Question 1

would i be able to get my suboxone im already prescribed through here instead of the other dr i have been using?

Accepted Answer

: This is the free site of HealthTap where doctors give advice by answering questions-no prescriptions are given here. But, even on the paid side of HealthTap where some prescriptions can be given, suboxone cannot be prescribed as it is a narcotic. So, you should get your suboxone from a doctor who is seeing you regularly in person. Best of luck to you!

Question 2

can i get narcotics prescribed after suboxone use?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Follow up with an addiction specialist is recommended.

Question 3

what are the reasons people get prescribed subutex instead of suboxone?

Accepted Answer

: Subutex (buprenorphine only) can be prescribed if the doctor thinks or trusts patient who won't abuse subutex by using this drug intravenously. Suboxone contains both buprenorphine &amp; naloxone which will cause a withdrawal effect if used intravenously.

Question 4

is there a medicine i can get prescribed to help me get through suboxone withdrawal?

Accepted Answer

Doctor's Advice: The best treatment for Suboxone withdrawal will be contained in the advice one receives from their own prescribing physician. That is because, we cannot know the ins and outs of your particular case here on healthtap. So, the best advice I have is to see a dr if you don't already have one. If you do have one, discuss tapering off Suboxone in a systematic fashion. Doing it alone leads to relapse.

Question 5

im going to see a doc sat morning to get prescribed suboxone. how much will an online coupon help in price? i understand its expensive without insuran

Accepted Answer

Averages $98/14pills: CVS and Walgreens have for about $60 for 14 pills.  I've seen various coupons ranging from $10 off to 50% off.  Depends on your coupon.  But without a coupon expect to pay about $120-220 per month.

Question 6

i was put on suboxone in order to stop prescribed oxycodone for pain. how long should it take to get off suboxone?

Accepted Answer

Getting off suboxone: It sounds like you were started on Suboxone after taking other prescribed opiates (including oxycodone) with a plan to taper the Suboxone and come off of all opiate pain medication. The length of your Suboxone taper should be determined in consultation with your doc, and will take into consideration your clinical response, dosage, prior length of tx with opiates. Always take exactly the Rxed dose.

Question 7

i am currently prescribed suboxone 8 mg a day and eventually would like to get pregnant. is it safe for the baby if pregnant while on suboxone?

Accepted Answer

Opioids in Pregnancy: Methadone is the only approved medication but buprenorphine is becoming more acceptable.  Practitioners generally use subutex rather than suboxone.
According to the National Institutes of Health, 2010:"Babies born to women addicted to opioids fare better when their mothers are treated with either the addiction medication buprenorphine or methadone than babies whose mothers are not treated at all".

Question 8

should my boyfriend get prescribed suboxone? my boyfriend wants to start being prescribed suboxone for his opiate addictions.  personally i don't think he has an addiction.  he does do opiates on occasion and at one point was addicted to heroin.  when he

Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. This is a complex issue. There isn't a simple answer, nor can a conclusion be made via email.  Since your boyfried is interested in a recovery program, he needs a comphrensive substance abuse evaluation by an addiction specialist.  Information obtained usually includes a very thorough history of all substances used, amounts, chronology & chronicity. He and the medical provider will get an idea of how serious the problem is and then he will be offered appropriate treatment options. It is not possible to say with the paucity of info if he needs to be on an anxiolytic or antidepressant medication. However, there are usually fairly stringent indications for use of suboxone. I hope that he does well in dealing with his addictions. Take care.

Question 9

i am prescribed suboxone, clonidine, ibuprofen 600, methocarbynol trying to get custody of my kids and i took a drug test for dcyf and she said it was positive for codeine would these cause a false positive for codeine? i told her no way?

Accepted Answer

: Many common meds can cause a false positive for Opiates. these include: Dextromethorphan (cough syrup), Diphenhydramine (benadryl), Doxylamine (sleep aids), Tramadol (Ultram- pain reliever), Quietapine (seroquel- antidepressant), Levofloxacin/Ofloxacin (antibiotics). Your next step should be to have a confirmatory blood test which is more specific for each med.

Question 10
