Suboxone Shortage

Updated

I have been on 2mg suboxone for over 4 years to treat chronic back/ neck pain. Yesterday I was told that there is a backorder on suboxone. Suboxone is the only drug that will relieve the pain with out mind or mood altering effects. Has any one heard about this shortage

Yes, there has been a recent shortage listed due to manufacturing delays, though I can't find any more precise details.

Have you talked to your doctor, pharmacist about it? They may be able to suggest an alternative medication, or dosage.

Yes I've been traveling recently aroun time to fill my 2mg pills & manufacture back up- from WV to louisiana where I'm from so having to get dr to write me the 8mg pills again. This site has info: ashp.org/DrugShortages/Current/bulletin.aspx?id=1030 even when the FDA website didnt have any info. I thought they just didnt want to fill my script in WV then got home to hear the same thing- says should start dist. Them late July which it currently is late July & yet no where has any yet!
