should I ask for one or the other when I go to the doctor Wednesday?
sorry I'm new here and out of junk and need off this rollercoaster ride.
 
Welcome JeannieR!!!

I don't know as I have never taken the drug but I figured I would post to this so it pops back up at the top of the board so maybe someone will notice it and reply to you.

Good luck to you!!!! I would also suggest doing a search and typing in suboxone and a bunch of old posts should pop up and give you endless info!

KUP!

This is nuts. I had posted this in a thread. What? I can't tell someone how I found a doctor.

Sorry.
 
JeannieR.....Welcome.....I know when I went on suboxone which they gave me in a "withdrawl clinic" at the hospital, I was told that only certain doctors can prescribe it so, if that is what you are going to try to go on then call your docs office first as he may not prescribe it. I was told by my "addictionogist" doc that suboxone is "government controlled" and doctors have to take a certain course to be able to prescribe it and he was only allowed to have 30 patients in his practice on it at one time. It is very expensive even if it is covered under insurance. I was told that it was $5.00 per pill at a drugstore near us.

I felt calm and kind of drowsy when I first started taking it. At the clinic they gave me also feenabarbitol and serequel and a few more that I forget the names of. I felt out of it until I got off of the feenabarbitol and serequel.

Hope this helps

I was poppin vicodin for 10 years at 45 pills a day then ran out and wanted help, this one doc said you want to try methadone or suboxone? I said let me try suboxone, she cracked a 8mg pill in half and said here is 4mg put in in your mouth and let it melt, 20 minutes later ALL pains and aches were GONE! It is a marical drug BUT...here I am 6 and 1/2 yrs later still on it!!! That first doc was a script writter! I finally found a good doc who how has me down from 32mg a day to 1mg a day. I just got my last script for 15 pills and there 2mg so I krack them in half, I have asked several people on here am I sitll gonna go threw withdrawls? Most of them said yes yes yes, Thats what I am trying to avoid but...we shall see. Suboxone I was told is for short term only, the shorter your on it the better chances of getting off fast. As in my one friend was hooked to "H" and they had her on suboxone for one week, she has now been clean 3 years! Wish I went that way darn it! Any questions I can answer just ask away as I know a little about suboxone. Thanks
