I am also addicted to painkillers how can i get this suboxygen

I am a recovering addict who was addicted to pain medication, mainly opiates. I quit the drugs & went into withdrawals for close to 2 weeks. I was hospitalized during the first week of detox. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. After detox, I went into a treatment center for 7 weeks. I was doing ok until the 5th week, then the cravings came back. I was in so much agony & despair, all I could think about was using. My addiction counselor recomended that I talk to my doctor & consider going on suboxone. Luckily for me my doctor is licensed to prescribe suboxone, as not all doctors can prescribe the medication. After a couple of days, my cravings went away completely, & now that I have been on the suboxone for a month, I am doing so much better. I dont plan on being on this forever, but in the short term, it is a tool that is helping me to stay sober. I suggest that u see a doctor who is licensed to prescribe suboxone. Unless u have insurance, the medication is very expensive, about $5 per 8 milligram pill. With my insurance co-pay, I only pay about $40 a month. I also suggest that u look into treatment, as kicking an addiction takes more than just stopping using the drug. If u cannot afford treatment, look into local 12 step groups such as NA or AA. The only way it is going to work is if u really want it to work. Good luck.

sorry to hear this i hope you get better and GOD bless you.

The medication u r referring to is called Buprenorphine.
Which is the generic name. The trade names r Suboxone, & Subutex. The first Suboxone contains Buprenorphine as well as Naloxone. The second one subutex only contains Buprenorphine.

Buprenorphine by it is self is a partial agonist/antagonist opioid. It works on pain receptors but only to a certain point & then it shuts off but it is antagonist properties continue to work. This is why is works to help combat withdrawal symptoms, & cravings. but because it is agonist properties r very weak it is not considered to be a very effective analgesic, at least not in the US.

If one was Dependant on full agonist opioid/opiates IE; Morphine, Oxycodone, Heroin they would find that Buprenorphine would probably only make them sick. These people r usually tapered down to a lower dose or must abstain for a few days in order for the Buprenorphine to be effective.

However if one was not Dependant on agonist opioid/opiates they would find that Buprenorphine may help with pain & cause effects similar to other opiates/opioid but only up to a certain dose & then the ceiling effect kicks in a essentially blocks the drug

The Naloxone is added to help combat abuse; IE prevent injection & to bolster the antagonist properties already present in Buprenorphine.

In the USA physicians must attend special training in order to Rx it for Detox protocols. It is a level III controlled substance.

If u r interested I suggest u check out this website for more information & to help in obtaining the names of physicians licensed to prescribe it.

Good luck

It is Suboxone and you need to be in a medically supervised rehab center or under a doctors' care. You need a prescription to get it.

What the heck is suboxygen? Do you mean Oxycontin? You need a script.
