Trouble With Getting A Suboxone Prescrption!
(Newest replies first)

Hi All, My name is Amy. I was addicted to oxy's for seven years and then herion for 2 years. I live in Pa. I got on methadone and it really helped. I was on methadone for 7 years. I got off of it in Dec. 2008. I decreased very slowly from 80mgs to one mg. I thought i was gonna be fine, my counselor led me to believe I wouldnt have bad withdrawls, well 2 days after I felt HORRIBLE! I was in bad withdrawl. I bought suboxone from a friend. It worked a miracle! See I dont think a suboxone doctor will see me, first because I am not using oxys or heroin, second I suffer from P.T.S.D, depression, aniexty and severe panic attacks. I see a psyciatrist and thereapist. I am on klonopin, xanax, and effexor. I was told that I can not go to a suboxone doctor because I am on these medications. So I am in a hard spot. Because I do not have a sub. doctor and have trouble finding them I relapsed on herion on May 2, 2009. I actually Over dossed and almost died. I just dont know what to do, I definately do not want to get back on the methadone. Does anyone have any advice or live in Pennsylvania and know the laws about being on suboxone and anxiety meds.? I do not get high from the suboxone, it gives me some energy and lets me be normal, no cravings,I feel great. It just really sucks that I can not get a prescription for suboxone. Does anyone have a similar problem or does anyone know of anything I can do so I can get a prescription for suboxone. I see all this online stuff, but can i trust it? it says u can buy suboxone online. Is this true? Sorry this is so long, I am just confused and worried. I do not want to ever relapse again. I would appreciate any advice. Thank you so much and God Bless! Confused and Worried....

Did you ever find a solution? I used to go to a place in Murfreesboro who were okay, but I found a new place that I like since they seem to actually care about recovery. Let me know if you want their info, and best of luck.

Hi Amy. I’m kevin. I have been in your shoes. I was an addict but I got clean. But I still had those cravings to use. A year after I got out of rehab I went to a doctor. He started me on suboxone. And it has changed my life. I take two strips a day. But I have been taking one now. You really need to see your doctor and tell him you want to start the program. It has changed my life. I've been clean for 4 years now. I look at it as a person with diabetes needing to have their insulin and heroin addicts need suboxone. I hope this helps. I just saw it on the internet and you posted it a long time ago. You can write me back if you have any questions. {edited for privacy}

The whole problem with suboxone is, it's addictive as well! Trading one addiction for another!

Please understand that mixing the medication of suboxene and Xanax can stop your respiratory system to fail and heart to stop.

My advice is to go research and buy Kratom. Leave those damn strips alone. They are Satin’s candy and you will regret them too one day.

Amy, I was in a similar situation. I was prescribed Xanax and Wellbutrin for anxiety and depression. When I finally got an appointment with a Suboxone doctor, he stressed how important it was that I do not take any benzo while taking Suboxone, it can cause cardiac arrest. As I already knew nearly anything mixed with benzos could be fatal. Hope this helped you in some way

I tried to commit suicide on xanax. I cut my wrist, severed 9 tendons, 2 arteries and 2 nerves. I would've never done that if I wasn't on xanax. It definitely makes you more suicidal and less caring for your life and it gives you the courage to carry out these acts on yourself.

Go to Suboxone.com search for a doctor in your area. Print out all the names of the doctors. Make appointments with at least two. One will give you the Suboxone. Don't tell them about the Klonopin. Just tell them you take Xanax for severe panic attacks and BRING a note from your therapist saying you are under his care and you take Xanax for PTSD. That's it. I was on Xanax and Suboxone and I had no problems getting them both from the same doctor. I've worked in the medical field for years. This is how doctors think...They look at you as a possible liability. If they think your going to OD and die they wont want to be bothered with you. Go into the doctors appointment looking your best. If you have tattoos, cover them. If you have facial piercings take them out. Dress conservative. Tell him you are afraid of relapsing and when you took the Suboxone once it worked wonders for you. You won't have a problem. Good luck.

You can go to a suboxone Dr as long as you go the Dr preferred psychiatrist. As long as the psych Dr says you need these, the suboxone Dr will still prescribe to you. That's what my Dr told me, but you must take them correctly.

Youre rude. We all have a disease called addiction. Maybe u havent heard of it? But you should be a little more sympathetic. Kudos to u if u dont have an addiction. I envy you! But people dont need to jear those harsh words! They need help.

Suboxone is a Wonder drug. You would think they would flood the streets with it since it A) blocks narcotics, B) turns addicts into functioning members of society, C) Does not make you feel high. Not in Ohio though. You know that guy that cut his own throat trying to derail Trump? John Kaisch? Well, he has decided in Ohio that you can only have enough Suboxone a day to barely not work (16 mg). What a TOOL!

They prescribe Suboxone for pain in Europe and they do in the US but it's not FDA approved for pain in the US yet.

I was on Suboxone and 3mgs of Xanax a day. I was on Suboxone for pain not addiction though. Here's the problem you may encounter: once you tell a doctor you are an addict they automatically do not want to prescribe any addicting medication.

FIRST: Go to the Suboxone website and find a few doctors listed in your area from that site. If they are listed on the Suboxone website that means they prescribe a lot of Suboxone and will be more free handed with it.

SECOND: Look up the doctors on YELP and read the reviews on them. Pick two that seem the best.

THIRD: book consults with each doctor

FOURTH: Have your shrink write a note to the doctor explains you would like to get off of opiates and take Suboxone to help you do so. Have him also explain that he prescribes you Xanax and whatever else for severe anxiety and he recommends you stay on them because they are helping you.

FIFTH: Go to first doctor and if he won't give it to you DONT take or fill any of his scripts. Just go to the second doctor

Helpful hint: I have no idea what you look like but I work in the medical field and I can tell you presintation matters. Make sure you are clean, your hair is done nice, put on nice clothes that look conservative. If you have tattoos or piercings, take them out or cover them up. Do not look like a junkie when you go to these doctors. They can spot a junkie a mile a way. Make sure you only have in your system what you tell them is in there because they will drug test you on the spot. How did you get the Suboxone that is in your system now? They will ask you, and if you bought it on the street you will have a problem.

I was on methadone my self for over a year and it's an awful drug!! Get off of it. To be honest methadone and Suboxone have almost the same withdrawals though. It takes 30 full days of hell... Methadone a bit longer, maybe 40.
