Got back late last night from a 3 game MLB series in Atlanta to find someone had broken in our home! I am missing numerous small items, mainly jewelry, and the prescription medication is gone too, all of it!! Naturally we called the police, they asked lots of questions, opened an investigation, filed a report....etc.....I am devistated over losing my expensive jewelry (uninsured) & and I feel violated, knowing someone was going through my things...On top of that, I dont think I can get the one medicine I need the most replaced!!! SUBOXONE!!! I called the pharmacy & offered to fax them a copy of the police report...they said "sorry, you'll have to go back to the doctor". My medication was filled another state, where my doctor practices....and I have only seen him one time.... he told me if I lost my prescription, I was "out of luck" because he could not replace it...He said if he gives someone a script for ANYTHING ..even oxys..and they lose, misplace it, whatever..he has no problem re-writing a script for that....BUT ..suboxone is different....It is so closely regulated that his hands are tied. He thinks this is unfair and ludacrous, but...he has regulations to follow and apparently Suboxone is something "big brother" is closely watching! I cant believe this has happened to me! I couldnt reach the doctor but I left a message on his machine....that was hours ago and he hasn't called back......He is VERY good to return calls promptly! In fact, this man is one of the finest doctors I have ever met.....I dont want to cause any problems but GOOD GRIEF-I need my medicine and am scared to death! Can anyone help? What now???-Hope
Sorry about your loss hope46, but I believe you might be misinformed. What you said about your doctor replacing oxycodone but not Suboxone doesn't make very much sense. Oxycodone is a schedule II narcotic and Suboxone is schedule III, which is much less controlled. Suboxone even contains naloxone to guard against misuse, so it's not that difficult to get a doctor to prescribe it, compared to oxycodone.
I'm not doubting your word, it just doesn't make sense that your doctor would not re-prescribe this drug.
You are correct about the scheduling....my doctor said that exact same thing.
He is a pain management specialist and he said he has never had any trouble (as far as complying with regulations) prescribing schedule 2's.... or 3's. It is just something about this particular medicine........?????.I know it doesnt make sense to me either,( and the doctor said it doesnt make sense to him!) Government regulations making an exception???? I was hoping someone out there knows something and would be able to explain it!-Hope
