Hello all,
I am a bluelighter you all know but I am need to be anonymous for the moment.
I hope you all have some suggestions to help me treat my problem. Here it goes...

I have been on Suboxone off and on, since 2008 which is just about the same time it became widely available in my country. My doctor likes to show his knowledge by repeatedly telling me he was part of the clinical trials for Subtex which took place ten years ago and is the go to guy for suboxone in this Country. Be that as it may, he is of the belief that you can't shoot suboxone because it would be a hefty hit of W/D hell. I appreciate the sentiment if he thinks he is trying to scare me out of improper use, but if he believes it himself then,... it is just sad.
It has been 5 days and because i suffer from both Refractory depression, Chronic pain, IBS, and Opiate/polydrug addiction suboxone, I know exactly what "works" and what doesn't. Suboxone works well for a bit of all these conditions at once.
Recently I was accused of "cheeking" my suboxone. the reality is I just started a new job and I dont have time to wait the 45 mins plus for the tablets to properly dissolve and absorb during which time I am expected to be observed by the pharmacist. I ended up cheeking so i could leave and let it dissolve properly which can take an hour (dry mouth currently taking Vyvanse and smoke pot)
In response, my doctor has requested that the pharmacist Crush my 2 8mg dose each day. The powder is great for some things how ever under the tongue it is gone in seconds. Leaving me with a mouthful of lemon/lime saliva that I swish around my mouth for as long as possible which is 7 to ten minutes, before I swallow.
Do I not have a right to take my medication as prescribed?
I was clean of other opiates for almost 4 months prior to this incident while on suboxone this last time.
I am getting desperate and likely wont make it through the weekend with out using. I would hate to be the prescribing doc and who lead the poor sap to OD trying to shoot through a high dose of Suboxone I was told was in place.

thanks for the help
 
He's prescribed that it be crushed, so technically you are taking it as prescribed.

I'd try to talk to your doctor or perhaps change doctors, but beyond that you don't have any recourse really.
 
First off, you can't blame the doctor if someone who is on suboxone therapy CHOOSES to go out and try to break through the blockade. This is not an iatrogenic effect, its an individuals choice.

You GOT CAUGHT (and admitted here) that you were not taking the medication as they clearly require you to (otherwise they wouldn't bother supervising) and I guarantee whether it was verbal or in writing, YOU agreed to their terms to participate in this type of treatment.

I can understand your frustration but I don't think this belongs in OD, its really better suited for your blog. Furthermore, I don't understand why you had to register a new name to post this... doing so is a clear violation of the BLUA anyway and warrants this name being banned. You are not allowed to actively use multiple user names.

PM me if you have any questions.
