Subutex Doctor - East Coast - Help Me Find One Please!!!! (Page 8)
(Newest replies first)

I have been on Subutex for a year. My Doctor has retired, abruptly. I cannot find another physician willing to prescribe me Subutex (24 mg. daily) instead of Suboxone. I travel a lot w/ work. I would be grateful if anyone could tell me ANY Doctor anywhere on the East Coast that prescribes Subutex. Suboxone breaks me out in horrible itchy rashes and welts, makes breathing a little difficult and gives me blinding headaches- within ten to fifteen minutes of taking it. I am serious about recovery. Can someone help?!

You can see comment from “Grace” below or the Dr. Blanchfield I posted below, but they all have a limit on the number of patients they can have at once. Plus you can’t just go in and ask for Subutex, they will usually tell you it is only prescribed to pregnant women. Plus they are very strict as they are closely monitored and seems they will be getting worse, don’t know why, there is no “High” involved at least for me when I was on it. Methadone was much better but going to a clinic once a week (if you are lucky, after daily, then weekends off) and all the pain of tests, counseling, u.a samples make it not such a viable option, unless you live next door, even then clinics close up at any time. Then leave you to drive miles in all kind of weather, no excuses. I had a friend that had to get to his clinic, it was during a huge blizzard, and he said “You just drive and I will get out and shovel snow for 30 miles each way” Both of them are like you are in prison, you have to get there, but there is always some snag or new rule. Better just to sweat it out, if you are sick. Then there are the people that want to get on just to sell on the streets, taking spots from people that really want to be helped and can’t do it on their own. Most people that are working or have a family can’t just curl up in bed for 3 weeks and say they have a cold, they need their job and family so they have to sacrifice…….

Only other doctor I've had experience with was Dr.Nabil Jabbour in greensburg also...he did prescribe TeX after I got bad side effects from suboxone...however he wouldnt let Me go above 4 mg/day...that just Didn't work for me...maybe ull have more luck with him! he never did UA's either...a friend gets TeX from Krienbrooke phsycological services(in Greensburg also...not sure if spelled correctly) but I believe they go through insurance so may be a waiting list

Thanks for your post. I am a recovering addict, working in NY, presently, having a hard time to get a prescription up here. Apparently many addicts and not enough docs, here, so there is a waiting list for months. Anyway, I am legit, recoverer, been on subutex for a few years, it saved my life. I can take suboxone, or subutex, prefer subutex for generic cost, and have a psych in Texas I see when Im there who knows, me, but I really just need a doc to see while up in the northeast, like I said I
can take either cause it all works but really just need someone in the next month on a friday if at all possible. I see your in NJ, is that offer still avail? THANKS

She doesn’t take insurance directly but gives you the forms to fill out and you send to your insurance company. So as there is a limit of how many patients they can have its best to start close to home and branch out from there. Crazy to drive from WV to PA once a month, plus in the beginning it may be weekly or bi-weekly. Then get down to 1-2mg ’’’’ASAP’’’’! Even though there isn’t much feeling associated with any dose, if you are without that 1mg for more than 2 days they say its much worse and longer to get off of then Methadone, which is hard to believe. Hope you find someone, stay well….. -C

down to 4 mg, is this with the subutex? lucky. i was down to 4 mg with the suboxone tablet...now i am taking 3 films a day. i lost my job and insurance in july and will give major props to the "Here to Help Program"...it's one & done deal but for a year i am getting suboxone film for free. At my last appointment i asked to see the other doc and explained the situation and he upped me to the 3 since the program covers 3 per day, why not take full advantange? a year goes fast & even with a new job i may not have Rx coverage so i guess if im smart i should take less & less to save the newer ones....oh who knows, i agree this is all so much crap to worry about. i still pay $75 every 3 weeks for appointment and i have no clue when this will ever end...
is it possible if i switched to subutex i'd be fine on a lower dose like I used to be?

There is no such thing as a Subutex doctor…… Any doctor trained and allowed to prescribe Suboxone can also prescribe Subutex. There are a few issues. First Subutex can be abused, so most doctors try to stay with Suboxone and will even try to push the film and give you a $75 off coupon to help. Second, unless the Naloxone is putting you in danger, heath wise they will always prescribe Suboxone, giving tex put them in danger of losing their license. And they don’t want that… I can’t imagine that a doctor would retire and not send his patients to another doctor. The problem is, doctors can only have a number of Sub patients (150 I think) so people go searching as many doctors are already full. Some doctors have a waiting list, so sign up to as many as you can that are close by. When I was on it I checked my insurance, besides my $20 co-pay the doc was getting about $600 per bi-weekly visit. Pharmacy would cost me around $25 and they would charge insurance $250. Great money maker preying on people that need help. Plus very hard to get off of.
