Use Of Buprenorphine For Pain After Stopping Narcotics (Page 2) (Top voted first)

I have been on percocet (10mg) 5xday, Oxycontin (80mg x2 & 40mgx1 a day), Motrin 800mg 4x a day, Soma 350mg 4x a day for YEARS. I WANT OFF - how do I control the chronic pain that started all this? I have read that using buprenorphine in a different way than in Saboxin (which I would want to use for withdrawal) is not legal in the U.S. but used in other countries - is there something I can do/try? I do PT, I have my own TENS mach., relaxation tech, I walk, lost weight, go to counselling... What can I do?

I would just like to clarify that using Suboxone to treat something other than addiction is not illegal.

A doctor can prescribe it to treat chronic pain, when someone has exhausted their other options for treatment or if they deem it necessary.

It is only illegal for a doctor to prescribe it for addiction treatment if they have not undergone the special training required to qualify them to treat someone, with it, for addiction.

Suboxone, however, still contains a narcotic, Buprenorphine, which is coupled with Naloxone, to prevent someone abusing other narcotics, while they are on it.

Are there any other questions or comments?

I know that this thread was a while ago, but maybe the info can still help someone.

I've been off and on pain meds for approx. 20yrs due to a rupture in my back. I hate taking meds! Last year, my doctor put me on a "new" pain reliever, a /Buprenorphine patch. The drug itself worked like a charm. But I found that the area under the patch would get crazy itchy, then hurt. Not long after, the skin under the patch would get red, inflamed, peel, and weep. In short, if the patch itches at all, don't wait...talk to your doc! You could be allergic to the adhesive :)
