Hi,
After years of prescribed opioids (oxy), I have had the surgery and have been put onto a reduction that means I have to turn up 6 times a week which is frankly impossible. They simply will not offer me a weeks supply. With juice (methadone), I can imagine diversion but I have NEVER heard of buprenorphine being diverted. Has anyone heard of this? I was initially given 3 x 4mg tablets which caused serious side-effects (like not sleeping - not good for someone with epilepsy). Then they put me on 6mg which worked find until 1 day I couldn't make it to the pharmacist and was thrown off the program.
They pharmacy won't deliver or allow someone else to pick up for me so as I see it, this is excluding me because of my physical disabilities. Has anyone else ended up in this position? I actually turned down 20mg oxycodone [TID] to prove I was trying to stop but right now I am going to go back to the consultant. She prescribed oxy, my GP refused to script them! Amazing. I actually know that it doesn't matter if someone had an opioid problem in the past, if their is sufficient pain and disablement, the past doesn't matter.
It's just getting to me.
