Well I went thru all steps to get back on Subutex and left with no choices, I asked my doctor where can I get a test and this doctor is a former methadone clinic doctor mind you tells me he don't know ask your primary ok I go to him he told me he don't know find another Suboxone doctor that will give you Subutex haha man what, it's the law in TN now to have the test saying your allergic to naloxone but they have nobody to send me to. I'm trying to get on pain management but there's no such thing according to my two doctors pain management for addicts. Only why I stayed with an addiction doctor this long so I wouldn't be in the situation I'm in now trying to find a doctor that don't exist according to them. Anybody have any thoughts let me hear em, I been clean for 5 years and 5 years worth of clean drug test and not even a speeding ticket, And they took away the medicine that gave me a halfway normal life without any warning or other option, But here's the funny thing my Ex methadone Dr. Told me to go get on Morphine and fentanyl patches the stuff I was putting in my arm in the first place to get here lol man I don't have enough in me to go thru another one of them drug loops, I'm getting to old for that it ain't fun anymore I can't do it. I done it to many times. Hopeless

Now, even a lot of Suboxone docs are dropping patients. There was some new law this year that every private practive Doc must now "join a major healthcare institution". After 5 yrs with her I get a letter: "For business reasons I am no longer dealing with Suboxone and joining Kennedy Health Systems" (YOU MEAN: Now I have to declare all that cash income I was getting and it's not worth it!!!) I have leftover subs but I'm not starting this doc finding crap again. F'd up for sure. Europe doesn't have these issues where people are controlled by pharmacueticals.

Read my comment a few down, I couldn't get an answer from either one of my doctors on how to get the test, My sub doctor even joked that there was only one person in all west Tn that he knew of that could get the papers saying he's allergic to naloxone, You gotta take some kind of skin test but I can't even get a name or recommendation to a specialist that does the test, I'm sure I could get online and call a hundred places and get talked to like a junkie like they do to me at the pharmacy and everywhere else trying to find where to get the test, but I don't got time for that. My former methadone clinic now a suboxone doctor should know where and who to get the test from but nope he don't SMH

I too became very ill taking Suboxone - for me it was pretty easy - I just told me pain/addiction doctor and he then wrote for Subutex only. There are some people for whom Suboxone does not mix well with their body chemistry but you have to get someone to trust you - I do not know exactly why they are so insistent one take Subutex a couple of days and then switch to Suboxone - I think it is due to the fact that some people who are not opioid tolerant are able to abuse the Subutex and therefore getting a euphoric effect that cannot be gotten from Suboxone. Find a good physician who you feel comfortable with and who shows compassion and is not a shaming/blaming/arrogant type and go from there. Not easily done but it's doable if you are persistent in your search - if your motives are sincere then chances are the doctor will see and feel it and write for Subutex. So it has been for me the past 6 years now and i have had no problem at all save for one time but that is a whole diff story. Good luck!!!!

But question doctor...I'm in middle tenn. I have been clean from the needle since October 16th 2013 and subutex helped tremendously. I have gone from hydros, oxys, roxy, perks, fentanyl and illicit drugs to subutex. I do have hep c, have doc paper providing that I am hep c positive going on 5 years now. Suboxone does however make me sick absolutely sick to my stomach, I have had severe migraines as a child and suboxone brings them out full force to the point I'm locked in a cold dark bedroom because my migrant is almost impossible to function with. I do know there are docs in tennessee that will allow cases with hep c individuals be prescribed subutex. My baby brother (my only brother) just lost his life to an accidental overdose in January of this year and illicit drugs terrify me even more now. I've conquered being a junkie, now I just want to go to a legit doctor who understands me as all patients have diff circumstances and get the help that will work for me. If I'm left taking suboxone, I'm just going to be back at square 1 which took me a 7 year process to beat. I'm not making excuses, I'm not feeding bulls*** and giving people what they want to hear...I'm speaking from the heart. I need to figure this mess out. I need a doctor that will work with me.

Because a lot of people abuse subutex, so doctors don't want to prescribe it anymore.

I have been on Suboxone for a while and then there wasn't a generic. When a generic subutex the insurance company wouldn't pay for it anymore and switched me to subutex.Generic. I am probably the only patient who is taking it from his office and I used to go see him every week to count pills. This was how he wanted it for about 6 months and now I can go every month. The insurance company won't pay for suboxone.
