Hey everyone, what's happening BL'ers?
I was wondering if anyone has experience working with a suboxone Dr when they have a polysubstance addiction, particularly being addicted to both an opiate and a benzo(NOTE: both are not prescribed)? In my case its fentanyl and Xanax.
I almost never take the Xanax in doses of more than 1 mg(2mg/day, 1 in AM, 1/2 afternoon and evening) so it basically does nothing except control my anxiety. Actually the only time I really will do more is when I need it, when I am having a severe anxiety attack(I have one appx 1-2 times per month).
Also, what about methadone clinics? How do they approach a person who is seeking methadone treatment but is also addicted to Xanax (non-prescribed)?
