I took a urine test yesterday and the naloxone didn't show up in the test. They think I'm not taking the sub's but I'm taking 16mg a day. I drink a lot of monster energy drinks, would those be cleaning me out??? ## one time I actually didn't take any subs for my clinic and I put a piece of a strip in my urine and it showed up but no naloxzone either! Tell them to text the levels! ## KENTUCKY ANYONE? Anyone here happen to be from Lincoln County area or Rockcastle? I'm desperately needing to know where to drug screen at?

does tricare cover suboxone precriptions ## From what I can find on their website, it will cover the 0.5mg or 2mg Sublingual Suboxone tablets, with a co-payment of $9 per prescription, with no medical need form necessary, though this may vary for members who are actively in uniform. It, of course, must be from an approved doctor at an approved prescribing facility. Is there anything else I can help you with? ## I am out of suboxone today, took 5 more than prescribed. I cannot get hold of my sub. doctor. my appt. is not until Saturday. Im really scared, and need to know what to do i cant be sick now i have too much going on in life. daughters in jail, starting rehab, moms sick, dad died, etc. someone please help? ## Being on Tricare myself they would not pay for suboxone.

My mom is 66. She's been on 20 MG of methadone for 3 yrs for degenerative disc disease, she's also been in a bad car wreck AND hit by a truck while walking across the street (10 yrs ago) so she's got many sources of pain. Her doctor isn't comfortable raising her dosage because of the rigid methadone rules (his words). We are now seeking a new doctor who can help her. We are in Dorchester MA. ## I lost my Doctor she disappeared and I need someone to help me with my methadone treatment. Where can I go? Or where is she going? ## Andrew, Doctors just don't dissapear, Should she reappear I'd highly recommend seeking a competent qualified doc to treat you NO-ONE SHOULD EVER BE LEFT BEHIND without an alternative for the medication she placed you on. I'll post back w...

Please help. My doctor had me on percoset 10/325 4 times a day. That was for over a year. Well I found out I was pregnant and the doctors promised me it was ok for me to take them. Well I started not taking as many cause I wanted to stop for my baby. I started getting sick and at first had no clue why. The doctor told me I was going thru withdrawel and I couldn't stop taking the meds while I was pregnant cause it could hurt me and the baby. Long story short they recommended me start methadone while I was pregnant. Well my baby was five weeks early they said more than likely it had nothing to do with the methadone. He was fine at first. He weighed 5 pds 6 oz. After a few days the nurses said he started showing signs of withdrawal. They started him on methadone. He was in that hospita...

There is a Methadone Clinic in Indiana that charges $16 per day, charges for drug panels, late charges if you come 2 minutes past your scheduled time, missed sessions, doctor visits, and they change the rules at will. If you complain they threaten to kick you out. If you can't pay the late fee, missed appt. fee, or any of the other charges they impose on their patients then you don't get your dose. They are rude, and act like they are doing you a favor not like you are paying their salary. Aren't there any regulations in Indiana for imposed charges, and rule changes without notice?

I'm trying to research subutex legalities and I can't remember what class buprenorphine is. Is it Class II or Class III? Anybody know? ## Oops! I meant to say schedule. I'm still looking for regs because I'm having a problem with a pharm here filling an emergency rx for subutex. ## I'm sorry, I could provide you better information if you told us what country you were in? It is an opiate narcotic, and as such, it is a controlled substance in the U.S. and is listed as a class II, along with all other narcotics and medications such as Benzodiazepines.

I am currently going to a Dr and being prescribed suboxone. I ended up taking subutex for two days because in all honesty i took extra suboxone for a couple days. My Dr said i tested positive for opiates. They sent it back to be retested and he said it was still positive, the number he said was 61? I don't know if that means 61% opiates in my system or what...? I am TOTALLY freaked out because i did NOT take ANYTHING except suboxone & subutex. Can anyone please help me figure out how this happened? ## Freaked out, If you were going to a true sub. specialist everything would have been discussed with you prior to induction. I'd suggest you find a qualified provider to oversee your treatment and you most likely wouldn't have to deal with the added anxiety of false positives...

Is there any kind of help I can get from the Mfg. I am a single Disabled Mom and I have to pay out of pocket $269 per month for his Subutex. Please let me know if you or the government has some type of program for us. Thank You. Rose {edited for privacy} ## Hi Rose, Based on my research, there don't appear to be any patient assistance programs available for Subutex (only Suboxone); however, I did come across a number of "Subutex prescription discount cards" through google that can save you anywhere from 5 to 80% off your prescription. You just print them out and show it to the pharmacist whenever you fill a prescription. I'm not sure exactly how much you'll save by going this route, but I'd imagine any sort of savings should be helpful. :) Does anyone else has so...

I have been filling my subutex at Walgreen since December now they will not fill them because I'm not pregnant! No one else at different pharmacies are having this problem. But ever pharmacy I call isn't taking anyone new. I've been out for 5days and scared of relapse. Please help! ## Hello, Michelle! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. This is a controlled substance, which means that if you're just calling pharmacies, you're going to keep getting such answers. They have no way of knowing if the person on the other end of the phone is a legitimate customer with a need, or a potential thief. You'll actually need to go to the pharmacies, with your prescription in hand, to find out if they can fill it. As to Walgreen's not fillin...

Anyone in Detroit? If anyone has that information, I will be eternally grateful!!!! {edited for privacy} Natalie ## Hello, Nat! How are you? It depends what you need the Methadone to treat. It it's for chronic pain, then any doctor can prescribe it, but due to the new regulations, you'll need to see a pain management specialist if you require it on a long-term ongoing basis. However, if you require it for drug addiction or maintenance treatment, then you can only receive that in a clinical setting from those that are specially trained in its use for such. Learn more Methadone details here. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. I can search for listin...

I started suboxone yesterday and took two Mgs. A few hours later o had to take two more ans then two more. How long should 2 mg last. ## Hello, Nichols! How are you? The amount required can vary from person to person, depending on how much they were taking of their addictive substance of choice. Usually the dosage is adjusted accordingly and taken once daily. How much has your doctor instructed you to take? The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. ## I'm been on 60 mg of plans for 2 years now and took 2 mg of Suboxone and still feel bad how long until I can feel a pill? ## Brooke, Excuse ...

Hello I have been on opiates for about 2 years now and I was given a half of a quarter of a subutex and this is my first time taking it. I was wanting to know when it wears off? I think it threw me into full detox because I took 20 mg of hydrocodone 7 hours before I took the sub. I am aware I have a problem I just want to know when the sub will wear off. Took it at 1:30 pm, it's now 9:30pm. ## It usually takes about 72 hours, before other opiates will be effective for you, again. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## That is not necessarily true. If it's the only one he has ever taken and in such a small do...

I just recently got on the suboxone program and i started on films but i had them switch me to tablets cuz the films do not work for me as an individual. My question here is: My Dr. prescribes me the tablets that have 8 and an arrow on them... If i take the ones with 54 411 will they see different results from urine tests? And are they different pills or do they work for the same treatment?
