Did your doctor retire abruptly?

Have you asked your "PC" or your husband's to check for you? Or ... check this out online? Goggle 'Subutex Dr' It will bring you to a site to search for one. Depending on how far you're willing to drive, type in x amount of miles from where you live, then click search. There has to be a Dr .... it's him/her that's hard finding.

You were forwarned your Dr was retiring? A good Dr doesn't usually leave his patients up in arms.  Hmm, it is what it is ...

Hi,

If you go to: Suboxone.com and enter your zip code they will give you a list of prescribing doctors.

I have to suggest when you find a doctor that you begin your detox. Seven years is a long time to be on Suboxone and not at all what the program was designed for.

Best of luck to you.

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for you to be posting in.

This place is for folks that want to RID THEMSELVES of addictive substances (such as Suboxone).

Try posting in the Pain Management forum. They may be able to help you.

Good luck.
