Dr That Prescribe Subutex

I have a metal rod that has 5 of my vertebrae fused together so I experience pain but do not ewant a lot of the strong pain killers I get addicted to. Suboxone requires at least 48 hrs of detox before use and I have children and a job so I do not have 72 hrs to be out of commission. I'd like to start on subutex immediately. ## I am sorry, Nathan, but Subutex requires the same detox period. You must be in full withdrawal, or they might throw you into dangerous precipitated withdrawals, which the FDA lists as possibly including nausea, vomiting, chills, fever, and seizures. There is also a risk of them being fatal. The active ingredient, which is Buprenorphine, takes a stronger hold on the opiate receptors in your brain than other opiates do, so basically kicks them out, which can cau...

I need a subutex doctor ASAP near Phoenix. I have been on it for a while and I am new to Arizona. ## Dr. Baljeet Singh in Glendale will prescribe subutex if you are pregnant. He did for me 6 years ago. However, I recently went to him and would not treat me because I am also on xanax. So as long as you are not taking xanax or on any other drugs he will prescribe it. ## I know this is old but check out Dr Scott McCall it's called Southwest Behavioral Health in Phoenix they take ahcccs and prescribe suboxone Subutex and methadone ## Did you ever find a doctor who wrote you for both the subs and xanax by chance? ## They will prescribe on a case to case basis. I've been on Clonopin for 31 years and willing to decrease but not coming off.

Can any doctor prescribe Subutex? Or does it have to be a psychiatrist? I asked my family medicine doctor about it (which was over 5 years ago) and he never heard of it. I feel like a piece of trash going to these clinics standing in line to get my dose. ## You can get a three day approval notice that you have to print out and take to your physician that can give you a few extra days to find something that works ## Hello, Gina! How are you? Any doctor can prescribe it for pain, but only those that have a special waiver to treat with it are allowed to prescribe it for addiction treatment. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Is there anything else I can h...

I live in Fort Meyers fl. I am currently on Suboxone and looking to be put on Subutex. I am pregnant and my doctor will not see me anymore. He says the contract I signed stated I wouldn't become pregnant. He referred to me to a methadone program. Which i do not want to have to do. Any advice is welcome. I am tapering and plan to be off in 3 months. ## Hello, Jeannie! How are you? Congrats on the pregnancy! As to finding a doctor, I think the easiest way may be to ask your OBGyn, they can usually refer you to a doctor that will treat pregnant women. The FDA classifies Subutex as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

I have been abusing opiates for the last 5-6 years and I've tried a million times using suboxone to try and get off of it but I just can't bring myself to get sick enough to where I can take it, and the very few times I have it didn't work and made me sicker I'm guessing because my tolerance is so high. I desperately need to find subutex but am hearing from some people that doctors only prescribe suboxone now but I just don't believe it. There has to be a doctor somewhere that will prescribe it, especially since its on the streets! Can anybody please help?! Does anybody at all know a doctor that will prescribe it to me?? I live on Long Island in New York and will travel pretty much anywhere in the state to get it. Please help me!! If you don't feel comfortable po...

I am seeking help. I am from the Winston-Salem area of North Carolina. I am an addict of 18 years. It is time to quit. I have friends who have left the addiction circle. They have successfully taken buprenorphine. Here is my problem. I am severely allergic to the blocker in suboxone - naloxone. It is not an option for me. I have a dear friend who gave me her remaining subutex tablets. She tapered off and is clean and doing well now. I have been clean for 1 week which is a PHENOMENAL accomplishment for me! I am afraid of what will happen if I cannot find a doctor who will prescribe the subutex. Please, will someone out there lead me in the direction of a Physician/MD/Doctor that will write me Subutex?

I am in need of help finding a cash doctor/psychiatrist who will prescribe subutex? If you know of a doctor please let me know. I don't have insurance therefore suboxane is $10 each and subutex is $3 each at the pharmacy! That's exactly why I need subutex no other reason! ## Dr Deal in Greenwood, IN. He is a psychiatrist and it's $175 the first month. You receive a 2-week script and then go back in 2 weeks and pay $25 to take a drug panel and get your 2-week script, then you go monthly.

I am currently in treatment and have been for 3 months. I am allergic to Suboxone but was put on it anyway even though another doctor in the facility personally witnessed my allergy to Suboxone. I also had the same exact reaction to Bunavail. I was taken off my Subutex which I had no problem with and put on something I am allergic to. I do NOT wish to continue seeing a doctor willing to risk my life because they are that afraid of the DEA. I am seeking a doctor or treatment facility within an hour drive of Kingwood WV in Preston County that WILL prescribe something that is Naloxone FREE.

Hello i just found out i was having a baby i have bluecare insurance does anyone know a doc that prescribes subutex and takes my insurance and is in murfressboro tn please help ## I don't know how it is in TN, but judging by down here in GA, where I live and what I did when I found out I was pregnant and surprise surprise got laid off my job a week later. My best bet was to go get emergency Medicaid. And they would do anything to help you get off and stay off drugs, like they did for me. They paid for me to be in a private rehab center where they could monitor me and the baby and there were doctors and nurses there. So if suboxone makes withdrawal for and your child more bearable and safe, they'd probably have no problem with you having them since you'll be in a safe, clinic...

To the people that are prescribed the Subutex and were asking the chat board questions about: If you are not a pregnant or breastfeeding woman as of July 1st 2015 then you will be prescribed Suboxone or something else but never just plain Buprenorphine. As far as the orange Halfmoon generic Subutex, you take them the same way that you would take any other kind of subutex / suboxone; they are sublingual. ## What state are you referring to in the above comment? I'm a receptionist at a recovery clinic in PA we have not discontinued prescribing subutex. I have faxed or called in a total of 37 prescriptions this week alone. I think people come on the internet asking about different brands of drugs (not just buprenorphine) to see how other patients have reacted to the brand. Pharmacists c...
