Does anyone knows if taking Phentermine (diet pill) and Suboxone is harmful in anyway?
Dani, please get in touch with me, I am in Phoenix and would like the info on that clinic, please
Not sure if you have heard of ' Here to help program ' they pay for your prescription each month for total of ONE year, and only ONCE in your lifetime can a person be on it... Hope this helps, and good luck, I know how you feel I to have to pay, but my insurance pays it all if my deductible is paid, if not it only lowers cost A LITTLE....
I weighed 245 pounds and after taking phentermine (also suboxone) for 6 months I lost 100 pounds. The doctor took me off for my cycle. (6 months on 6 month off) but unfortunately I forgot to take my thyroid meds and I gained alot back...but now I am back on and I am loosing the weight really fast!
How long does suboxone remain in your body for a U/A? I don't take it that often. Just wondering. Thanks.
Where do u live? Bc I'm on bcbs as well and I have to pay outta pocket for my meds n it's expensive. I'm in TN
Hey i also go to Dr.Sommers in Al for weight loss...but i am very interested in your Sub Dr. Of u could give me a lil more info about it... I don't have insurance an need a program like this badley...thanks for the help
Been on suboxone for almost 3 years. I've gained so much weight I asked my sub dr. If I could take adipex. He said he had no problem. Then after going and getting the adipex he says I cant take it. That they are not letting no one in any state (I'm in wv and my dr. is in ky) to take the 2 together. I have to go to the dr. every week and I've tried taking the adipex one or two days a week and I still pop for it on my drug panel. Wish there was some way around it, the weight gain and the no energy is really getting to me.
I have blue cross/blue shield and they cover my suboxone, only pay a 15$ copay.
I go to a place in Alabama called Parkway Medical which isn't a clinic per say but it comes up when you search for Suboxone Dr's. I go to Dr Wise. I found out about it from word of mouth because my old Clinic MedPlex went up from 150 to 175 and this place was still only charging 150. I found a site you can search for clinics and Dr's if it'll help. buprenorphine-doctors.com/find-a-doctor.cfm
They don't at my place. I looked up and found out they weren't dangerous together and lied. Haven't had any problems.
Try getting zubsolv it is the same as suboxone but cheaper! Hope this helps
Did you tell the weight loss doctor you were on suboxone? I called one clinic and they wouldn't treat me with phentermine because I am on subs, so I am about to call another and I'm wondering if I should just lie and say I'm not taking any meds? Do they do drug panels?
Did you do anything else besides take the diet pills when the weight came off?
I've been on Suboxone for a few years now and used to pay cash for it and yes it is expensive. I've switched from methadone and I'm so much happier on Suboxone. I am on Bcbs and they pay for my Suboxone now. I have to pay for the Dr visit which is 150 and I pay for the meds up front but they pay me back 100 percent in 5 or 6 days. From people I've talked to in the clinic their is several insurance carriers that cover Suboxone so just call around. On another note I've recently started taking Adipex-p to take care of the weight I've gained on Suboxone and I've had no problems with the two. I didn't want to tell my weight loss Dr I was on Suboxone because of the looks I get when I do so I researched the two together. They also give me lipotropic injections to take home with me with several vitamins like b12 b6 choline inositol methionine and others for energy, metabolism Boost, and fat burners and water retention. I go to Dr Summer's weight loss clinic in Alabama: summersweightclinic.com/weight-loss/weight-loss-injections. Good luck finding insurance, it definitely helps you out finding one.
I'm in Ma and I used to live in Tn where no in we would cover my sub or my doc visit now I have BMC HEALTH NET THROUGH MASS HEALTH and I DONT have to pay Doc Visit, or the full price of the meds and my co-pay is o only $3.65 in which I have that at rite aid so basically I do not pay for it at all not even r I fill.I had to move to get sober bc as ya know when ur on drugs or whatever ur always broke so I moved to basically get better one the northern states offer more support to ppl with low income and I've been clean and sober for 2.5 years now.So that is one suggestion for insurance if ur willing to move or if ur willing to just go up north and just register as if u lived their and go back to where u live u would have to travel each month but I hope some of this info is helpful!
I'm taking suboxone and I have gained 61 lbs since detox last July. After MUCH begging and crying, my dr prescribed me phentermine. She doesn't like prescribing me anything anymore since I asked her for help with my painkiller addiction. She said that the potential for abuse is high with this medication. I knew that she would say that, so I talked to my sub dr first, and he said that he didn't have a problem with me taking phentermine because it wasn't even close to my drug of choice. I also have taken this med before and had a lot of success with it. My sub dr also said that he doesn't know why I'm gaining so much weight so fast. I told him that it's the sub, but he told me that it doesn't cause weight gain. I told him to read some of these posts.
Hi wondering. Did your doctor agree to the phentermine? I want to ask mine next visit. But dont know how she will react. Ive gained 40lbs in a year!! And its causing major depression for me. Not to mention how it has affected my marriage, seeing how its REALLY hard to feel like being intimate when i hate mY body and im afraid he will too.
I want to ask my Suboxone Doctor about taking phenteremine. I want to lose weight & have tried so many things. I feel like this would help. Ie seen a lot of friends take it & lose weight fast & have the energy to exercise and I want that. Thanks for all the info. I go see my SUboxone dr Wednesday. Hopefully he will agree. I weigh 240 lbs. before suboxone I weighed 180. I nee some kind of help. The suboxone saved my life & marriage. I would rather have it if I have to choose but hopefully I won't have to.
