What To Do If I Need Surgery Or Am In A Wreck On Suboxone

Updated

Here is my ?'s. I have been taking subs now for 7 to 8 yrs or so. I went to my dr and told him i was going to be having lots of teeth taken out. What do i do? HE SAID LETS STOP THE SUBOXONE. SO THE pain meds will work as long as you do take subs for 3 days before should be good. Then the ky rx would not fill the #5 lortabs because i was prescribed suboxone. When did the pharmacist get the right to not do there job? I explained the deal as i stood there in pain, so no choice but to get what I could. That's what scares me. Is there a drug made that can cancel out the suboxone in case of emergency or do i have to just suffer (should i ever need open heart surgery or any surgery? Lots of questions to come. Thanks. Wandering in Ole KY

Hello, Luebbert! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem you had.

Your doctor or dentist may need to contact the pharmacy to clear it for you to get it filled. Since you're on Suboxone, they may have been concerned about a possibly abuse/addiction issue.

The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

As to surgery, there are still anesthetics that can be used, which aren't opiates, so they will still work. Special consideration will just need to be given afterwards for what can be used for analgesia.

Is there anything else I can help with?
