I need a doctor in the Aetna network who is certified to prescribe suboxone. ## Have you tried searching at the Suboxone website? I am not sure about insurance network information, but they do have a searchable database that can help you find doctors in your area that are certified to treat with it. Learn more Suboxone details here. Also, have you tried contacting Aetna? They might be able to help you find someone.

I sniffed heroin for 2 yrs. just did a 5 day Inpatient detox with subutex.....one terrible nite then fine....on nothing now. 15days clean and now a bad cold--exhausted--post acute withdrawal or just caught something? Heard if I take a 1/4 strip suboxone I'll b feelin better. Or should I just get antibiotics or both? really not interested using or taking the suboxone regularly. Thx ## If you don't have an infection, then I would steer clear from taking any antibiotics, as they can take a toll on your body and make future infections more difficult to fight off. Because you're not sure if what you are dealing with is a cold or simply post acute withdrawal symptoms, it may be a good idea to treat it naturally by just eating a lot more fruits and vegetables and drinking plenty of...

I screwed up! I know this and that's why I wanted life back! After 4 years of the same story. Started with Lortab after back fusion, 2 every 4-6 hrs as needed and ended with 20 or so Oxycotin a day just because... My choice. My money. Time to straighten up and fly right! It's been 7 months now on Suboxone. Going great with lots of support, until today... At my appointment, I was told that I was positive for Hydrocodene and Oxycotin!!! I was told it showed that it had been going on for weeks. When I said that I had not taken anything, I was told I was lying & to continue treatment, it would be done weekly with weekly urinalysis?!? I am a grown man but sorry to say, I've cried most of the day. NO-ONE believes an addict! I'm doing everything right! I quit social drinkin...

HOW IS IT LIKE TO COME OFF THIS? ## There are actually quite a few active threads going with information on suboxone withdrawals, including personal experiences. The link below should help you find more details on the topic: Your doctor should also help you taper gradually to avoid the worst of the withdrawal symptoms, however, it is an opiate, so odds are you will experience withdrawal effects just like stopping any other narcotic if you stop abruptly. I hope this helps!

I started suboxenoe 5 weeks ago. I skipped my last appointment because I started going backwards right away. I think I'm taking a 1/4 of a film now once a day. Last night I woke up with a severe anxiety attack. I took a film then about 12 hours later 1/4 again. I've been worried all day that I'm not going to be able to do this. I just don't want to be addicted to anything. ## One thing that I would find helpful (if you are seriously concerned about becoming addicted) is to keep a log or journal each and every date or time that you take this medication and state how you are feeling at the time you take each dose. In my opinion, this consciously helps you maintain control of your intake of the med and the duration it is being taken for. It can also be used to measure any b...

i found white football shaped pill on one side it has a b on the other side 798 please let me know ## This tablet contains 2mgs of Buprenorphine, the active ingredient in Subutex, which is a narcotic that's used to treat pain and drug addiction, this is a sublingual tablet. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have an 8mg subutex.ive been on suboxone for ten months and now im out of meds. Will this subutex replace the suboxone as the same,or is it different. ## The difference between the two is that the Suboxone contains Buprenorphine and Naloxone, the latter is used to neutralize other opiates and prevent their abuse, while someone is under treatment with it. The Subutex, however, only contains the narcotic Buprenorphine. Have you talked to your doctor for assistance?

round white tablet imprint on one side has nothing the other side has cpc 220 on it . is it a methadone tablet ## NO! CPC is a code used by a company that manufactured over the counter products. I can't find out which one this is, but for instant CPC 835 is a generic Benadryl and they make many other products as well that are sold as generics or store brands. Definitely NOT Methadone. ## So what is the round white tablet with CPC220 on it? ## white, round pill with cpc 220, I think is generic Naproxyn. ## Found a little round white pill with asc and 166 on the sides what is this?

hi....i am a severe pill popper...generally 20-25 percocet a day...i usually buy suboxone from a friend for when my percs run out, but she no longer has them... suboxone makes me feel better actually than the percs...i need to go on suboxone every day and stop playing around with the percs...but i have no health insurance ...i live in mass and my husband was layed off 4 months ago...does anybody know of any options ? i would really appreciate it ## Suboxone is very expensive and only available from certain doctors that are specially trained in its use. Have you considered possibly seeking treatment with Methadone? It is not as good as Suboxone, but there are many more treatment clinics available and it is much cheaper. A simple internet search will pull up places in your area that provi...

