I was looking at internet pharmacies in order to order my husband's skin cancer cream from Canada (we faxed them a prescription- it's legal) because it's almost $500 here and it's $55 there. Of course, I just had to look around. You really can't buy hydrocodone online anymore, unless you want to pay an absolute fortune and probably have it seized by customs. However, I stumbled upon one reputable site that has buprenorphine for opiate withdrawal. My wheels started turning, but I did nothing. I know nothing about Suboxone, whether it would be good for me or just another think to join a forum about. Ugh! **** you, Norco's! I wish I had never taken one (or five) and found out how they feel. I'm afraid I will be haunted for life. I am not a daily user, but I think about them all the time.

I know that suboxone can help with Opiates but it must be taken in a specific treatment regiment that has to be set by a doctor because they start you on a certain amount and it decreases over time. Have you ever discussed this with a physician?
I've thought about it, but I don't know if my doctor is someone who has the authority to prescribe it; not all MD's can. I am with Kaiser, and according to their website, it is not on their formulary. I know that I can see an out-of-network addiction specialist for $60 and he can put me on it, but then I have no way to get insurance to pay for it. I have to fill at a Kaiser pharmacy in order for my insurance to be taken. The prescription has to be written by a Kaiser doctor.
going on suboxone is a big big deal…really costly,a huge detemination,monthly dr. visits,very addictive,piss test,tons of other stuff…i was sick and went immediately to a licsensed dr.16 mg. a day to start. It can help to stop your hardcore stuff…but you can f around with proper weaning techniques…You’ll never make it. Its way ,way too horrendous --really trust me…I know - i went from 8 to nothing…DONT DO THAT !!!
Suboxone is just another addiction in itself, and it made me so tired I slept all the time, I too am a norco addict and I totally understand what you're going thru. If you can just take some to get thru the first 3 - 5 days (that's when opiate w/d is the worst) and then stop, you may just stop yourself from being so sick that you give in. If you keep taking it, you will develop a dependence, but I don't know how long it takes. I am not a doctor and I'm pretty sure you should be under dr.'s care when on this drug - I have been 4 times. 2x in a medical detox and 2x at home. I don't like the feeling at all after the first 2 weeks, but that's the problem for me, I did enjoy those first two weeks, and like everything else spent the next 4 weeks trying to recapture that feeling and that too like everything else NEVER happened.
after my cold turkey stop from 8 mg.subox. . to nothing …in a house alone for 2 weeks plus…was stupid and dangerous…never just jump off of this medicine. take it serious with the weaning stuff you here …trust me …its a grizzly bear on your neck…fucker wont let go/insane unearable anxiety you can’t beleive…and the mental also is huge…
you dont get this the same if your headstrong enoungh to wean down to little slivers of sub. every 5 days …or whatver .you must go until you feel a little shitty …then ,just a sliver.
jump when your friggin ready …if you beat it ,you’llbe amazed at yourself.
