BeautifulDisaster, I am happy to hear that you are trying to figure out a way to get into suboxone therapy with your own doctor. I will have all my digits crossed for you I sincerely hope you can find a resolution to that soon. As far as them disqualifying you as a patient….. I guess that would really depend on the doctors personal feelings about how you have been obtaining your subs. Suboxone doctors KNOW we are addicts though otherwise we would’nt be coming in to see them for suboxone to begin with so if I were in your situation and I found a sub doc I wouldnt take any chances on them assuming you have been abusing suboxone by obtaining it on the street so I would not lie but i would not spill all the beans at first. Get in with your doctor really good before you tell the whole story. Usually they will want you to be in minor withdrawals when you come to your first visit to be inducted, so make sure to stop your subs at least three days before your appt, so you will be in some withdrawals. tell them about your original drug of choice and that you have been addicted to it for however long you were, and if they ask if you have ever tried suboxone before do NOT LIE they have tests to specifically test for bupe. just say yes a friend of mine is in therapy and has been encouraging me to get into sub therapy so I did take a suboxone from her to see if it would help me. Then explain that when you noticed how it took all your cravings away you knew you needed to get into treatment right away. leave it at that. Then when the time is right and you have been seeing your doc for a few months and they give you a chance or ask you to tell your story then you can fess up that you got them from a friend for a while after you found out they worked so well for you until you were able to get in to see a doctor for a script. does this make sense? I hope I explained that right….
