What Not To Say During Suboxone Appt (Page 11)
UpdatedMy boyfriend has battled with heroin addiction for at least 2 years now. He was prescribed to before, but couldn't afford the maintenance program and ended up banging heroin again. He went back to his doctor to get a script for suboxone again last week, and the doctor wouldn't prescribe it to him. I found another dr who can prescribe suboxone nearby, and want to make sure he gets a script because he will die if he doesn't quit using. Does anyone know any reasons why a dr wouldn't prescribe suboxone?
Thanks.
I have a question seeing if you might be able to help me out. I take suboxone regular 10-12mg daily I ran out 3 days early and started taking opiates for 3 days I took 80mg at noon it's 7pm now is there still enough suboxone in my system to start taking again or do I have to wait so I won't go into withdrawals. I was always told suboxone stays in your system for 3-5 days but I want to make sure so I will not go into withdrawals thanks
The best of LUCK to you! My daughter didn't have cps called..she sure should have at times, but I've tired to always be around for her n the kids! She is now serving time and I have her boys. I am sorry for you..but you're the only one in charge of your life!! Your child needs you..how would you feel if you had to watch her go through this in the future?! Please get healthy and enjoy the life around you.
Special training for Drs. To Prescribe subixone.. LOL... I'd check that and she how special it is.. I'd I'm not mistaken it's a 6 hour online course ..
Most doc don't like people who relapse and cry for help or can't find drugs and want subs to help them
Doctors have to have a certain license to be able to prescribe this medication because there are certain maintenance steps required while taking the medication and there's a training that Physicians have to take to be able to prescribe and monitor the side effects of the drug itself
Suboxone saved my life and /or gave me life back. Now after 21\2 yrs I'm being kicked out for smoking weed. Alcohol & benzos can kill with Suboxone. Weeds been my stress management. This is so , so sad to me. I have 1 2/3 strips n that's it. I am very afraid of what's ahead.
I truly wish u luck.
Because they have to be in withdrawal for 24 hrs and 2 yrs isnt long, a rehab may help them better. People who have been using for 15 yrs are candidates
Hey guys I'm shawn. I'm 23. I use to get subs when I was 18, & really i go back and forth to heroin sometimes but mainly I'm on subs. I'm addicted to subs. I'm going to a program tomorrow called the wedge & they give them out. I wanted to ask what do I say to get a prescription? I actually have opts in my system from 2 days ago and my intake is tomorrow? Can u let me know how it works & what exactly to say? Idk if i should say that I've already been taking subs, or idk, anyone?
I feel for you, too. Why I keep taking extra addies when I know I'm not even going to notice the difference, I couldn't tell you. That's what I do, with everything!
I'm on the Suboxone program and I take more of those than I'm supposed to.
Do i need to ask the doctor to increase me?
Alice...its been so long, I doubt you'll see this but thought I'd try. How are you? Have you been able to stop? My heart goes out to you, wherever you are.
Neurontin really honestly will help you get through those 24hrs of withdrawals.
My dr gives me 75 8s and 3 mg of klonopin daily.. xanax works better for me though.
For Lori Q, since u know all about the AMA, etc, and u haven't been addicted to ANYTHING, did you not read the first 164 pgs. of the big book? Addiction IS a disease and I pray that you don't get hurt or need pain meds for a long period of time cause if u do and ur hurting from pain, I DARE you to NOT take a pain pill. You see some ppl don't choose to become an addict because a long term situation say a wreck messed u up badly and you hurt more than ever.. You will need meds.you won't realize that after 6 months you are addicted. Some ppl got on pain meds for this reason, not because they chose that as a lifestyle, some ppl have inherited it, have u not known someone who's parents were alcohol or drug addicts and become one also?? We don't wake up one day deciding "well today I'm going to work to become an addict!!" So if you know so much and have Dr. beside your name, then why don't YOU come up with a cure. You are totally clueless.. Wait till someone you love becomes addicted, heaven forbid!! I'm glad you aren't related to me cause I think I'd want to slap the crap outta you cos I got so teed off reading ur post. Don't go counseling anyone any time soon...You will kill them... Every person on here probably scoffed at it and didn't bother reacting...I shouldn't have, just thought u needed enlightened. Dr. Lori. don't go doing any favors for anyone soon.... My opinion only....
