Can any doctor prescribe me Subutodone?  Also I am seeing my doctor today in an hour.  Will this appointment be a waste of time?  I dont want some doctor to just laugh at me and think im a joke.

Hi fishmeal,

the site you gave is only for the U.S.  :(

Welcome to the forum.....

Only addiction qualified doctors are allowed to prescribe suboxone.....
the federal government just increased the ammount of doctors who can do this........

Where can I find a doctor who can prescribe SUBOXONE?
A: Doctors need to be certified to prescribe SUBOXONE. Doctors who are already specialists in addiction medicine or who complete specific training can become certified to treat opioid dependence with SUBOXONE in their offices. Ask your doctor if he or she is certified. If not, your doctor may elect to become certified so that he or she can treat you, or opt to refer you to a colleague who is certified. You may also be able to find a doctor who can treat you with SUBOXONE by calling your local hospital or mental health center and asking whether they have any doctors certified to use SUBOXONE for treatment of opioid dependence.

Thanks yea I meant Suboxone.  But My doc decided tapering was the best.  My wife is holding all the meds.  And so far no withdrawl and my dosage has been decreased.  Ultram is a real arse kicker.  Alot worse then any opiate I've done.

Hey Yoon,

If you mean suboxone not all dox can prescribe that.  I did a google search on subtuxodone and nothing came up.  If you want suboxone, go to suboxone.com and punch in your zip code and you will find a doc near you that can do that.  Keep in mind that it is very expensive and try to use your insurance.
