Need To Find A Pharmacy That Fills Subutex Asap!!! (Page 10)

I have been on subutex for 9 months now. But i have a very big problem next month k mart pharmacy will no longer carry subutex. I live in the tri cities in tn. I have called about 35 pharmacies around they either do not take new people getting subutex or do not carry it at all. I have no insurance i found 1 that cost 340 which is way more than the 215 i paid at k mart. Also some pharmacies I know only carry the small ones which to me do not work as good as the bigger ones. Huge difference. I go back on the 8th next month, so if there is anyone that knows of a good pharmacy in my area your help would be greatly appreciated.

How are those white subs for you? I didn't like them at all, they felt really dirty and cheap to my body. I actually ended going to detox and getting off everything after I got them, they were so nasty. So for me it was a blessing, actually. Well, eventually. ?? I was sick for a minute.

Re: Ann (# 186)

I had been on suboxone for awhile, (nothing) to brag about so please dont think I am, but I have tried I would most definitely say all of the brands they have had for suboxone...not because of pharmacy shopping of course but alot of pharmacies even if ur a regular sometimes they tell you they are out, which may or may not be the case at the time but u have to find somewhere else to go...Other pharmacies have different brands obviously...but I can confidently say the white suboxone by Actavis in the Blister pack round white pills about the size of a dime are the absolute worst! I know people will say its the same thing or its in ur head...NO, they all have buprenorphine in them and naloxone...I honestly think even though it clearly says 8mg buprenorphine its more like 5mg. I cant tell u what the difference is in those and the others. Maybe more naloxone in the Actavis brand? But if anyone has been on the orange AN 415s and then the actavis, vice versa, w.e order u received them in...u would have to say the same...some disagree. Seems like everyone has their preference and always will...but I just cannot even get my suboxone levels up taking the Actavis white suboxone in blister packs and I follow the same method even when my pharmacy is out. my Neuro doctor is certified in addiction medicine etc. and says the correct way to take suboxone is the following:

1. DO NOT: EAT, DRINK, BRUSH TEETH, SMOKE, etc.. FOR 30 MINS BEFORE YOU TAKE YOUR MEDICATION AND 30 MINS AFTER AS WELL.

2. Start off by getting the tablet(s) whatever dose your on. If 2 a day okay same routine even with a quarter. CRUSH the tablet before putting it in your mouth.

3. Place the crushed pill (buprenorphine w/ naloxone OR without) under your tongue.

4. After putting it under your tongue DO NOT SWALLOW OR SPIT and grab a book or whatever he says to hold your head down for 20 to 30 mins... 30 mins is ideal (again DO NOT spit or swallow during this 30 mins). When time is up u can spit it out or swallow because the buprenorphine has already entered your bloodstream, but just in case i usually just swallow it. So after this, like I said NO nothing in your mouth for 30 mins.

If done the right way u should feel quite a difference if u are used to just letting it dissolve..after trying this my suboxone levels did increase over 400 and I felt much not myself. But HOWEVER my doctor even suggested a different way of taking them and I looked it up after he had mentioned trying it...its called "Bupe Shute" ?? if ya know what I mean...I never have done it b4 nor tried it after my own doctor suggested this to me. I have heard its very effective...It would go like this. #1. Buying a needless syringe. #2. Filling it up with 2.5 to 3 of water after letting it dissolve of course. #3. Stick the syringe (NEEDLESS) well u get the idea...it would be something like an enema....and u are supposed to lay that way as well on your most dominant side... He said u have a mucus membrane in ur rectal cavity all the things ur jaw/ur tongue require which is why you just cant swallow the whole tablet itself...except this method u dont have to wait 30 mins to eat, drink, brush your teeth, smoke, etc. You can do all of that immedietly after....like I said my doctor recommended this which made me feel a tad uncomfortable lol.

As for my Subutex (buprenorphine 8mg) I finally went to Blankenships in Johnsoncity, Tn. They filled it with no problem although they were a bit pricey. They were around 86.00 there, and with an Rx coupon, I can get 14 tablets total for right at 40.00 at Walgreens. If only I could find one to fill them and that's actually my main pharmacy & they still wouldnt... Anybody with no insurance can get 14 Suboxone (buprenorphine w/ naloxone) for a total of $53.74 @ Walgreens, and some places. You just have to check different places. Hope that info helps some of u guys.

Re: Jonah B (# 173)

They perscribe subutex to women that at pregnant because also not only but (also) because they may need other pain medication such as a spinal tap could not be successful if on suboxone and believe it or not...subutex is suppose to be easier to come off of that suboxone because suboxone I more Lon term and the suboxone....and the subutex affects the unborn child...lwaving the child opiod dependant when born and I havent seen anything work and more sad atleast I haven't than see an innocent baby born dependant on a drug and having withdraws but if a woman was currently on suboxone who she got pregnant its also dangerous to come off of them while she is...though some do it can also harm the baby.

