Hi I get prescribed 60 8/2 mg suboxone sublingual strips a month. I just went to the dr for my script, now my insurance will pay for them today but every pharmacy I go to tells me too early. I'm leaving for fl in the morning. I need my meds today. every pharmacy is disrespectful. I'm about to tell my dr the dope boy never gave me an issue about coming too early. I'm about to buy 2 bundles that should last me 10 days. I wanna stay clean but it's so hard dealing with the dr, insurance, and pharmacy. it's freakin me out. what should I do? ## Hello, Derrick! How are you? I'm sorry, but there's really nothing that can be done about this, they aren't supposed to fill controlled substance prescriptions early. The only idea I can think of is asking your regular p...

I'm hooked on opiates and want to stop. I've heard that methadone can help, Is this true? How does the program work? ## Hello, Victoria! How are you? Methadone can help, but it may not be an ideal solution. Most people that use Methadone to treat addiction end up requiring a lifelong maintenance dose of it and you have to go to a clinic daily to receive your dose, though after awhile, you may earn the right to have 2 weeks of take home doses. Another option, however, would be Suboxone, which has allowed many people to become completely drug free, it also helps prevent the abuse of other opiates, while someone is being treated with it. In some cases, your first dose is supervised by the doctor or your pharmacist, but usually after that, you get a month's prescription and retu...

How hard is it to get off Suboxone? I take 24-28 mg. Suboxone Dailey and have been for over a year now. How hard is it going to be to quit taking the Suboxone? Thank you I was addicted to opioids for over 15 years and got tired of being dependant on them but the withdrawals are so bad and hard do they ever really go away forever? ## You better make sure u take MONTHS to get off subox.....do not do it fast? I did & I suffered like a dog for weeks. Do it slow & you'll b fine guy. The withdrawals go away & you'll return to normal & even the urge goes away. NA also helped me.

Does a Suboxone prescription written in Delaware have to be filled in a Delaware pharmacy? ## Yes, in most cases pharmacies from other states will not fill it, since they cannot verify that it's authentic. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and headache. is there anything else I can help with?

I need to find my brother help! We live in Cleveland, Ohio and there is no one around here that can help him get this prescription (Suboxone). If you know of any information please contact me. Thank you ## I also posted this in response to the other post, vbut will place it here as well just in case you don't see that one. The only way to get this drug for addiction treatment is through a certified treatment center where they docs are specially trained in its use, your family doctor and other treatment centers cannot prescribe it.

I live in a Smaller town in South Carolina than you can imagine! No one here gets around too well if you don't have a vehicle, and I'm one. How can someone like me get Suboxone filled online while using SC Blue Medicaid? Any suggestions are welcome! ## I would suggest calling the Medicaid number, and asking if they have a mail order service that you can use, you may also want to check with local pharmacies and ask if they have delivery services. The FDA warns that Suboxone carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

My doc is in Tennessee and my insurance doesn't cover it because I am in Kentucky. ## Zero, you have to move. You live in a state that doesn't care about quality of life. Blame all these kids now abusing Suboxone. It's a very sad world we live in. ## Can you pay out of pocket? Suboxone is a lifesaver for me and my husband, and if you can find a way to pay maybe in installments, I suggest trying the generic! ## I have heard that they will fill these at Bedingfield pharmacy in Pembroke pharmacist name in Nelson Family owned and these girls have said if they go in close to closing he gives them a much more personel customer assistance these are written by Dr Bynes although it seems if all that is needed hospice should be at your side in the soon to be last mininutes.

I want to to know if my MEDICADE will COVER my PRESCRIPTION of SUBOXONE and or the DOCTOR visit ## What Medicaid will cover can vary tremendously from state to state depending on current regulations and funding, so the best suggestion I can make is to call your caseworker and ask them if they know. Learn more Suboxone details here. Alternatively, you could also try calling one of the doctors that treat with it in your area and ask them. You can find a list of local doctors at the website Suboxone.com Can you post back and let us know if you have any luck and what you find out? ## It does in Alabama Medicaid will cover Suboxone scripts here ## Yes I have sc Medicaid and only pay $3.40 for a month supply regardless of the dosage. ## I found if you call the drug store two days before you t...

I am on my way to opiate addiction, i want to use suboxone to detox and try and kick the habit. ## Hello, Og! How are you? There is a search feature on the Suboxone website that allows you to search for a doctor in your area by zip code, their contact information will be included, so you can call to see if they are taking new patients. You can find it at Suboxone.com.

I can't find a dr taking patients is there a way to get suboxen prescribed in line or something ## Hello, Chaz! How are you? I'm sorry, but no, that would be illegal. Since this is a controlled substance, law requires that you are physically seen and evaluated by a doctor to have it prescribed. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction. It has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Have you tried using the search engine on the Suboxone website?

I have just moved to south FL. and been on methadone for 10 years. I have all my records, but Dr's. in FL are all scared to take on new people from out of state. Trust me when i say It's only to take care of my 82 year old mom that I moved. I will be moving right back to Ca. when I can, but for now can anyone help with a DR.? It seems they have no problem putting you on suboxone which is a very $$$$$$$ narcotic, but does nothing for pain. ## Hello, Tim! How are you? Sorry about the problem that you're having. Are you checking with doctors offices by asking if they'll prescribe Methadone? If so, that's likely a big part of the problem, they will see that as being drug seeking behavior. Your best bet is to set up an appointment with a doctor, without asking if they...

Are there any medicaid mma plans that covers suboxone ## Hi Chris, According to the link below, Medicaid coverage for medication like Suboxone is said to vary "considerably" by State. See FAQ #4 on the following patient list: buprenorphine.samhsa.gov/faq.html You didn't mention what State you were in, but Florida is the only State's program I'm seeing information on when I type in MMA, so just wanted to double check that. Looking online at Florida Medicaid's drug formulary, the closest thing I found to Suboxone (Buprenorphine + Naloxone) was a combination of Pentazocine + Naloxone. It may also be a good idea to contact your local Medicaid office (human resource department) for more specific details involving coverage and whether or not they allow any exceptions t...

I'm in Texas for 60 days and my script is due in a week. Can my dr. call it in, in Texas from New Jersey? I talked to CVS and they said yes. Is this true?

Had a script for adderall that was written in Orlando Florida Massachusetts says no. Thankfully New Hampshire few miles out of my way , filled it.

Is there any assistance for this drug? Also is there any patient for Percocet ? ## There are no assistance programs for Oxycodone, because it is a generic medication. In addition it is very difficult to find programs for most controlled substances. As to the Percocet, which contains Oxycodone and Acetaminophen, the proprietary patent ran out quite awhile ago and it is available as a generic. Is there anything else I can help with? ## If u need a program for assistance with getting off the oxys try your local mental health substance abuse program, they offer free counseling and suboxone programs,methadone and oxydose programs all free thru community mental health to help withdraw ## Trying to help a friend who is paralyzed from waist down and enduring several health problems.
