What Not To Say During Suboxone Appt (Page 12)
(Newest replies first)

My 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.

Goto www.suboxone.com and find a new doc near you. Tell him you've never been or taken suboxone before and heard that it helps alot with withdrawl.

If you want to get a script, Goto www.Suboxone.com and find another doc near you that writes and tell him you are on oc pain meds and your doc recomended that yiou go to a suboxone doctor. Tell him that you take 3 40mill oc's everyday and cant afford the meds anymore and that your starting to run out earlierier every month. I want to quit but i need help making it thru the first 3 or 4 weeks. I heard that suboxone helps. Make sure you got oc in your piss it might help. The thing is that every doctor is different. Try not to pay till you see the doc , so if he dont write dont pay. Ha I quit on 6 suboxone 8mg pills and started with 2 then 2 then 1 1/2 and worked down. try to ask around, there are alot more people on OCs and dog than you think and most are in the closet. But when it comes to bangin, your on a whole nother level of messed up. Take suboxone after you quit. Just take 1/2 mg or 1mg a day to help keep your mind together and smoke some weed, it helps alot to keep your mind off of the Heyron.. good luck

Since the Dr.s have to go through a special training program, etc. to be able to prescribe suboxone they will look for reasons to NOT prescribe it, and those who need it most may not get it. My suggestion would be a inpatient facility if you can get the state to pick up the bill, the DR. will continue the suboxone. If not, stick to the facts while saying as little as possible, don't mention a failed rehab attempt ( although technically this should make him a better candidate, not a worse one) and try to look at it from the Dr.s liability point of view, that's what makes decisions for them. Try to appear like a good candidate for rehab, stress the importance of receiving the medication I really want to stop using before it's too late Good Luck

Dr. dont like subs becouse they can keep you on the methadone longer and bill the hell out of you or your ins.

There are only certain doctors that can prescribe suboxone. Maybe he went to a dr that can't prescribe it. Ask over the phone if they do prescribe it. Go in and say he wants to be clean and not go through withdrawls. Maybe say he is going to go to counseling also.

In addition, Suboxone is a very closely monitored drug and only certain doctors can prescribe it.

If he is just taking it like he took other drugs and not actually trying to taper down and get off the drugs, then no doctor will keep prescribing it for him.

A good doctor is hareder to find than a good dog. Pay cash, don't go to a doctor that has every client in need of pain meds. If you have X-rays and can prove you've taken the meds before, you still may have to shop around. Be strait with the doctor, but don't tell your life story. Be percise and to the point; 'Iv'e been on many different med's in the past(don't say the word methadone) and 2 /4mg.name brand Diladuid tablets three times a day along with 1 30 mg. Roxicodone for severe interactive pain helps me more than anything. I take 2 mg. of zannex twice a day for stress and insomnia. Iusually break the zannex in half, or even in four pieces and just take them as needed so I won't run out. I read and I'm on the internet over 12 hours a day.For me it's not the lesser of 2 evils but something that makes life a lot easier to deal with. I have to fly over a thousand miles each month to see my doctor, because when Iv'e started calling #'s in the phone book, they ask too much personal info.
