doctor. typical dosages are anywhere from 2mg to the ceiling dose of 32mg. but i dont see a lot of people on that high of a dose. now i am a person who had a big habit, so i was on between 24 and 32 mgs of subutex at any time. dont be afraid to tell your doctor if you need more. it took a while for me to get on the right dose, and then it STILL didnt help me that much (my dr. says im a "tough case") so i ended up being helped more by methadone. i got my subutex with the help of insurance, so i wouldn't know how much it is without it.

As far as veins, im not sure there is anything one CAN do, or i would have done it. at the end of my using, i had to fix in my legs, so i hear ya on bad veins. when i have to give blood, lets just say its not pleasant for anyone involved. good luck.

Even hello my friend, you are not alone and I can relate to you as I am also in the same or very similar position Myself. I have a local CRI and CDAS now know as STARS in my area. I have become very isolated and I feel the fears you do. It was never my drug of choice. Now 37 I avoided the drug until about a year ago and now I am reliant daily on this horrible drug. I have tried to go cold turkey a couple of times and lasted all of a day as the withdrawals are strong, mentally, physically and emotionally. I have been to my local CDAS and been scripted always a daily pick up and the dedication to the daily pick up is a must and I couldn't even manage to do that due to anxiety :-( The other option is private doctors you can find on the web, though this does cost. I personally would favor in this instance to go for subutex over methadone as the methadone could end up in a double habit double the agony on top of the opiates. Strongly recommend to avoid the methadone. It is your decision at the end of the day and the doctor should go with what you say don't let them sway you otherwise unless you agree with there reasoning. You will have good support with STARS/CRI/CDAS. Also I would highly recommend joining an AA NA or CA meeting there is no one else that will never understand an addict than another addict you will find love, support and fellowship like no other and people from all walks of life it will blow you away like no drug could ever do. This could be a good starting point. You will find AA NA and CA meetings all over the world and if you don't feel ready to go out to a meeting you will find web-based meetings. Please try. I should do the same, it all sounds so easy and it is, we are worth it. I wish you all the very best with your recovery. I hope I have helped even a little.

who are you talking to? getting subutex is going to depend on your doctor. i assume you are meaning subutex as opposed to suboxone?

I take prescribed opiates daily. What dose of subutex will I need to cover my withdrawals? I'm at a very high dose and my w/d is really deadly bad. Also, how much do pharmacies charge for subutex (per pill)? Another question... My veins are damaged. Is there is any treatment to cure my veins back to health? I am very sad about this as my veins disappeared. Please help.

I am very sorry to say that u r very wrong about the subs. I was on 6 blues a day.. I was very bad off.. To say my mother's said to me on the phone to get off the needle and quit smoking, the point is when we hung up she dropped dead with the phone in her hand.. I got the call 2 hours later that she passed. I stopped that night, I went two days with nothing till Monday morning and got on them. I had to fly out of state at 4:00 am Tuesday. I was feeling fine and keep that what she said in my head. So when I got back to FL. I got rid of #'s and told people if u r not sober your gone..Well dear and all that read this, that was the best thing that had happened to my life.. knowing that you have to want help, not to misuse it is the key, because the people I helped get on it is not misusing for a buzz and not getting dropped down the amount of pills or films. If the person themselves think they r ready then u can do it and stay off the other pill...but if u don't have the strong will to do it, it won't happen. People Places and Things that trigger it, well it can screw the will power to get better. Not preaching to anyone, but I am sober 4 Year's and on the 24.

Maybe I neglected to state that Ultram (tramadol) is an opoidm but that's because, in my world we all know this. I should have mentioned it. "Ultram" doesn't sound like an opioi, as do Vicodin, hydrocodone, oxycodone, etc.

I totally agree with you and KKK. Those os antithetical to the purpose of Drug Treatment. I have a Methadone License, but I've only used it to sign off on orders written by residents in our Drug Tx and Ed Unit. I remember the happiest day my life "officially" knowing that I was no longer addicted. I developed respect for Rx or CS meds and I do have them prescribed for me only when absolutely needed. We can't write for CS for ourselves in NYS anyway. I see "cross addiction" manifest itself in attempts to feel high "without the clinician's knowing it." Unless as a young rodent, this bulls*** doesn't work on anyone who survives the first year, WE had plenty of "replacement" opiates/opioids before Subutex and a drug along won't stop the addiction process.

Ultram is a very dangerous drug. It can cause Serotonin Syndrome, which easily can result in death. Many patients don't realize this because they don't know tramadol is an SSRI; they just know they feel better all over. To say that your advice is idiotic — medically dangerous — is a gross understatement. Combining tramadol with opiates/opioids or the latter combined with blockers such as Narcan isn't stupid, it's mindless!

Don't ask for generics especially subutex they are not nearly as good as the name brand subutex.
