Hi gin! If u feel u need 2 remain on suboxone 4 a longer period of time, u will need 2 find another Doctor who will continue 2 prescribe it 4 u. I've been on it 4 almost 8 years now, and, I don't plan on getting off it anytime soon. I suffer with a lot of back and medical problems, also. I do understand how u feel. I have a GREAT Doctor, so, I'm very fortunate.

Hi Gin, Have you talked to your sub dr. about your pain issues. Has he made any suggestions.
Your problem is not uncommon. Lots of people got on subs because of abuse of legally prescribed pain meds that they were taking for real pain problems.
Some sub drs seem to forget that the whole problem started because the patient is in pain.
You might want to remind him of this if its so.
