i took suboxone LAST NIGHT and im on a color system for court ordered drug tests.. my color got called TODAY. i was thinking about just diluting my urine as much as possible + get the omni detox drink so the test can come back inconclusive and i can go back for another test on a later date when iys out of my system. thoughts on this? maybe someone else has had experience with this or has a better solution (not using someone else urine tho bc id rather have to take another test rather than take a chance at them finding out and automatically failing)... please help, this is URGENT!!!!!

I need to find a doctor here in Louisville that can prescribe me methadone. I just recently got put on my husband's insurance plan which is Blue Cross Blue Shield. I was in a bad car wreck few years back so my back is in major pain on a daily basis! I even have at least 1-2 times a month that my back goes out completely and I can't walk or even move. So I was put on pain pills and not only did they not even really help that much, but they messed my stomach up so bad that I was hospitalized for liver trouble a couple years ago. After that I started going to the clinic to receive Methadone. Not only is it way too expensive, but I now that I have insurance I just want to start going to a regular doctor and just get my methadone prescribed now. I need help to find a doctor to do thi...

Will I continue to have pain being on this medication? ## Suboxone is mainly prescribed for opiate withdrawall in the states. I,ve read that other countries use it for pain relief. I,ve been prescribed it for opiate withdrawall but have pretty severe leg pain. It does help me with this pain. Some people say it does nothing for pain, I disagree. May I ask why your going to a suboxone Dr?

I've been a H addict for a long time and switched to methadone about 6 years ago. I have tapered myself down from 100 mg to 6 mg. I know when I'm going into withdrawal, I am physically addicted not mentally, and I don't think I'm going into withdrawal from this low dose. I know the half-life of methadone is 36 hours but its about 31 hours since my last dose, waiting on purpose, and I feel fine. ## Hello, Robbin! Are you still doing well? Methadone is a funny drug, while it does cause severe addiction itself in many people that take it, there seems to be a small subset of people that just have no issues with it and can walk away quite easily.

Plz help... ## If you are at a pain clinic, then you need to call them and tell them you've either had a bad month and over-taken and work with them to get you back on track. If its your family doctor? Be ware, they may cut you off completely. I've been down the road of methadone and it was a terrible drug to be on for me personally. I told my doctor to put me back on Percocets and I've been fine ever since. Nobody can get your script filled but you, however you do need your doctor or pain management doctor to understand its not working for you as you shouldn't be out so early if they were. ## Does anyone know of...

I am currently taking Suboxone 8mg 2 times a day. I wanted to know if doctors do urine test to check to see if i have been taking my medication? ## If you went to a suboxone dr. they will make you take a p test when you go there once a month or whenever. I allways thought they were testing for opiates. Sorry, I don,t know if there checking suboxone levels also. Maybe someone else on here knows. ## From what I've heard and read from other posts on here, is that even though there is a Buperenorphine (Suboxone) specific drug test, not many places use it. The standard tests do not check for Suboxone because it is not a commonly 'abused' drug (like Vicodin, Oxycodone, Xanax and other drugs). I could be wrong here, but that is what I have gathered based on other's sharing thei...

I am a 50 year old female, with chronic interstitial cystitis, severe fibromyalgia, and cluster headaches, oh, let's not forget panic attacks and anxiety. I am in miserable pain and live on the couch, I have no life at all. I have had these medical problems since I was 25, however, the fibromyalgia did not really hit until 2 years ago. I chose to take suboxone for pain even though I am not an addict. I am afraid of pain specialist because in the late '90s was way over medicated by one. I have tried all the non narcotic treatments for the fibromyalgia to no avail. Has any one used the buprinorphine patch for pain? The suboxone worked great until the fibromyalgia hit, it just will not touch it. Nurontin works great, but makes my feet and legs swell. For the suboxone to even make t...

I live in Birmingham, AL and I just can't afford getting my methadone though a clinic since I lost my job, and I do not have insurance. Are there any doctors in the local area who prescribe methadone as maintenance program? ## I'm sorry, but under the current laws, private practice doctors cannot prescribe it for addiction/maintenance treatment.

I have a white pill with the inscription 14 45 m and believe it to be Methadone. Is it considered to be a narcotic? ## HI edman, To answer your question, yes, Methadone is considered to be a synthetic (man-made) narcotic; which is often used to treat addiction to other narcotics as well as relieve severe pain. Regarding your pill imprint "14 45 M", is it possible that you may have read that upside down? Only asking because the correct marking for this particular white pill is listed as "M 57 71" It is manufactured by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals and has a National Drug Code of 00406-5771. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Methadone Details I hope this info helps!
