Trouble With Getting A Suboxone Prescrption! (Page 7)
(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....

Tasha... Idk where you are from.... But.you need to look in the phonebook for suboxone clinics near you...see who takes your insurance, make an apt. and go! I've been on this drug since Dec 2010... What a lifesaver.. anyone who had or has opiate dependence and it consumes your life.....look into this treatment. It works!!!! I am also on ativan & the two do not interact.

I am in Indianapolis. Is it hard to find a doctor here to prescribe suboxone? I am having a hard time finding a doctor. I have been on pain killers for years and not only want to get off them but my doctor and the whole practice is starting to deny any prescriptions for narcotics which seems to be the norm here now. I have legit pain but I would rather deal with it then be treated like a drug addict by doctors! I have tried tapering and cold turkey. I think subs are the way to go. My friend stopped using her medication with the help of subs. Can someone please give me info or help on this?

Problem with finding docs in the area is they have to aquire 2 DEA#s and take a class to be certified on suboxone treatment and a lot do not do it due to a multitude of issues.

I will make an attempt to try not to delve too deep into my story since it is quite similar to everyone else's....but I have to say that suboxone is an ABSOLUTE MUST if you are addicted to opiates and WANT to stop the madness. When it was prescribed to me, I was in full-blown withdrawals from approx. 120-240mg oxy a day. The first strip not only made me feel "normal", it allowed me to stop thinking about opiates all the time. Let's face it: addiction is a full-time job.

I got my life back! After about 8 cycles (full boxes of 30) of two 4mg strips/day, I was done. Please note: it was recommended by my doctor to begin my treatment with suboxone and make a solid plan to taper off of it after about a month. It worked like a charm! I am not only drug-free now, but all of the residual addictions and spirit-draining thought processes that come with an opiate addiction went away too (alcohol, isolation, anxiety, and that damned "looking for a fix all the time")

As Mjan said so poignantly, BE HONEST WITH YOUR DOCTOR - BRUTALLY HONEST. Tell them what a piece of s*** you really think you are and let the words gush forth from your heart. You will reap the rewards for the rest of your life!

Take care of yourselves and may The Lord continue to bless you on your road to recovery. It takes time, but you CAN do it!! Visit TurnToHelp and find a doctor today!! :)

I have used opiates off and on for the last 40 years up until 3 years ago when I was put on Suboxone after finally being honest with my doctor. REALLY HONEST! I was actually hooked on oxy's for a long time. I was also on Klonopin for 30 years. Over the last year, I weaned off the Klonopin, was put on Neurontin, and my whole life has changed. Found out that benzo's actually made me crave narcotics more. The question is, do you REALLY want to stop using? If you don't, you will eventually go back to the same old life. Suboxone is a miracle drug in my opinion, but you have to find the right doctor for you and be honest with your doc, and start being honest with yourself also. Just needed to share my thoughts.

It is so frustrating.I wake up in pain and have no energy. The pain is so severe sometimes I feel like I got the wind knocked out of me. I wish I could get some help. I have Medicaid but its in NY. Do u think if I went to the er they would help me? Someone told me the drs want u to take 2 subs a day. I was taking a quarter a day. Its not like I'm trying to get high. I just want to feel better.

Good luck in that area. I lived in Cape Coral and found that because of the pain clinics being closed, it seemed anyone was afraid to have subs for their patients who truly needed them. I am crossing fingers for you! I had to move to Maryland to get help!

Any, unfortunately you are the only onethat can make the decision to pick subs or your other meds. I have been on subs for 4 yrs n They literally saved my life. I also suffer from bipolar, anxiety and depression. They are safe meds u can take w subs. However, NO DR will prescribe u subs knowing u are taking xanax,etc... The 2 combined are deadly ! Good luck !

I've been on Suboxone for 3 years and it has kept me clean. Also from PA. I was prescribed Ativan by my family doctor and I told my Suboxone Dr. and he didn't mind since it was only 1 mg at night. Most insurances will not pay for both though. Also, one thing you need to know is that not any Dr. can prescribe Suboxone, it has to one a Dr. who is certified (they go to I think an 8 hour class on opiate addiction to get certified and licensed to RX Suboxone)
