Is Suboxone Safer Than Tramadol
(Newest replies first)

Updated

My family doctor has me on tramadol 150 mg. I do take more 300 mg a day. She wants to stop the med because she thought it was short term, and did not know it was addictive. If I talk to her about suboxone.. can she prescribe that med? Or does it have to be a cash only psych Dr?

Hello, Mj! How are you?

Suboxone also contains an opiate and carries just as much of a risk of being habit forming. It combines Buprenorphine with Naloxone. As listed by the FDA, it can also cause similar side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Any doctor can prescribe it, the restrictions only apply to it being used for addiction treatment. However, as I said, it is another opiate.

Have you considered seeing a pain management specialist?
