Is there any pharmacy in fort meyers that carries subutex? ## Hello, Ryan! How are you? I'm sorry, people all over seem to be reporting difficulties finding many medications, but I've no idea what's going on. However, there is no listing of pharmacies that have any given medication in stock. The only suggestion I can make is that you check with more in the area, but you have to go their physically, with the prescription in hand. If you call they will tell you no, because they don't know if the person on the phone is a legitimate customer or a potential thief. 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. Does anyone know of a place there that has had...

Is it safe for me to administer clavaseptin, an antibiotic, and buprenorphine, a pain killer, to my male cat? He's got a burst access on his inner leg. I don't want to play Vet, but I feel it should be okay. Thanks ## No do not give your cat your drugs. Sometimes there's no difference in antibiotics, but no pain drugs. Keep the drained area clean and dry, polymycin powder is good to put on it. A slightly diluted betadine solution should be fine for washing it if necessary. I repeat, do not give your cat your narcotic drugs. You can kill the animal with some of them. ## NO - pain meds for your cat can easily be fatal. I'm not up to date with antibiotics. Good luck.

I been taking buprenorphine nalox 8mg 2mg white round tabs logo halfmoon and 155 on the other. I have always gotten them at walgreens. Just this month they stopped taking my insurance and I had to switch to CVS. I went in to fill in my script today for the first time at CVS since I have always gone to walgreens. When I went to cvs to pick them up I noticed they were different these are round orange pill with AN 415 on the front. The problem is these are not working for me hardly at all like the white ones did. And idk what to do. So I'm just wondering whether they are they same and why these orange ones aren't working for me when they white activis ones did. I think manufacture of these orange ones are zubsolv for that's what the bottle says. I'm also wondering if this m...

I have been on suboxone for over a year. On the first paper work I filled out I put xanxa down on my drug list. Im possive all my ua's it showed up. Yesterday he turned me away with no medicine. I'm 61yrs. old have been on xanxa and efferor xr since losing my 16yr. daughter in auto accident and my husband falling off a ladder to his death. Legally can he do this to me???Signed, Sick in Illinois ## Unfortunately, yes he can. I am very sorry, but under current U.S. law, he is not obligated to treat you, or prescribe anything, unless you are in life-threatening danger. I know, that really doesn't help, I am just letting you know how the law currently stands. Have you been experiencing any withdrawal effects, which the FDA lists as possibly including nausea, dizziness, fever, ch...

I've been going to the methadone clinic for 3 months. My dosage is 60mg daily. I'm working part-time and can't afford it anymore. I've read online about Kratom supplements. Is there a way to stop methadone and combat the withdrawals using Kratom? How would the process work? I'd like to stop methadone cold turkey as well as ensure I'm using the Kratom properly for best results.

i am 8 months pregnant and have been in methadone treatment for almost 5 years. My recent urine screens have been coming back negative for methadone and i am very vigilant in taking my meds as prescribed at the same time each day. The past 5 years my urine results have been correct so why now at 8 months pregnant is my doctor accusing me of submitting someone elses urine, we have recently lowered my dose as i felt it was best for my baby, my body is dependent on the methadone and my baby would likely suffer if i were to be kicked out of prog,,, please help The bottom line is I AM TAKING MY METHADONE, and my body could not possibly be metabolizing it this fast,,,or could it?? i am carrying twice the volume of blood as i was 6 months ago.....I'm so confused? ## Do you drink a lot of w...

Suggestions please for the cheapest Subutex doctor y'all recommend in North Al I was in the streets bc my addiction finally got off the streets bc of this medication I refuse to go back but getting off the street WITH an addition takes all my money at the moment but I must find some where I can afford quick ## I'm sorry, but there aren't really any walk-in clinics for Subutex, or Suboxone. Due to the special training and waiver that is required, as well as patient monitoring, they normally require you to be an established patient and to schedule an appointment ahead of time. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

Hi, I've been taking about 1 mg of buprenorphine for about 4 years now. I've recently received my notice to take a medical test for the Australian immigration process, including urinating for a drug test. Can anyone tell me for sure whether or not they test for buprenorphine as well? Please help me, I'm dying of stress. ## Methadone and subutex aren't real opiates like heroin or morphine. I could be wrong but if they test for opiates then you'd be fine. Subuxone-subutex isn't real morphine. Don't take my word on this but that's what I think. Hope someone with more intelligence comes soon.

