out of suboxone need help fast

Hello everyone I'm new here and have a couple questions. I have been on suboxone now for a year, I just cannot afford this stuff anymore. I have a 3 month old baby and 4 other children to care for and I have enough suboxone left for 1 day. I desperatly need to find a cheap doctor or a dr that accepts tenncare insurance in nashville tennessee. I cannot go through withdrawels, it is horrible, I did it once for 3 days while I was pregnant because I couldn't afford it and omg I felt like I was dying. Someone anyone do u know of any doctors here where I live, I need to get in quickly like within the next couple of days. It is so nice to see people here that understand suboxone and no how bad the withdrawels are. My previous dr acted like withdrawels were no big deal and u can do it no problem. YEAH I would like to see him try it I wanted to say. Thank u all and any help I wouls appreciate on finding a dr or refer me to yours.

By Gini:Babygirl I am in the same spot. Been payin 150 a month 2 my dr but have tncare. Its just 2 much. I went 2 the website and it gives u names but doent tell u if they take tncare. Call Here 2 Help.....they put u on the phone with a rerson that can tell u which 1 takes ur ins. I have that united healthcare and I'm callin 2moro. Its bs. Dr's got my hooked on opanas and roxys but don't care 2 help me get clean......its sad. Best of wishes 2 u. If u find 1 email me at mary.***@****-motte.edu and send me ur email and ill do the same.

you stated--- "My previous dr acted like withdrawels were no big deal and u can do it no problem. YEAH I would like to see him try it I wanted to say. Thank u all and any help I wouls appreciate on finding a dr or refer me to yours."


its amazing how many times I have seen and/or heard this......

your right, the problem is they never had to go through it,nor have a clue about it, when it comes to wd off sub.ofcourse that depends on what you and your doc, decided to do, and often addicts themselves keep it rolling along.....because they are still addicted to an opioid. hence why a good,knowledgeable sub doc is a must when going on sub.

how much was it costing you?

If you go to the suboxone website www.suboxone.com you can enter your zipcode and itll bring up a list of docs.
Good luck.  I know your fear.  I am happily over a year off suboxone.   You can kick it if you want to.
