I Need Help on What I Should Do for My Prescription(methadone vs Subutex/suboxone)?
Question by Michael: i need help on what i should do for my prescription(methadone vs subutex/suboxone)?
2 years ago i broke my l2 in a snowboarding accident. it was horrible! 7 days in the hospital, so much pain that i couldn’t sleep or do anything for months after. i wore a brace for 3 months and finally recovered and went to physical therapy. i’m 24 years old btw just wanted to throw that in there. anyways, i became dependent on pain pills. it started with 5mg oxycodone, then went to 10mg, then 30 mg oxycodone when i would have pain. eventually the pain became less, but i still had to take the oxy because i was dependent both physically and in a way mentally. about a year later i stopped off and on and eventualy was prescribed by my GP 10mg methadone for pain. i took this for about 4-5 months and he eventually told me he couldn’t give me anymore and i had to see a pain management specialist. i followed up and went to the pain management doc, and they suggested physical therapy. this is about a year later. i didn’t like the fact that i had to come in 2-3 times a week for exercises i could easily do at my home on my free time. i was also withdrawing from the methadone. i went to a psychiatrist who specializes in detox and he gave me suboxone. i would feel so crappy on the suboxone. i’ve tried subutex before and i remember it was a bit better. it made me feel better and allowed me to be more lively. anyways, i had a relapse for 1 month so i recently went back to my psyciatrist. he gave me 16 methadone pills. and i did a 4 day methadone detox. i used the methadone for 4 days and then on the 5th day nothing. i did use a little tiny bit of suboxone.

What Doctor Can Prescribe the Pill Called Methadone, and That Take a Saginaw Health Plan Coverage?

Answer by angelwings
any doctor can prescribe it, but they need to know WHY you need it. Call your doc and see if he can get you into a pain clinic ( if it is for pain) or into a rehab facility ( if it is for drug abuse treatment). They might not be able to tell you whether your insurance will cover it. If you are in Saginaw MI, call Covenent and ask them if they know of any pain clinics/ rehab facilities. Good Luck

Most medications/prescription drugs are safe to take during breast feeding.
I don’t think you need to go out and buy formula. That’s unnecessary.
I know that some HIV/AIDS drugs are the ones that you can’t breast feed, while taking them.
