Subutex Doctor - East Coast - Help Me Find One Please!!!! (Page 6)

I have been on Subutex for a year. My Doctor has retired, abruptly. I cannot find another physician willing to prescribe me Subutex (24 mg. daily) instead of Suboxone. I travel a lot w/ work. I would be grateful if anyone could tell me ANY Doctor anywhere on the East Coast that prescribes Subutex. Suboxone breaks me out in horrible itchy rashes and welts, makes breathing a little difficult and gives me blinding headaches- within ten to fifteen minutes of taking it. I am serious about recovery. Can someone help?!

She doesn’t take insurance directly but gives you the forms to fill out and you send to your insurance company. So as there is a limit of how many patients they can have its best to start close to home and branch out from there. Crazy to drive from WV to PA once a month, plus in the beginning it may be weekly or bi-weekly. Then get down to 1-2mg ’’’’ASAP’’’’! Even though there isn’t much feeling associated with any dose, if you are without that 1mg for more than 2 days they say its much worse and longer to get off of then Methadone, which is hard to believe. Hope you find someone, stay well….. -C

Thanks for your post. I am a recovering addict, working in NY, presently, having a hard time to get a prescription up here. Apparently many addicts and not enough docs, here, so there is a waiting list for months. Anyway, I am legit, recoverer, been on subutex for a few years, it saved my life. I can take suboxone, or subutex, prefer subutex for generic cost, and have a psych in Texas I see when Im there who knows, me, but I really just need a doc to see while up in the northeast, like I said I
can take either cause it all works but really just need someone in the next month on a friday if at all possible. I see your in NJ, is that offer still avail? THANKS

Only other doctor I've had experience with was Dr.Nabil Jabbour in greensburg also...he did prescribe TeX after I got bad side effects from suboxone...however he wouldnt let Me go above 4 mg/day...that just Didn't work for me...maybe ull have more luck with him! he never did UA's either...a friend gets TeX from Krienbrooke phsycological services(in Greensburg also...not sure if spelled correctly) but I believe they go through insurance so may be a waiting list

You can see comment from “Grace” below or the Dr. Blanchfield I posted below, but they all have a limit on the number of patients they can have at once. Plus you can’t just go in and ask for Subutex, they will usually tell you it is only prescribed to pregnant women. Plus they are very strict as they are closely monitored and seems they will be getting worse, don’t know why, there is no “High” involved at least for me when I was on it. Methadone was much better but going to a clinic once a week (if you are lucky, after daily, then weekends off) and all the pain of tests, counseling, u.a samples make it not such a viable option, unless you live next door, even then clinics close up at any time. Then leave you to drive miles in all kind of weather, no excuses. I had a friend that had to get to his clinic, it was during a huge blizzard, and he said “You just drive and I will get out and shovel snow for 30 miles each way” Both of them are like you are in prison, you have to get there, but there is always some snag or new rule. Better just to sweat it out, if you are sick. Then there are the people that want to get on just to sell on the streets, taking spots from people that really want to be helped and can’t do it on their own. Most people that are working or have a family can’t just curl up in bed for 3 weeks and say they have a cold, they need their job and family so they have to sacrifice…….

Dr.Daniel Teet and Dr.Nabil Jabbour are both in PA!! Krienbrooke psych services also...but believe they have a waiting period. All in greensburg pa...Dr. Teet has been a big help for me and suggest trying him if in your travel distance....I thought 120 was a lot per visit but has been well worth it to me...

Very long drive, did you get monthly at least as most docs that give Tex make you come bi-weekly. Or may be because he was giving Ritilan also, as first the sub or Tex make me feel all right. Then the Tex made me tired and I needed to work/family so he tried Ritilan. Then dropped down on everything, so then I was depressed and tired. Started 24 mg per day Tex and 20 mg Ritilan, then went down to 4 mg per day Tex and 5mg Ritilan both of which I would cut in half-dose and do half in morning and half at night, around 7-8pm depending how I felt. Seems a lot of people split their doses so they don’t have to wait so long. I have been off for 2 months now and still feel so tired, still have to go back for UA’s but I always hear the nurses on the phone saying he is all filled up. So no chance for me to get back on, which is probably a good thing. Good Luck to you all, just get better and back on track.

Dr. Blanchfield is the same way, one screw up with any drug and you are out, but since you are on Tex, I thought you couldn’t take any form of opiate anyway as receptors are used by Tex and you wouldn’t feel anything.

Just my opinion but when I was prescribed this for pregnancy last year they xanthine legally just rip u off of it for one drug check. I mean Im sure they CAN but it's unlikely. I'm now prescribed subtext do to an allergic reaction with swelling of my hands and arm and feeling pains through my finger tips .. He mentioned when he switched me that it may be something related to carpal tunnel? Not sure exactly but anyway... I think you're in the clear. Try Jamaica Plains Boston

Some Dr's will take you out entirely for just one. I've heard such terrible things and now I'm really worried. I am really new to the program and I probably still had drugs in my system from before I even started the program. It would be nice to know what type of diagnotics most of the dr's use.
