Finding Subutex Dr?
(Newest replies first)

I am really having a hard time finding a doctor who treats with Subutex and not Suboxone. I have chronic pain syndrome and relief-seeking behavior soon became drug-seeking behavior. My psychiatrist put me on Subutex, and my pain was reduced a little, but I wasn't so much into drug seeking anymore. I was treated for 5 years. Then I moved, and I can't find anyone in Ohio who does this. I might have to move back to Chicago! Any suggestions?

REPORT

JAMES: When I was on Subs, my doctor would occasionally give me a low dose of Klonopin if I was having trouble sleeping, or if I was lowering my dose. But then he knew for a fact that opioids were the only thing I ever abused, and that I would only take the benzos as prescribed. But yes, many overdoses have happened with benzos and opioids, so I can understand a doctor's reluctance to prescribe the two together.

I seen your post about going to Richmond to get subutex, I live in Indiana also between Marion and Wabash on 15 but I have been on 8mg Subutex 3x day and half mg of clonipin 2x day going on now for 4 years but my Dr quit at the Indiana Health Group he referred me to another Dr there and I asked him if the New Dr would change my meds and he asked me if I was having trouble I told him no then he said you don't need your meds changed and the other Dr will not change them because you are doing so well on them. Well the new Dr wanted me to change back to Suboxon and to stop my clonipin, and I told the nurse that my old Dr that quit promised me he would not change my meds. So she said if you don't want to do what he says then you need to call a new Dr and we will give you 1 month of your prescription and release me so o have called every Dr all over the state and cannot find one and I am out of my meds, I hate to say this but I am back taking Drugs again I cannot go thru the withdraws of stopping my meds all at ounce, I have had 2 mild strokes and my family Dr said what Indiana Health Group done to me was wrong unethical and cruel because she said going into bad withdraws like that I could have Another Stroke and Die this time my left artery in my neck that goes to your brain is blocked 100% and I am living on my right side. But my Dr that was prescribing me my Subutex gave me a 1 month supply each month and you said that you had to go each week. Does he do monthly programs and is he taking patients I have very bad back problems also and the subutex kept me off of drugs and helped out my back so if you could can you find out for me and i hope you get better do not let a Dr give you the same amount of a Drug for years I do not understand why my Dr did not start tappering me off of the subutex but all he and the group just wanted money they do not care about anyone I know a girl down there told me that

I need to find another dr that prescribes subutex and clonazepam together. My dr at the indiana health group has been prescribing me 8mg 3x day of subutex and I have been taking clonazepam for around 17 years and it's only a half mg 2 x day and that's what he started out giving me. Then he switched to 3 x day but I only took it 2x day. He also prescribed me 100 mg of zoloft and 225mg of lyrica. So I have been taking those drugs except the clonazepam for 3 years, then he decides to quit the indiana health group and they want me to go on suboxone, but it makes my blood sugar go way up and I have to use insulin, but on subutex I don't use insulin and they even made me go to my diabetes dr to get proof that suboxon does that to me. Now they kicked me out of the program to be clean and off of opiates. They gave me a 1 months supply of my meds and told me to find another dr, and I really am upset about this and so is my family dr. She said it was unethical and cruel because when I run out of my subutex I am going to go into very bad withdraws. So now I need to find a dr in indiana that will prescribe subutex and klonopin together and the chances of that are almost none.

DESPERATE: And I CLEARLY said you are just plain WRONG about "the same amount of Suboxone and Subutex" being different, and the ONLY thing that would be different is the way the Naloxone affects you. Yes, I know what you said there, and you are CLEARLY wrong. The fatigue and headaches have nothing to do with the Bupe itself.

As far as the rest of it, you didn't CLEARLY say anything. I mistakenly thought you were looking for a new Dr. because you were being "switched" to Suboxone from Subutex. Heck. I didn't even know there were "clinics" that gave out Subutex, just private doctors. There are no "Subutex clinics" where I live. I WAS TRYING TO BE HELPFUL SO EXCUSE THE F OUT OF ME, CRAP!! But since you write like a 5 year old, don't use any punctuation, can't spell, don't capitalize, and basically just write big long run-on sentences, your comment is a bit confusing and hard to follow. So no, as far as most of your comment, you didn't CLEARLY say anything! You actually made it as confusing and UNCLEAR as possible. I really hope you are able to find a doctor. And I ALSO hope you get over yourself, because you sound like an arrogant d.bag right now. An arrogant d. bag who can't form a coherent sentence. Just not a very nice person at all. CLEARLY.

I clearly said that just because they have the same amount does not mean they work the same at all! I also clearly said i was on subutext and looking for a dr to replace my current one due to work n not being able to get off!!! I never said i was on suboxune I can not function on it it makea me super tired headaches and just have no energy and everyone I know or talk to about them says the same thing so your reply was very unnecessary and not in the least bit helpful

DESPERATE: Sorry to disillusion you, but 10mgs of Suboxone and 10mgs of Subutex are indeed the same amount of Bupe. (And yes, I have taken BOTH) What is likely going on is you are having a bad reaction to the Naloxone in the Suboxone. Headaches, pain, nausea are side effects of Naloxone, and obviously those symptoms are also common in withdrawal too. I really may just be the Naloxone. I am allergic to the stuff, and couldn't function on it, so I was switched to Subutex. Have you told your doctor about these side effects? See if you can get documentation, even if you have to go to the ER, that you can not tolerate Naloxone.

GAGELLE: Thank you for posting that. It is too bad that many people (including some DOCTORS apparently) are unaware that the BUPE ITSELF is an opioid antagonist, not just the Naloxone. This is where people get into trouble. So I appreciate you posting that. No matter how many times I post this myself, there will always be SOMEONE to come along and say the same thing: "as long as there is no Naloxone in it, you are fine!!" Which is not true.

BULLS***. I AM A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE (SURFER) WHO HAS HAD 37 SURGERIES. I AM PHYSICALLY ADDICTED AS NEVER ABUSED PAIN MEDS BUT WITH NEW LAWS ECT SOMETIMES HAVE TO GO 2-7 DAYS W/O NARCOTICS. I AM GETTING OFF MY PAIN MEDS TO BETTER MY LIFE AND ALLEVIATE THE WITHDRAWALS AS WHEN IN WITHDRAW, IN MY PROFESSION IT CAN END UP IN MY DEATH OR OTHERS. RATHER BE IN SOME PAIN THEN KEEP GOING THROUGH WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH NOW. I AM NOT SEEKING TO CHANGE MY LIFE AS I'M NOT ADDICTED TO THE OPIATES MENTALLY. DO NOT JUDGE PEOPLE W/O KNOWING THEIR SITUATION.

Sorry, that last reply should have said CANDYCANE. Are you able to get Subutex instead of Suboxone? I am so glad I was able to make the switch. I was so sick from the Naloxone, I would not have been able to do the Suboxone if the doctor hadn't been able to give me Subutex.
