Question 1

is there any suboxone doctors on here?

Accepted Answer

YES: There are several doctors on like that treat opiate dependency. You need to ask a specific question.

Question 2

if you already see a suboxone doctor can you change doctors?

Accepted Answer

: Changing doctor is patient's right but it's sometimes limited by authorized medical insurance.

Question 3

what to do if i have my 1st appt at a suboxone doctor in a week.. need advice!?

Accepted Answer

What is your ?: What to do is keep your appointment if you have an opioid dependency, which i would imagine you do since you made the appt with a Suboxone provider. He will ask you questions, you answer them.  He should give you all the information you need to decide on Suboxone treatment, and should also recommend ongoing counseling. You can get more information about Buprenorphine online (www.Suboxone.Com).

Question 4

lost my suboxone doctor of six years and need a new one because six years on suboxone cannot just stop?  as hard as i've tried i can't find a doctor

Accepted Answer

See details: You are absolutely correct. You cannot stop opioids suddenly. If there are no pain specialists in your area, talk with your primary care doctor if you have one. The doctor will hopefully handle your prescription until you can find a pain specialist. Call your local hospital and find out if they can recommend an appropriate doctor.

Question 5

can you help me find a suboxone doctor that would accept ambetter of tennessee insurance?

Accepted Answer

: Sorry, not on this forum. Why not call your insurance carrier for assistance?

Question 6

can the suboxone doctor be able to tell if i don't stay away from herion for 48 hours?

Accepted Answer

If you aren't in: withdrawal, he may not want to treat you.  If you have heroin on board when you take your first dose of buprenorphine, it is very likely to throw you into withdrawal, which can be severe.  Doctors are trained to make sure that people who start on suboxone/subutex have not recently used other opioids and are at least in mild withdrawal. If you just used, your pupils will be pinpoint as well.

Question 7

a friend of mine is prescribed the suboxone. i don't have the funds to pay out of pocket to a suboxone doctor. i don't think my family doctor can. ?

Accepted Answer

I would suggest you: look into publicly funded programs in your area that provide suboxone.  Many opiate treatment programs (methadone programs) have added suboxone.  You need to look into getting health insurance of some kind. In many states, medicaid has been expanded and you can qualify for that, or there may be other Affordable Care Act access to treatment programs. Good luck in getting help.

Question 8

what suboxone doctors in maine participate in the prescription monitoring program?

Accepted Answer

Suboxone doctors: You can look up Suboxone doctors through samhsa (substance abuse and mental health services administration).  Here's the web page where you can click on any state and find doctors:  http://buprenorphine.Samhsa.Gov/bwns_locator/.

Question 9

i needed help comeing off suboxone doctor is useing nucynta (tapentadol) to wean me off is this ok ?

Accepted Answer

Experimental : This has not been studied by research. Nucynta (tapentadol), (tapentadol) a class ii mu receptor agonist, is likely more habit forming than suboxone, a class iii. However, Nucynta (tapentadol) is unique in that it increases receptor norepinephrine & serotonin. Duloxetine & venlafaxine are similar but without opiate activity. Each situation is unique; you & your dr need to determine what's best for you. Hope you success either way.

Question 10

i am traveling with husband while in school again and need a suboxone doctor who i can see virtually until we decide where we are going to relocate. i have thought about switching to methedone because of lack of insurance. can you help?

Accepted Answer

Hope so: Personally I woud not prescribe a controlled substance without seeing the patient in person (mostly retired). I would encourage you to stick with Suboxone if you can possibly afford it. Methadone is a nasty drug. Sub. does come generic for some relief in cost. The Suboxone website lists licensed doctors and their locations. Hopefully, one is near and will help.
