So Thursday I made an appointment with my psych doctor whom I've been seeing for over a year now. I recently found out he is authorized to write prescriptions for suboxone. This being said I've come to terms with my addiction and am going to seek help aside from my normal visits with him. I've always denied any substance abuse with him, that being said I am kind of afraid of how he is going to react when I spill my guts to him. He current has me on and ssri and Xanax, and I'm deathly afraid he is not only going to deny me the suboxone but cut off my Meds also because I haven't been honest with him. I really need this to work out well for me as this is pretty much my only chance to reclaim my life back. What are your thoughts on my situation here?
 
Your best bet is to be completely honest with him. You're not asking for pain pills, but for something meant to help those in your situation. I was in a similar situation and my pdoc was very happy that I was finally honest with him. Being psychiatrists, they know something up.

I would expect your xanax to be cut off and maybe your SSRI depending on which one you take. To be honest I found all my head problems went away after several months of being sober.

Congratulations on taking the first step, the road to sober happiness is long, but worth it in my short experience being there. Good luck sir!
 
I really appreciate the replays! Larc I do believe most of my mental issues are due to my dependency on opiates, as the times I've tried suboxone in the past it's gave me such a clear mind. Best experience I've had aside from being snockered off good old IV heroin, which is the whole reason I'm seeking this help.
 
Same thing happened to me but I had been seeing my psych doc for more than 6 years. I had loads of medical problems and brought in all the meds that my primary, gastro and pain doctors had given me because I was frustrated and still not brave enough to tell him. I could see he was surprised seeing oxycodone but right away he suggested suboxone. I was so relieved that I didn't have to hide it anymore. He did switch me to alprazolam XR instead of the regular ones. Just go ahead and be honest with the doctor. You will be glad to get it over with and get off the opiates.
 
Suboxone really is a great tool to pick up the pieces and get back on track without having to deal with the same friends and situations. Breaking the circle of relapse for good hopefully.
 
I feel very relieved reading all your stories. I just hope this goes as well for me as it did for all of you. He is kind of a hard ass sometimes and I'm just afraid he will cut me off with no help.