I'm looking for a doc that will prescribe methadone. I recently get a prescription for 70mg a day and when I went to get my last refill he told me I need to find a new doctor that he won't be able to prescribe me anymore because they are changing the law and for him to prescribe for pain management he had to be a PAIN specialist and then he would lose his mal practice so I'm in a huge bind. He's been prescribing me for almost 7 months and he said he would write me till the end of the year and that's it. Idk if he's lying or what the deal is. I can't afford clinics not to mention my work schedule won't allow it. Has anyone else heard of this and or know of a doctor in or around birmingham. Maybe you could also help with some information? ## Yes, there are ...

My husband has taken subs on his own in the past and quit oxycodone and did fine. this time around he was taking about 40mg methadone a day. He waited about 50 hrs before starting the bupe. He at first took a quarter and then a half and couldnt really tell a difference so we figured since it wasnt worse he must not be getting perciptated withdrawals. So this evening he has been feeling really awful but it isnt helping him to take bupe .He has done about 2 throughout the day. He is very restless and miserbal he cant sleep he is in a lot of withdrawal. My question is if it was from preciptated withdrawals wouldnt this have happened earlier in the day when he first started to take the bupe. My other question is does he just need to be taking more than normal for it to work? also if he wants t

Well no one has reach out to me on this topic so day one i thanking 3 milligrams of sub this morning and i not in withdrawal ' i been on percect for 12 years and have other health issues! I just what to know more about this drug because i am out of my pain meds yes i took more than qid! Or something! And how thanks i have felting ok and no withdrawal symptoms! Thanks ps stay away from cvs ## Subutex is an opiate, so the FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. How are you doing, now? HAs there been any change? Are you on any other medications?

I was just started on 5 milligram Methadone, and I'm already on 30 mg oxycodone three times a day, after losing my leg. But I just received my refill and there's a deep score in the pills. I was told this is a 12-hour pill. So my question is whether this is the wrong pill because I thought that any 12-hour extended bill would not be scored and able to be broken or I would overdose or get too much at once? So can you tell me is that appropriate? What happens if it breaks? Can I take the two halves separately all at once or will it release all at one time? I don't know why it's scored. Thank you for any reply. ## You really need to call the pharmacy that filled your prescription and describe the pill to them and ask them if it is ok to break the pill in two. You can call a...

Can I mix robitussin and methadone 90mg? I have bronchitis and a lot of mucus in my chest, and my chest is really tight. Need to know what cough medicine I'm allowed to take? ## What formulation of Robitussin? There are several available on the market, which makes it difficult to answer your question, without more details.

I've been in my clinic 5 years with no problems, then all of a sudden my insurance is cut off and they never told me and I got a lil loud n upset so they kicked me out. I've never had any issues or been in trouble for discipline. I've also been clean for 2 years. ## Hey Im sorry that happened how are things going now? Well Im also in a program st Joseph methadone clinic in nyc and I also am having major problems with my counslor Tanya who gets off making me pee in front of people.

I am on suboxone just started today and was induced at the office after being on methadone for two years and the induction was great no PW's at all. My question is this when I was on methadone I slept great, I mean awesome, but tonight I can't seem to get to sleep since starting the suboxone. How long does it take on suboxone do you start to sleep normally again. I hate this part when starting a new med. lol. Just would like to know when I will sleep normal again. Thanks for any feedback in advance. ## Unfortunately, there is no way anyone can give you a definitive timeline, it depends on you and how your body reacts to changing medications.

I have been taking methadone for 10 days starting at 30 and ending at 60. I don't want to have to get up at 5am and drive 35min for the rest of my life, so I'd like to get back on subutex. Can anyone tell me when I can take it? I have not taken methadone for 2 days now. ## Hello, Cory! How are you? You need to be in full withdrawal, before taking Subutex, otherwise it may throw you into dangerous precipitated withdrawals. Thus, there's no precise time frame that can be given, because it may vary from person to person. 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.

My 19-year-old son may finally be getting off the roller coaster. He ran out of Suboxone and a "friend" gave him some Subutex to last until his Suboxone refill comes in. Only problem: he has the first meeting in the process to get his juvenile records sealed. Do they drug test at that point? Should he be worried about being positive because of the Subutex? Once that is out of his system, ## The process can vary from state to state and within various districts, so I'm sorry, but I don't know if they will drug test, or not.