Hi, this is coming from a drug addict who used to abuse the opiates and pretty much anything that I can get my hands on as I am labeled a rich white suburban kid and I have a lot of experience with Suboxone and there is a an alternative called vivitrol which is a monthly shot that is shot into your buttolks. And what it does is prevent you from feeling high no matter what just like Suboxone but it does not help with cravings or urges to use. The best part about it though is that you will not become dependent on it or addicted.
You will get better! I have been to the depths of hell with Heroin. I am on Suboxone now and I'm actually sitting in my doctor's office reading this. It changed my life insurmountably.
My husband battled heroin for over 20 years, then methadone. That was even worse, cuz he would have to be at this Clinic every f***ing day at a certain time, weekends too and was taking heroin also. It was a nightmare as all methadone did was make it easier for him to have heroin as long as he went to the clinic every day he didn't get sick, but was still able to enjoy the effects of heroin just without all the stress of needing it. However the methadone withdrawal is a thousand times worse according to him. He got busted 4 shoplifting, ended up getting a year and didn't sleep for the first 85 days, versus a heroin withdrawal he would just be in misery and madness for about 2 weeks and then be brand new again. Anyway when he got out I made sure he never went to that methadone clinic ever again. Of course he started taking heroin again. Then we found Suboxone and I got him four 8 milligram films, that's all it took. I don't know how he did it, how he took them exactly, but I know now that he is clean and sober from opiates.
Where or Phch or Dr will prescribe zany bar's age taking soboxon ? Severe anxiety panick attacks. Any suggestions?? Thank you Cleveland Oh.
Hi. My name is patricia and i'm 45 years old. I have 2 grand-babies and a 19 year old beautiful talented sweetheart angel caring kind daughter and a 27 year old son who's hard working, loving, caring and compassionate man. He'll be a wonderful loving family man who loves his wife and children and his family. I have a mama that has been through so much and i lost my brother, that was 2 years older than me in a horrible accident where he was hit head on by 2 maybe 3 cars. It killed apart of us. I had a boyfriend who committed suicide cause he was a needle user but a good guy, just couldn't stop. He had a brother that was close to him like me and my brother. I didn't understand the having to have drugs-- i didn't understand addiction at all. I didn't take nothing but i drank all the time. I didn't realize i was becoming an alcoholic till i accidentally ended up pregnant an couldn't stop drinking. I had to wean myself down.
Hell ya I do..I hope you live in portland, oregon.... That's where he is but if not I'm sure he can recommend somebody in your area. He's the type of dr that had my back as I was sent to jail once and the jail wouldn't give out subs in my county. It's never been done before; only methadone if u had a script, but never subs. They refused to give me my subs in jail and said they only do methadone and I called my doctor from jail and told my dr what was happening. He wigged, called the police departments and demanded that they had give me my med. My dr told them that they were not medical professionals (and that he was my doctor). Ripped them a new ass. I mean 1 holiday I ran out early (I had his personal cell number so I called him and he phone them right in for me and even lets me consume marijuana. And I stayed with him ever since. 7 years in the sub world that's unheard of. Most doctors who do prescribe subs for people end up bouncing around every year to keep a script, always something or their excuses to cut ya off, but not this guy.
I am an addict with a loving husband who has stuck by my side. He has never been addicted to anything and doesn't really know what anything about addiction. I have used through a good portion of our relationship and I recently had our first daughter and immediately got on subs. Living an H addict or any addict is hard. I have completely made a mess of our life and he an i both are cleaning it up. Some people just have the strength to love someone through. Lucky us. Very lucky us.
