My Doctor Wont Call Me In Any Of My Suboxone Until They Can See Me Again. (Top voted first)

Updated

Hi i live in the state of Texas and i have been on Suboxene for 18 months. My doctor is 90 minutes away so they really work with me and i only actually have to go see him every 4 months. Well, i get 60 of the 8 mg strips a month and im prescribed 2 a day, but i have been tapering down because i cannot afford the 275.00 doctor fee every month. I just made a month script last me 2 months. I've never failed a drug panel, always paid them on time. Well, I ran out of my suboxene 4 days ago and its not even my fault because my doctor office is so busy they cant see me until monday. So i nicely asked the doctor assistant to call me in a few until they can see me because im starting to feel really bad and she has done it for me before, but now that there's a female Doctor instead of a male she seems to not "be allowed" because of laws and is denying ever calling me any in before but she really has done it before a few times. So my question is, is there any law or anything where she has to call me a few in so i don't end up deadly ill because it says "do not just stop taking suboxene" especially considering its not my fault they are so busy and cannot get me in until Monday. PLEASE HELP

Hello, Angie! How are you? I am sorry about the problem that you're having.

They are correct, refills and prescriptions for this medication cannot be phoned in and no, there is no law requiring them to prescribe you anything. A doctor does not have to treat you, at all, unless you are in immediate life-threatening danger.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