Re: Verwon (# 1)

Last I heard... Subtext was given to pregnant women who were then switched over to surprise after delivery or after nursing. This medication is not normally given to an addict unless then have had allergic reaction to other drugs. My thoughts and prays are with you.

Re: Stacg (# 183)

Is your doctor in WV or another state? I know of ONE pharmacy in Morgantown that will fill PA scripts but they will only fill them from one clinic (clinic in Point Marion, PA) and you must pay cash. It is really expensive, costs $240.00 for 32 tablets though.

I live in West Virginia and found a new clinic in Point Marion, PA. The clinic is exactly 0.7 miles over the WV state line into PA. I did find a pharmacy to fill the prescription but the tablets cost $7.50 each and paid $240.00 cash for 32 tablets which is extremely expensive. I have filled scripts for Subutex written in WV at the same exact pharmacy before and they accepted and billed my insurance. They refused to accept my insurance for the script from the Point Marion clinic though because it's a whole 0.7 miles across the WV line and that's ridiculous. My insurance covers my prescriptions at any pharmacy that accepts the insurance in the entire United States. I could get a prescription written in Idaho and filled in California and my insurance would pay for it if the pharmacy accepted the insurance.

I am once again looking for a pharmacy in WV, PA, MD or even OH that DOES accept Medicare with Symphonix Value Rx by UnitedHealthcare for prescription coverage and will accept it for SUBUTEX. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I will give up some pharmacy names and locations I know of to get PA scripts filled in exchange.

Even if someone can give me the name of a pharmacy that's accepting new patients, will fill a PA script for a WV resident and charges less than about $5 per tablet for the 8mg Subutex, that would be appreciated, very, very much and I'll still share some pharmacy names and locations.

Re: AWV304 (# 193)

I know you're not asking about TN but if you or anyone else wants to know about a great (ma and pa) type of pharmacy that is accepting new patients it's "Gray Pharmacy", in Gray, TN. Very nice people. I am a woman, and get 8mg subutex for pain...yes u heard right, pain, and for another fact, on suboxone I was loosing so much weight and got headaches and I had taken suboxone for quite a long time...I do know this pharmacy takes insurance, but I do not have it. This pharmacy has been there for me for awhile and welcomed me back with open arms when I even switched. They give out the 54411 WestWard Pharm subutex, the Roxane's.... Hope this helps some of you! If you are looking to get something filled around you and cant...tell them u are going to have surgery the next day and don't know what else to do. It worked for me before I tried going back to Gray... Just a suggestion, Good luck to all.

Re: AWV304 (# 192)

Also, anyone paying cash for 14, it's 60.00. So 28 would be 120.00. They are per pill there at (Gray pharmacy in Gray, TN)...little pricy compared to Walgreens. With a discount card it's like 49.00 at Walgreens and Walmart is 30.00.

I was finally able to find a pharmacy in MD that had NO problem filling the prescription and billing my insurance. The pharmacy staff was absolutely appalled that a pharmacy that accepts my insurance for every other medication in the pharmacy bluntly refused to bill my insurance.

I now know of three pharmacies that will fill out of state scripts, one fills at the pharmacists discretion and must be verified by contacting your treatment center (MD), one fills but only for certain clinics and must pay cash only and is $240.00 for 32 tablets (WV) and the last accepts insurance or you can pay cash and cash price is $99.00 for 32 tablets (MD). I will happily share this information with others. All I ask is that you also post your pharmacy name if they fill out of state scripts in return.

If you do not mind traveling to MD, I know a pharmacy that will probably fill for you, maybe even two different pharmacies in MD.

Re: Coco (# 198)

You're going to havw an extremely hard time getting any pharmacy in WV to fill an out of state script from any state. You'd probably be better off to get it filled in MD where the Dr is, that's more likely to happen. I am also from WV but I don't know of any pharmacies in WV that fill out of state scripts, at least none accepting new patients.

I have heard Preston Family Pharmacy in Kingwood, WV will fill out of state scripts but you must be a resident of Preston County and your ID must have a Preston County address (can't use someone else's ID either). I was told they are not accepting new patients but perhaps they have a waiting list.

Some other pharmacies you could check with are CVS in Sabraton WV, I've heard they fill out of state scripts, Kingwood Pharmacy in Kingwood WV, not sure if they carry the medicine and Bellldinas Pharmacy in Masontown WV, usually not accepting any new patients. Otherwise your best bet may be just taking your script around to different pharmacies until you find one. I've heard certain Walmart Pharmacies fill out of state scripts as well so maybe check a few Walmart Pharmacies.

If you do find a pharmacy in WV that fills your script for you, please do share the name and location of it with me. I too would like to find a pharmacy closer to home in my own state. I am currently going to the Dr in PA and traveling to MD to get my prescription filled and it's well over a 150 mile journey one way.
