Hello, Jenell! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.
However, if you've been going to a clinic, then a regular doctor will not be able to prescribe it for you. Regardless of why you were going, the fact that it was an addiction treatment clinic is listed in your medical records and it would be illegal for a regular doctor to prescribe it for you. Thus, I'm sorry, but a clinic is your only option.
The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
Does anyone else have any ideas that may help?
