Looking for Dr to help me detox off of 50 mgs a day. I am currently going to a clinic and with working full time I cannot keep going every day, because of my new job. Does anyone know a dr in the Louisville area that will prescribe methadone?? Please help. I would greatly appreciate your time! ## Hello, Angel! How are you? Unfortunately, a private practice doctor would not be allowed to help you with this, it would be illegal for him to do so. You're only option is to remain at the clinic and ask them to help you taper off. The FDA classifies this medication as a This is an opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. The other alternative would be to see if you could switch to Subo...

how long does it stay in your system ## Suboxone is a long-lasting opiate, so it can take as long as a week to be completely out of your body. If you are worrying about a urine test, then the time span can be much shorter, it will not show in that for several days. It is detectable much longer for blood, tissue or hair tests. If you are taking it by prescription, then you just need to inform them of this, when you go to have the test done. Do you have any other questions? ## How much longer does it stay in ur blood. All that was mention was it stays in the blood a lot longer than the week for urine. I need a estimate on how long. I cant seem to find anything that states that. The only answers coming up are for a urine test which i already know about.

To make this short, I am currently 8 months pregnant and taking between 8-12 mg of subutex daily. However I can't get my subutex for 12 days. I'm stuck. Currently on 3rd day of withdrawals and I'm 8 months pregnant!!! I'm in horrible pain plus I'm extremely worried about my baby. My local hospital doesn't have a suboxone doctor to dose or prescribe. What should I do?? Will the withdrawals hurt my baby? Where should I go?! Plus it's Saturday!! No doc offices open! What should I do? I don't want to feel this way anymore & I really don't want this to hurt my baby! Someone please help me! ## Did you talk to the hospital? Maybe under your circumstances they can give you something to help out until you can see someone.Especially if there might be side e...

I am being switched from methadone 10mgs 2x a day with narco 10/325 4x a day for a drug called EMBEDA 50mg morning, and 30mg at night. with narco 7.5 as break through medicine.The medicines I were already taking started to be not working so well after so many years. This drug is very new and don;t know, because I still have to go through some withdraws, and. Was wondering if anyone knew about this Embeda? Or, any ideas? ## Embeda is a combination of Morphine and Naltrexone. Naltrexone is to try and reduce abuse. I have put a link to the FDA info below. FDA approves labeling with abuse-deterrent features for third extended-release opioid analgesic: fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm419288.htm

I have been on zubsolv for about 3 months now, before that I was on Suboxone and in my recent prescription I opened up about 6 blister packs and there was no pill inside. I am currently on 2 1.4mgs a day so I had 2 boxes. It seemed like 1 pill per 10 piece sheet was missing. I sent an email to orexo and they gave me a # to call just wondering if anyone else has had this happen and looking for advice on what to do? Should I contact the Pharmacy, doctor ETC. a little scared with how strict they are with this stuff. My doctor won't even take you a day early and I have been on this stuff for years. ## Hi Hunter, Sorry to hear about your experience with missing pills. It sure sounds to me like someone must've been tampering with the prescription. I would definitely encourage you to c...

I am currently uninsured, and with the help of an attorney, am trying to get disability benefits. I am in chronic pain (over 20 years) and currently going to methadone clinic. I started at clinic 6 years ago when my regular Dr. moved out of state. He was prescribing me duragesic 75. The methadone clinic is expensive and is no longer controlling the pain. I have fairly recent mri's. Ruptured and herniated discs. and am looking for a pain management Dr. that takes uninsured patients. My disability claim was denied and is currently being appealed mainly due to the fact that my pain med is prescribed under drug dependence guidelines (not pain management). I would appreciate any help finding an appropriate pain management Dr. in the Melbourne, Fl. area.

It is suppose to be a methadone pill small green oval with 15 on one side N on the side ## Based on the description provided I may have come across an exact match to your pill - but it is not identified as Methadone: "Each green, round, sustained release, film-coated, biconvex tablet, engraved "N" on one side and "15" on the other side, contains Morphine sulfate 15 mg." Ref: chealth.canoe.ca/drug_info_details.asp?brand_name_id=2166 Are sure the source you got it from was reliable? ## I just found 4 of these pills in my daughters room it's greenis oblong with 15 on one side and N on the other side what is this pill please ## So it's morphine 15 mg is that right?? ## Yes Morphine Sulfate Extended release 15mg. For chronic pain patients. Thet are way stringe...

