How Can I Get Subutex Not Suboxone? (Page 7)

I don't know how to go about this as I am shaking and can barely focus, I need help! Please. I fear that my life is going to end from my abuse of opiates. I am currently taking 250 mgs of oxycontin per day. I have a loving fiance and a stepdaughter that I want to be here for. I sit here with cold sweats, and fear going out just because I may make the fearful turn to the meds. Any and all info on how to obtain Subutex would be much appreciated. This wasn't what I wanted my life to be, and I can not let it end this way..Please help me. I am not a religious man but I pray for help as I am at my wits end with this drug.

Are you still seeing Dr Polite? I have been switched to suboxone from subutex and am not happy. My Dr will not budge. I am considering the 3 hr drive if you say it is worth it.

how in the hell do you take 750 mgs methadone daily? I mean I could see like 300 getting your own and copping two more doses but effen hell 750 mgs. 750 mgs is probably enough to kill a non tolerant horse, literally a horse (IV equivalent dosage of course). you've gotta taper man don't really wanna know what that is like but good luck getting off the s***. I think I would wonder if my body will ever be the same again.

well thats the thing. if you arent good and sick, its too soon. methadone takes a while to get out of you. 48 hours minimum. or you can listen to verwon and take it right away and go into the worst wds EVER.

seriously...48 hours minimum for the 'done.

Thanks i appreciate the advice. The honest advice i should say. Unlike that verwon person giving out nothing but LIES!! I personally experienced the w/ds when i took the subutex too soon. I wanted to die!

ya, I thought had experienced serious w/ds until I did that. those precipitated w/ds brought on by the subutex too early? o my holy hell, I was climbing the walls and BEGGING my hubs to smother me w a pillow!! he just started shoving trazodone down my throat til I finally passed out. I NEVER want to experience that again. NEVER!! I hope you are able to successfully make the switch.

and whoever said they were on 750 milligrams of methadone? is LYING. that isn't even possible. the MOST I have even heard of someone being on is around 250. and believe me, 250mgs of methadone is a LOT of juice. I am on 70, having gone down from around 90. 250? hell naw.....

I have hep c and the suboxone is giving me headaches and sharp pains in my stomach, i went to a doc today and he wrote me suboxone, which to my understanding if you have hep c the naloxone hurts ur liver from what ive heard and read. What would be a way to get my doctor to prescribe subutex?

i was lucky with my doctor. when i started on suboxone, i didnt even realize that there was such a thing as subutex. now i have stomach issues anyway. so when i went back to the dr. to check in after a week of being on the suboxone, i told him it was all good except that my stomach was just wrecked the whole time. he said it was probably the naloxone in the meds, and he switched me over to subutex. i also have hep c, but we did not yet know it at the time that all this happened.

Hi,

What state do you live in? All you have to do is google Suboxone doctors in your local area and once into see the doctor just tell him/her that you prefer Subutex. Thats exactly how it worked for me.

Your totally right about that! I was on Methadone for 10 yrs and switched to Subutex but didnt like it and switched to Suboxone. Although I truly wanted to be clean tho. I didnt use at all. Just the Suboxone. Ive been on Suboxone for almost a year now and its been very successful for me. I hope you all the best of luck! :)

Hi. Its been almost 72 hrs and im finally feeling alive. Man i thought i did the switch right. From done to subutex. Everyone says wait 72 hrs and when feeling w/ds. I did that. And it took this long for the subs to kick in. The first couple days were hell. I dont get it. I guess everyone is different.

Jonb: Glad to hear your feeling better. It was pure hell for me too when I switched to Subutex after 10 years of being on Methadone. It did take a long time to kick just as you said. Once you get to your comfort dose you'll be comfortable. You'll know when you hit the right dose. How may Subutex do you take a day? I switched tho to the Suboxone film. It works best for me by splitting my dose throughout the day. My doc has me on 3 Films a day so I take one at 9 am and then another at 12 noon and my 3rd one I take at 5pm. If I take it any later than that I cant sleep at night. If I were to take the 3 Subs at one time they seem to wear off 4-5 hours later. Its the same if I took 3 at a time of 1 at a time. So its best for me to split it up throughout the day. Hope the Subutex works for you. If you log onto suboxone.com they have a lot of beneficial materials to help you through your addiction treatment. I use it daily. Good luck to you!!

Hi Glor: thanks. Im feeling back to normal now. I was on 45 mgs of done for about 8 mos. lowered my dose down to about 25mgs. Then made the switch last wed to subutex. I waited 72hrs from my last dose and was in w/ds. So i thought i did it right. But all wednesday i was sicker then a dog. I even went to dr and asked if it was normal for me to be that sick. And he told me everyone is different. I wanted to die! But i made it through hell for 3 days. I just kept taking the subutex 8mg in morning and 8 at night.

are u starting to feel better? and dont hesitate to tell your doc if you arent because you def need to be on "enough". i was on a fairly low dose of done when i switched over but since i was a pretty long term H addict, i needed a pretty high dose of subs. good luck to you.

Man most of y'all apparently don't know what the hell you are talking about. I have been on suboxone and subutex. I prefer subutex. I have been prescribed subutex for almost 3 years now. it's saved my life. I used from the age of 12 till the age of 24. I've been sober for the past 3 years. suboxone doesn't make you sober. you can still partake while on it, just like you can with subutex and they say that subutex doesn't have no option they're full of s***. it does like I said. I've been on it for years and there has been a few times where I Relapsed and tried to take opiates. Guess what, four days later 2000 dollars down the drain still feeling nothing. So yes subutex works just as well as suboxone. To each their own. Certain people react differently. Suboxone makes me sick as hell. I can't take it. Subutex is the best way to go for me.
