Suboxone Treatment: Methadone Symptoms & Side Effects

suboxone treatment - Important information about methadone symptoms and side effects.

How do i go about getting suboxone treatment?
Ok first off, Id like to add that unless your offering helpful advice, DONT ANSWER I will report anyone who calls me drug seeking. This is called Yahoo answers not a bunch of people who are on their high horse, busy bodies. I have a chronic pain condition. I have Fibromyalgia and RA & also chronic fatique. I was in a car accident 10 yrs ago, that i believe initiated the Fibro. I also fell 6 ft onto concrete 3 wks ago & was injured quite bad. I currently take tramadol, 2 vicoden 5 mgs, paxil & a thyroid med. I try to take hot baths, & tried Capsasin Hp, i liked it but when i went to sleep & woke up my legs felt like they were on fire. So i use Icy Hot, Aspercreme, massage therapy & am going to do water therapy.I went to a chiropractor who said i needed extensive work, I dont have insurance, so this is not an option. My dad was cut off his vicodin after 5 yrs, when his doc moved. Even though they said his back is so bad they were surprised he wasnt in a wheelchair. I am thinkin of trying Neurontin. But anyway the Q is are u allowed to get on Suboxone if you are not a hard core narcotic user. I am not addicted, & dont get withdrawals. I have used more than 10 mg of norco. How do you get started on Suboxone treatment? A DOC? Do people take Sub for chronic pain?? & finally does anyone know a pain clinic in the Cleveland area who takes no insurance patients??? thank you And again no stupid comments, if you have never lived in my shoes, you have no idea what my everyday life is like. NO PREACHING

Has anyone had a sucess of the suboxone treatment program?


Can someone in Columbus, Ohio help me find any ways to save on suboxone treatment/prescription?
I really need to know if medicaid would cover this type of prescription, or if there is any insurance i can purchase that would be cheaper than paying my doc $200 every two weeks to see him, then have to pay $200 for the script of 28 every two weeks, i mean $800 for 56 8 mg pills is just outrageous, it's almost 15 a pill. And i have to continue seeing this doc for 8 months twice a month before he reduces visits to once a month, seems awefully long Please someone with better resources????

I have an addiction to Oxycontin,and i have an appointment to start suboxone treatment in twodays?
Im really really nervous I started using oxycontin about a year ago because i had and still have a severe back shoulder neck injury due to being T boned in an accident. I tried all other alternatives first,and i went to the chiropractor,several doctors, and now i am currently still in physical therapy. Nothing helped. I eventually started taking oxycontin to relieve some of my horrible pain,as no doctors were doing anything else for me and i just couldnt take it anymore. The pain is stillthere, and even the oxies dont take it completely away. I didnt even realize how quickly i had become addicted. I started a routine...i would take a line when i woke up, one at 4,one at 7 8, and onebefore bed.Every day. Still do. Even though my pain was and is still horrible,i tried several times to quit because of the money and emotional connection involved with the drug. I was just weary of " needing" this pill and almost dying without it. Every time i tried to quit i had severeanxiety... almost freaking out and couldnt breathe just thinking about when i would get more. A second lasted a whole day. My stomach was in horrible knots. Other stomach issues. I couldnt think straight or function properly... severe muscle pain and extreme tiredness without being able to sleep. My life was on hold until i got another pill. Anyway, i finally made an appointment to go see this psychiatrist who does suboxone treatment.But i'm soo scared. I can't handle the withdrawal symptoms, i just cant, and if it doesnt take those away i'm going to start using again very soon. Is it going to help me? I have to work all weekend...will i even be ableto?Will i be anxious? Thats the worst... i just needto be abletofunction. Im very scared. Has anyone else been through this and know what to expect, willit take all of my withdrawal symptoms away? will i be depressed? I would appreciate any information...thanks greatlyOH and what about my pain....whatsgoing to fix that? if i cant take these im going to be at a lvl8 of pain...but i'd rather have that almost than spend so much ofmy money each week on these pills cuz i have no prescription and its expensive. I think i'm just screwed. Either im addicted and in minimal pain but spending lotsa money, or i'm not but still in excruciating pain that won'tgo away... help????? Will the doctor give me something for my anxiety and to sleep also?? Info ?? thanks

Will a doctor call social services on me (i have a daughter) if i ask to start a suboxone treatment program?
I had my daughter 6 months ago. The doctor's messed up my epidural and now i have permanent nerve damage i already had arthiritis in my back . They gave my percocet and when they stopped giving it to me i find my self buying it on the street. I want to quit. I go through withdrawl when i try to quit on my own. I am intrested in a suboxone treatment program and i have already found a doctor in my area who is certified to prescribe it. I am just scared that when i go in he will call social services on me. i am a great mom and i am scared that because i have a problem the doctor won't believe that. I am trying to get help, but i will not go through with it if there is a chance my daughter will get taken from me.

Please tell me about your suboxone treatment and if it helped you.

Suboxone Treatment Question?
Can a doctor that prescribes Suboxone as part of a treatment plan for opiod addiction, kick anyone out at any time if the doctor wants to?Also, Are doctors that prescribe Suboxone not supposed to call in this medicine if you need it urgently?I am asking because my friend is having some doubts about this treatment option...and the doctor he goes to is not always great to have for an addiction issue...such as this doctor has gone on vacation and been gone longer than planned so my friend had to withdrawl since he ran out of his suboxone. If the doctor was back or had an on call nurse then he would of gotten his medicine he is prescribe and wouldn't of had to withdrawl do the doctor being gone. He has had some issues with how the doctor treats him and I am just wanting to help him through this hard, expensive process. Your answers and any help about the rights patients have, what Suboxone prescribing doctors can and can't do for there patients, and anything else helps alot.Thanks againIf you need to know the state is Washington. Thanks everyone To answer 1 he has thought of doing the Methadone treatment and feels it wouldn't be good since he also abused methadone like he did with other opiates.So we didn't think that would be a good choice but who knows mabye it could work. I have heard good and bad about all treatments, I guess cause all medications for people addiction issues can be bad to some and good to others. Everyone has a different mind frame...Thanks for your thought

How Effective is Suboxone Treatment For Opiate Addiction?
My nephew has been addicted to oxycodone for almost five years. He claims he takes between 120 and 150mgs every 4 or 5 hours. He also crushes Oxycontin and snorts it when he can get it. He was on methadone for a year and did not tell anyone that he was high as a kite on methadone. Once his dosage was reduced, he relapsed and started with the oxycodone again. This has cost him a small fortune, not to mention what it has done to his mental and physical well being. He is now going to try Suboxone treatment. I have read the information on Suboxone. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has had experience with suboxone treatment, good or bad. Addiction is a nasty disease, and I am well aware that it is a family probem. He tells me he became addicted to Percocet after having dental work done, and in no time he was taking large amounts of oxycodone. He is now desperate. He has lost his job and cannot afford rapid detox. Any input would be appreciated.
