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

Updated

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.

Not all Doctor are prescriber's, you have to find a doctor, GP,that is also a prescriber.

I have someone presently who has been cut off his suboxone because he is outside of the clinic jurisdiction. There are no other sub doctors in the area. (rural Montana) We are trying to find him a medical detox. This would need to be anywhere in the Pacific Northwest. Does anybody know any medical detox for him?

Not true for me...I went in to treatment on day 5 of withdrawals. Perhaps checking into out patient treatment first even if for a week would grease the wheels by documenting the addiction with professionals. ???

Unfortunately, you are so right... Suboxone is a game changer. It completely eliminated my cravings and I took 120-200mg/day of oxy, and my life was not my own. Methadone didn't help. I just wanted more. Suboxone makes me feel NORMAL and I can live my life without constant fiending. I am happy and motivated and have good energy to be a functional person. Anyone with opiate addiction should try suboxone in my opinion. In the next few years the scales will tip and it will be the norm in lieu of methadone. It's a partial agonist plus antagonist so it makes taking real opiates not feel good, which creates a new biofeedback loop in your brain to have an aversion to real opiates. Can I get a hallelujah?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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....

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?
