Suboxene scam?
My wife is on suboxene and has been since last Monday. The doctor charged us $150 for the first visit and the script was $40 with help from my insurance.
The first script for 16 pills lasted her 4 days. Four 8 mg tablets a day just as the dr. prescribed. We went to the doctor Thur. for another appointment and he charged $120 for that visit and the script was another $40.We have another appointment for Monday and that is going to cost another $120 with the script costing me $40 again.This is getting more expensive than the freaking oxys that got her there in the first place!
What I am trying to ask everyone is. How are you guys being charged? It is hard to find doctors who are able to treat using suboxene and it is Saturday with X-mas coming Tuesday so getting live info from a doctor is a problem.
Is this treatment this expensive or how bad am I getting scammed?
Some one please post back soon. I am getting very upset and I know she needs the treatment.

"You are going to be hard pressed to find a doctor this weekend, but perhaps next Wednesday you can check for other doctors in your area who are certified to prescribe. Go to the Suboxone website and do a search by zip code."
That is how we found this doctor. Lots of the others had waiting lists and or charged around the same for the first visit.I did not get as far as a second visit. We just got to the first doctor asap. She was in bad shape.
By the way. The drug works fantastic for w/d and has been a wonder as for cravings and over all general physical condition.

She is on the highest dose and that is a concern. She should only stay on that dose for 3 days, then go down to the dose that is comfortable for her.
My doctor said a year also, but I didn't want to do that. I am not saying that your wife shouldn't. I am just telling you what worked for me.
I will say that if she stays on the program for a year, she will experience withdrawal when she comes off of the Sub. She will need to wean down -- taper-- before she goes off and she will still experience withdrawal. It should not be as severe as the Oxy withdrawal however.
That is why I say do research about the drug. These doctors don't know every darn thing about it and I urge people to be in control of their treatment.
I hope all these posts helped you some this morning.

everything i see said anywhere from 6 weeks to 1 year. depends on how she does. this is my 2 cents and please take in mind i did not use this drug so i may be talk out of place but she will have wds from this drug..