I jerk when taking suboxe does any one else have this problem? ## I've never taken Suboxone, but I have experienced that when taking other narcotics, such as Oxycodone and Morphine, especially when I'd lay down to sleep. Have you spoken to your doctor about it?

Hi I'm taking 4 80 Oxy a day I'm starting suboxin Thursday I just wanted to know if I will gain wieght? I really want to stop this bad addiction it's killing me & my pocket $$ but I DON'T want to gain wieght I will absolutely not be able to deal with that! If anyone knows please help? Also I have Wellbutrin so I was thinking if I take both maybe I'd lose wieght? Has anyone had any wieght loss or gain? Thanks! ## Usually, it is not the narcotics themselves that cause people to gain weight, but rather the fact that the person taking them tends to get more somnolent and sedentary, while they are being treated with them. Do you exercise regularly and watch your diet? If so, then you should be able to continue doing so, unless your doctor instructs you otherwise.

i take suboxen regularly but at times i run out i have naloxone .5 would it be safe to substitue ## They are not exactly the same, because Suboxone actually contains 2 active ingredients, along with the Naloxone, it contains the narcotic Buprenorphine, which is how it helps prevent withdrawals.

A few months ago I posted some concerns about the medication Suboxone. The side effects I had a few months ago are different now that I have been this drug for nine months. Started at three 8 mgs a day, never could take that much. I only take one 8 mg a day for about a month now. I am concerned, my body constantly hurts, headaches can be unbearable at times, depression can kick in also. This had been a wonder drug for me considering how much my life has changed in such little time, I feel human again. The problems I am having are due to the side effects, fatigue can be overwhelming sometimes. I don't want stay on this drug much longer, I am scared it will mess my brain chemistry up more so than it already is if I continue my dosage. I don't want to relapse and fear coming off of...

I'm 130lbs great metabolism and on subs but drank 24oz. X 4 of water now urine is clear last use Friday beginning Wednesday but have to be tested tomorrow on Monday will the sub be in my urine if I wash out the opiates? ## Being that Suboxone IS a semi-synthetic opioid, I would think that this is kind of a contradiction. Suboxone is also known to test false positives for other opioids, such as Oxycodone, in the cheaper less efficient drug tests. I would keep this mind and make sure you show the lab your prescription prior to any screening, just to be on the safe side. I hope this helps!

im trying to find a doctor to prescribe methadone in north carolina..ive been at the clinic for two years and i have chronic back pain..please help ## I'm sorry, but at what clinic for 2 years? If you're referring to a Methadone clinic, they usually only treat addiction, not pain. From what I can find, there are currently 36 of them in North Carolina, since I don't know what area you are in, I've no idea which is closest to you, but here's some: October Road Inc 119 Tunnel Road suite D Asheveille NC 28805 828-350-1000 Crossroads Treatment Center 6 Roberts Road Asheville NC 28803 828-505-3086 Footprints Recovery Community, Inc Serendipity 4515 Elmfield Court Charlotte NC 28269 (800)830-9319 Are any of these close to you?

Is there any reason why putting suboxone in clean urine would come back pos for tramadol? Iv done it once before got a false pos for opiate but it came back from lab neg n straightened out. But this time it came back from lab pos for tramadol? No criticism pls its just a question pls either answer or move on. Thanks to helpfull answers ## On the cheaper, less reliable drug tests, it seems anything is possible. False positives are known to occur on them anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time. Suboxone has been reported by a number of users to come back positive as opiates, but coming back as tramadol is the first I've heard of. Tramadol is regarded as a synthetic opioid however, and with the accuracy of these tests I certainly wouldn't doubt the possibility. Explaining this to the la...
