So I have struggled with opiate addiction for a few years now, Off and on. Well I’ve been pretty heavy on opiates for about a year and a half now and I’m just having a hard time stopping like I have in the past it’s just come to far this time the sickness is unbearable with the w/d considering on average I’m doing atleast 5 to 6 opana 30’s (Iv’ng). And I’m ready for some professional help to where I can be maintained to be constantly off of opiates forever. My dad who is a huge help is an ex addict as well, and he buys a bunch of suboxone off of his good buddy every month when he gets his script and then I buy some from him and they work so amazing I don’t even crave ANYTHING. So leading to my question now.
I want to start seeing a suboxone doctor, but to be honest I’m a little scared about it as I know nothing about it except some of the basics.
1.What can I expect on my first visit? I know I’m supposed to be in withdrawal when I go in but I won’t be because of the suboxone I have and I have been clean of opiates for about 5 days now and don’t want to start back, so is the suboxone that is already in my system going to be a problem with the doctor or can I just tell him the truth and tell him I was so sick that I couldn’t stand it, it was either take the pills again or take the suboxone and I chose the subs. Will that be a problem?
2.are there any kind of requirements that a doctor has to go through on the patients end before he can prescribe the suboxone?
3.Is the therapy that I keep hearing and reading about absolutely required and if you don’t your prescription of suboxone will be stopped (wondering because I can’t honestly do the therapy two or three nights a week because I’m working 12 hour days Monday through Saturday and have a two hour commute to work but I am currently seeing a therapist and psychiatrist at a community services office for my area) would proof of me seeing them be enough for the doctor to let me to foraward without there talk therapy?
4.I have also heard that your first month or two you will have to come in like twice a week to see the doctor and then move to monthly appts has this been true in your own experience? (I really want the help but can’t afford to see him two times a week at a $75 co-pay plus what the prescription cost)
5.currently the only medication I take is concerta (extended release Ritalin) and that is prescribed by my psychiatrist will that be a problem when it comes back in the mandatory urine screen?
6. And last question is, is suboxone worth it to you, has it made a big and positive impact on your life?
I would really really appreciate the answeres to my questions that I hope I get, I’m so ready to get done with this addiction but like I said I am honestly scared of the whole experience of getting started on a suboxone program and your anwsers of personal experience and knowledge will help me in so many ways! I’m currently looking on suboxone website now for authorized doctors able to prescribe it. I thank everyone who helps in advance!
