Makes a lot of sense. I’ve never heard this explained so simply. Thanks.

[Lit-soles]

I was on 16 mg a day now I’m down to 4 mg a day. I can’t wait to get off of this stuff. Thank you so much for making this video and the sub slicer is a lifesaver. one day at a time EVERYONE ❤️🙏

My dr is against me using the shot to get off and says there should be no difrence between the shot and tapering with strips. Im down to 4 now..

How long to wait to take Suboxone from taking 20mg of Methadone tablets for chronic pain

[alyssalewis]

I'm down to 1.75 from 8mg. I actually decided that I would go down .25 every two weeks and then stop at .175. So I'm glad that the plan that I have in place is exactly what you'd recommend. My Dr didn't have any recommendations for withdrawal meds unfortunately, so I'll have to look into some of the ones that you listed.

[andrelebrun]

What do you mean by strips in point no. 2?

[ApexMedicalWellness]

I'm wondering about the consistency of the medication's distribution throughout the strip, particularly the generic strips. Do you find any issues with regard to this?

For my patients who are on tablets, I suggest using a gram scale to consistently determine the amount they are taking and to decrease just as consistently.

Hi Dr. Starr. Was preparing to use Sublacade to end my use of Suboxone. Our medical insurance is TriCare for life and Medicare part B. Neither offer coverage for Sublacade. Apparently, Medicare part B, in addition to a supplemental commercial policy will cover Sublacade. Any ideas on which insurance companies will offer the best policy for this coverage? My provider has turned in a request to the pharmacy they use for starting Sublacade. They said I will have to be denied first by TFL, then Medicare. From what I have read, a supplemental commercial policy in conjunction with Medicare is the only choice I have to avoid paying full price for Sublacade. I do not qualify for any copay assistance either.

Hi Dr. Starr! I'm literally allergic to Bupinorphin & I definitely want to quit & I don't know what to do other than Methadone? which is what several doctors had suggested to me but the downfall to that is I don't want to wait in a 3-4 hour line every morning at 7am cuz I have work at 8:30am. Please can you please give any suggestions?

[danielbowman]

Please reply to this question: If I take 6mg daily, generic subutex, what would be the best route to go with Sublocade? How many shots of what dose shot? Thank you in advance.

Edit: I've been on it since January 2024.

[calpoker]

hi doc loving your videos very informative and you seem to really care. so many docs seem happy to get ppl on subs for life with no interest in tapering them off.
one question i can't seem to get a good answer to is if you'll get precipitated withdrawals from subutex (without naloxone) if you switch over from opiates to it without waiting 12hrs+? say you take a dose of oxy before you go to sleep you wake up ~8hrs later feeling shitty but instead of an opiate you take a subutex? and if thats possible whats the best initial dose of the sub? tyvm

How much do you charge for sublocade 100mg shot?

[vileproductions]

Dr. Star, I am currently in the northern california area, on 4 mg of suboxone tabs . I would i really like to work with you on getting on the sublocade to taper off this medication .. Are you guys currently accepting new patients?.. background - been on subs over 7 years, tried tapering numerous times but always hit a wall around 2 mg .

[ryanknuth]

Been on subs for about 8 years…Im soooo tired of the brain fog and lethargy….hard to describe but it feels like my brain is spinning a million miles an hour

[kennethamend]

Im at a loss for word's...I was taking 1mg of buprenorphine every day for about 3 weeks. Blood pressure was fine and all was well. Though i had no idea how precise i needed to be during the final quarter of my taper??I have always been 100% honest with my care provider. Though when i completely stopped dosing the 1mg...here came the tremors, insomnia. I asked for 2 weeks of Ativan or Klonopin to help? The answer was NO. Though ill call you in more Suboxone. Just to hear you state that there are meds that can be used as needed to help with the taper brought a sense of peace inside. It took roughly 3 weeks of these lingering side effects to finally dissipate. I understand biologically were all on our own clock when it comes time to taper if ever. For many tapering improperly without the proper support can lead to relapse. Thank You 😊

Lucky that people in those parts of the country are tougher and accustomed to being left out of everything.
