Subutex and oxycodone
Can u fill a subutex script from one doctor and then fill an oxycodone script from another doctor? They are different medications and different schedules the subutex is schedule III. and the oxy is schedule II. I am receiving a subutex script from my doctor once a month and then my other doctor gives me oxycodone when I have surgery . I have filled for 20 oxy's before while on subutex without problems, but if my doctor writes me for 60 oxy will that b a problem?

13 Weeks Pregnant taking Subutex
I have been taking subutex for about 7months now , before that I took suboxone for 2 yrs . I like the subutex a lot better not near as groggy and less headaches. I have been very careful about not getting pregnant and somehow it happened . I take half of an 8mg tablet 3 times a day but here recently since being pregnant it doesn't seem to be working as well , I realize I have a lot of extra blood flow and am assuming that's probably why. Also everytime I go to put them under my tounge within 2-4 mins the morning sickness kicks in and I throw everything up including the majority of the pill . Well it's 9 days till I get my next refill and I'm out and I don't know what to do. Should I call my Dr to see if I can refill early or what ? I guess I'm just afraid to ask him but I don't want to withdraw and risk a miscarriage :-?

Mixing Pain Meds And Subutex, Suboxone, Buprenorphine
Former Heroin addict....I have been taking 32mg of Subutex daily for almost 2 years now for addiction treatment and also for chronic severe pain. My question is: Is there anyone else on here that has been on Subutex/Suboxone/Buprenorphine for a long period of time and tried taking other pain meds with it? What were your results? Do you still do it? Have you found a way that you can still take other pain meds sometimes without any adverse affects?

white pill with 54 411
This is generic subutex, not suboxone, which means that it contains only buprenorphine. Suboxone has naloxone as well to discourage patients from injecting the pill. The exclusive patent rights for the drug expired in Oct. of '09

can subutex be a small whit round pill with 8 on one side and an arrow on the other
My friend takes 8mg subutex and when he picked up his script today, they weren't the usual white tablet. They were white and the size of a 2mg subutex with an 8 on one side and an arrow on the other. Could his pharmacist have made a big mistake or are these just a different brand??
