Could you weigh in on this? Personally I doubt this isn't going to go on your medical records, there's just too much risk. What if you were to get into treatment in one area and then try to get into treatment again in a different area? Surely this is the sort of thing that would go on your record to prevent this kind of doctor shopping, and that before issuing ANY script for bupe, GP records would be checked and updated

Speaking from experience, they don't fuck around when it comes to methadone or bupe and rightly so. Also, you'll be drug tested before treatment and you'll usually need to fail for heroin metabolites specifically, as least in my neck of the woods. Plus you'll be tested during treatment and they'll find it odd you'll fail for codeine/morphine but not 6-MAM.
Lastly, using bupe instead of or in addition to dihydrocodeine is a horrible idea. Bupe is mega potent and will fuck your tolerance right up to the point DHC won't work anymore, even completely disregarding bupes blocking effects. This is a really poor idea, though one I totally understand, I wanted to get on OST to have my cake and eat it, so to speak. That is, as an insurance for when I ran out. It sounds great, but it doesn't work for long, with bupe because it has such a long acting blocking effect and you have to go in everyday and take it supervised bar Sundays means you pretty much can't get high at all, which also means in your case DHC won't work for pain either. It works better with methadone, but only below 60mg and even then you'll need way more gear than you used to use, which in your case would render DHC practically worthless.
I used to lie and put a lot of spin on what I told any medical professional, usually to downplay any issues I was having or because I convinced myself I knew better. All that happens is you don't get treated effectively and you just end up fucking yourself. Be honest with them and more importantly yourself. I'm not having a go because I used to do it myself, but you will save yourself a lot of pain and wasted time if you engage properly with your doc and lay your situation bare. Spinning this web of lies to get yourself into addiction treatment, to take a highly potent opioid under the guise of "pain relief" and avoiding "the stress of getting extra opioids and going through withdrawals" whilst trying to hide this from your GP, your main treatment provider so you can continue to get opioids from him too? It's pretty crazy dude and I am 99% sure they will know the second you get started into it. Then you're out in the cold with your GP and the addictions service, no one trusts you and everyone is pissed off because you weren't serious about either course of treatment. How do you imagine that conversation with your GP will go after he finds out? Do you think he will stick his neck out for you again? You may well lose your DHC script if you get on OST, but you may not, or you may get it back eventually, but only if you are frank and honest.
Hopefully reading this will help you realise that whatever situation you are in is spinning rapidly out of control if you think that this is a solution to your problem. Again, not insulting you, just trying to make you consider the ramifications properly.
