I KNOW A SUB DOCTOR WOULD BE BEST, I mentioned METHADONE--HE'S AFRAID OF IT..LOL! KNOWS SOME ONE WHO OVERDOSED & DOESNT WANT TO GO TO A CLINIC EVERY DAY. I KNOW HE DOESN'T BELIEVE ME ABOUT HOW EASY DETOX IS ON SUBOXONE, I WAS THINKING IF HE COULD DETOX ON TEMGESIC, THEN PERHAPS HE'D GO FOR THE BUP PROGRAM. ...???? JUST A THOUGHT! HIS COST FOR HYDRO IS $22.00 FOR 120 .....HIS WIFE WORKS AT THE HOSPITAL (CLEANING) AND THEY LET HER & ALL HER FAMILY GET SCRIPTS FILLED AT HOSP. PHARMACY AT OR NEAR COST . I'M PICKING UP THE PHONE RIGHT NOW TO TRY AND FIND A C-H-E-A-P-E-R SUB DOCTOR, WHEN I DO, I AM HOPING HE'LL GO WITH ME. FORGOT TO MENTION HE'S ONLY EXPECTED TO LIVE 5 YRS MAX. SOME RARE INHERITED DISEASE-HIS ARTERIES ARE LIKE AN 80+ YR OLD SMOKERS. I"LL PM YOU STUPID THINGS MY QUACK IS REQUIRING ME TO DO --OF COURSE IT INVOLVES MORE $$ TOO--WISH HE HAD TOLD ME THIS AT OUR CONSULT, INSTEAD OF MY 4TH OFFICE VISIT! I THINK HE IS CHANGING HIS PROGRAM UP DAY TO DAY. ONE THING -HE SAID THE FED. GOV. REQUIRED ME TO SEE A COUNSELOR AS LONG AS I THIS MEDICATION & HE HAS TO HAVE PROOF DOCUMENTED......NOW HE HAS HIRED ONE WHO WORKS IN HIS OFFICE... ($95.00 FOR 20 MINUTES! )PLUS I CAN'T SEE HER ON THE SAME DAY THAT I SEE HIM! SO..THAT'S AN EXTRA TRIP EACH VISIT (5 HRS TOTAL DRIVING) I STILL DONT KNOW HOW LONG I TO GO SEE HIM WEEKLY? I'M GUESSING FOR A MONTH-WHO KNOWS?
WHAT ABOUT THE TEMGESIC, IN THE MEAN TIME? HE WOULD HAVE TO ORDER IT-I DON'T DO IOPS! DO YOU KNOW A RELIABLE SOURCE?-OR WHAT THEY COST? ANYONE???-THANKS-HOPE