Im in Orlando been going to the same pharmacy for over a year and suddenly in dec. of 2014 they only could fill half of my prescription, it was a hard month physically on me. then Jan. 2015 and i have new prescription and my pharmacy says they still are out! Does anyone know of a pharmacy that will fill Methadone 10mg? I will drive anywhere, winterpark, altamonte ...anywhere. Does anyone know of a pharmacy that doesnt take insurance, maybe I can get enough money to pay for them instead of using my bluecross/blueshield insurance? ## Hello, Chrissy! How are you? Actually, you are likely to have even more problems, if you try to pay cash. Many pharmacies will refuse to fill it, even if they have it in stock, because that makes it easier for someone to doctor and pharmacy hop to obtain more...

Does Suboxone lose potency when wet? ## Hello, Cisco! How are you? It can, if it got wet enough for some of it to start dissolving. The loss is probably minuscule, unless they were severely soaked and dissolved a lot. Your prescriber or pharmacist should be able to let you know how to handle the situation. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

I just moved to boise from georgia and figured it would be easy to get an appointment with a suboxone doctor. NO DICE! Now im completely out and im so sick its ridiculous. ive been on Suboxone for 6 years with n problems in Georgia but my doctor wont call any in!!!! If there is anyone in Boise who could help me get in to see a doc i would be so greatly indebted to u! I already went to the ER and they said "sorry...its against our policy to give any suboxone"! un f***ing believeable ## Hello, Lifer! How are you? I am very sorry about the problem that you're having. No, your prior doctor can't phone in a prescription for this medication. You must be evaluated in person for them to be able to prescribe it and, unless you're in immediate life threatening danger, the ER d...

I'm taking Zubsolv 1.4/0.36 once a day for my chronic back pain(injury). It only lasts about 12 hrs. The first few times I used it I got a numbing sensation in my mouth. I continued since I 've not had anything for my back pain in several months. I'm disappointed that this not giving me more relief. Haas anyone started c this does and increased due to not giving you relief for your pain? This is still expensive for me, $134.99 for 30 tablets. ## You do have to understand that this isn't actually intended to relieve pain, Zubsolv is actually used to treat opiate addiction. Even though it contains the opiate, Buprenorphine, there have been quite a few people who discovered that it didn't relieve their pain. This is a narcotic, so it has the potential to be habit formin...

On day 6 and feel alone. Anyone want to talk. How much longer before I can get up and have some energy? ## Hi DeeDee, I realize what you're going through may be very difficult now, but know that there are numerous people here who have experience overcoming the same kind of situation; and as challenging as it may seem in the moment there is a light at the end of each tunnel. When one door closes another opens, but you just have to keep your thoughts looking in the right place. I'm not familiar with how long withdrawal symptoms from Subuxone can last for, although it sounds to me like it would be a good idea to ask your doctor about trying various treatment options to help alleviate the severity of it. I've also heard about people using ginseng and B-vitamins for getting that ...

Does methadone come in yellow pills? I took a yellow pill that was broken up, so i couldn't read any letters or numbers on it, and when I did a urine test, opiates, oxy and methadone came up positive. How could all three meds show up positive for one pill?

ive read every single thread out there yet not one person has answered this question even remotely, im not a scientist and I have yet to really test it out, but anyway. I am on suboxone maintenance basically to keep my job. however, I don't like suboxone and I prefer the use of intravenous hard drugs. I got 2 bottles of urine with only suboxone in my system after a week and change of 16mg per day and no other drugs. my question: if this urine stays frozen for up to a month, how long will the suboxone stay (if at all) in the frozen urine??? luckily I used dope with enough time for it to leave my system but who the hell wants to use once a f***ing week? if it weren't for my job id say f*** it and drop out of the program, but this habit requires money. so any answers preferably wit...

I am 34 years old and a addict. I have been an addict since I was 21 years old. I have always been able to stop using when I wanted until last July when a string of very disturbing events happened in my life leaving me to attempt taking my own life. I jumped off a bridge falling 72 plus feet to the ground and damaging most of my body. I may be alive but i wish I was dead. I am not able to find a doctor who is willing to help me with pain medication with my past and to be honest the only thing that helps me is H. I do not use the H no longer to feel high. I use to be able to move with out pain. Even with high doses of H I still am in massive amounts of pain. I have done a lot of research and I want to get on Methadone for the pain as well as to get away from any other drug. Thing is I li...
