I've been using suboxone 8 mg 4 pills aday for about four years. my doctor resides in new jersey and i now live in north carolina since may 1,2007. before my wife and i moved here i told my doctor about the relocation, he filled out and letter of my history of treatement and told me to locate another pain management doctor when i arrive in NC. he further told me that he could no longer treat me while i m
living in nc. he gave me 90 pills of suboxone to last me until i find a doctor. while i was unable to find at this point August 2007. I ve been to the hospital twice for wd. i had to beg my new jersey twice to
give me addtional pills, because the doctors here will not treat me unleast i am seen by their doctor
for six months. he was also told that he was suppose to continue treatement until he finds a doctor for me himself. he refuses to help me and i am about to be out again. what can I do, i can't work of fear of WD. i am a disable police officer with a back injury that occured in 1999. i've been on several drugs before being treated with suboxone. i thought your doctor is responisble for his patience ,now what could i do?

Is sub a pain reliever?  I did not know this.  Can you get on something else?  Go to a pain management clinic?

why have you been on Sub for so long?  i thought it was used for getting off narcotics, but then you stop using it - ?
