Hi sevenfive. You’re in a predicament…that’s for sure. I feel bad for what you’ve been through with doctors before & now. Sometimes, the medical establishment just really goes overboard. It’s so unnecessary for you to continue to suffer when simple common sense tells you that you’ve obviously got a problem with some component that is present in Suboxone and not present in Subutex.
Which got me thinking…that may be the key. Beyond the obvious (naloxone) have you investigated the exact differences between the two drugs? You should be able to get ahold of a package insert for the Suboxone tabs and films, and for the Subutex. I would compare the ingredients, down to any additives, dyes, etc and see if anything stands out at you.
If you come up with any possibilities, then I’d recommend doing some research on those. From that point, if you come up with anything that even looks remotely like it could be the culprit, I’d try to determine if what you’re experiencing is just some remote side effect versus a true allergy. If there is a possibility that you have true allergy to something, I’d get in touch with an allergist and see if there is any way to be tested. This way you’d have documentation that you are indeed entitled to be prescribed Subutex for medical reasons.
Anyway, I think it’s probably a long shot, to be quite honest. But you sound pretty desperate to get this thing figured out and that’s all i could come up with, as you’ve already done a good job of ruling everything out.
Best of luck. Sorry you’re having a rough time.
