I have united health that is going to start Jan 1st that is weird and I already called and they pay 33% and you need prior Authorization from doctor so make sure that you get. Now if they dont for some reason what I would do is pay for a few and see if you like and go from there I make it work I am on disability but I find a way till my insurance kicks in. I was paying a 100 bucks for morphine a month anyways so the difference is not so bad. You can break the pills in fours so you can take less even half a pill a day would work so that would only be 4 bucks a day.

When I was on pain pills the first thing in the morning I would do is take one when my eyes opened I never missed a dose. Yesterday it was at 2pm when my back was hurting a bit and I thought heck I forgot to take my pill this morning so I only had to take 6 mgs for yesterday so I try to save money when i dont need them.

There are draw backs so not all rainbows I am sorry to say the biggest one is when you have a flare you have to ride it out taking more does not give more relief so no break through meds I do take a muscle relaxer but the suboxone intensifies it a bit so I get sort of loopy and tired when I take a Zanaflex

You can combine with ultram if needed and it will help when I had a kidney stone some major pain I did take the ultram/toradol for some added relief. Now ultram as a only pain med like tic tacs but with suboxone again it intensifies it a bit.

Good luck any question I am here just message me

You can go to the suboxone web site and ask for coupons also and get some relief from the cost. The thing with insurance because we use it off label for pain control they can deny claims on it that sucks stupid insurance I hear there is a new film and cost less I am going to ask my doctor about it i dont know to much but I hear it is ok.

i agree with manny....buy a couple before ins kicks in,be off your meds 24 hrs,then take halve of one...see how you feel...see if its something you will like to take...good luck,,,,,,

thanks for all the info, yes the doc did give me a discount card good for up to $45 on co pay. The way I am calculating this at $8 per pill and one a day less 33% less $45 I am looking at around $135 a month that's gonna be too much for me to handle , this may not be a good idea after all

I figured it out and the insurance said with the 33% it should be 95 dollars a month and if you have a coupon then 50 bucks a month. How much do you pay out of pocket for you meds now ? if you dont mind me asking do they pay for it 100%.

I don't remember how many pills the prescription he gave me is for it should be 30 because we discussed using it as a treatment for pain plus the initial detox. Well there goes my social security increase man just can't get ahead ha ha just spoke to the doctors office they are waiting on the insurance company, guess I better call them and get the lowdown thanks all gonna call them now, oh yea 1 more question I can take valium with the suboxone rite

what state are you in?i have a prescription discount card that takes alot off on scripts not covered ....it may be worth it to try this Mark...i know its alot of money but we are talking about your qaulity of life....just go get one and try it...if they will let you.i know the pharmacy let me buy a couple till the ins kicked in,wich payed for all of mine..

Yes I am pretty sure you can take valium I am almost positive just be careful like with anything else. I think to tell you the truth you are having some anxiety it is a big change and it is scary. But sometimes you need a change and just remember you can always switch if it is not for you it is not set in stone, if you do not try something different once in awhile you will not grow and know how something might be.

I Remember how nervous I was having a ton of things going through my mind. If it will control pain how will I feel mentally with the change I am not good with change at all you might be better but I had a hard time and I think you may be over thinking it because it is a big deal to change something that has been a part of your life for a long time.

Wow Wow just spoke to the insurance company it is still in review hope for an answer today and the co pay is $30

oh yea and that's for 60 8mg film wow

hey mark.....thats good news!!!!!!!!!,,,2 a day is better....and my doc said i shouldnt take my valium with it,the pharmacist said theres a warning to not take benzo's but i did and had no problems....

very cool this is all too good to be true like no withdrawal from the narcotics only one day wow I can't believe it if it reduces my pain by 50% that's good enough for me, and to have a life again wow. This is too good to be true you all are pulling my leg rite lol I gotta calm down nothing good ever happens to me. I have to keep it in perspective no narcotics wow wow

i think that's a great idea, it's such a safe long term drug. how are you having it administered? as or patch?

i tried the patch version "norspan" but it did not help me. However, i'm not on the fentanyl patch and even tho it's a hard core narcotic, i never feel a thing except reduced pain. so keep it in mind if your new meds don't work. i think getting on the fentanyl patch has given my life a lot more stability with no ups and downs and a smoother ride.

one more thing, good luck! you deserve it (I've got a naughty leg too)

yup you can take valium. the drug only "blocks narcotics" so there would be no point taking even over the counter codeine, let alone your other narcotics. freeeeeeeeeeeeeedom!!

hi doll its a film you put under your tongue thanks for the support
