Where in the world is Buprenorphine?

[The]

I need to find a clinic / doctor in Washington, DC that prescribes Buprenorphine.

Any ideas of where to look?

My recovering heroin addict / methadone "clinically annoyed" boyfriend wants to get regulated on it.  I've looked up a bunch of info and most of what I hear is positive.

Any comments are appreciated.   THANKS!   cat

Totally,correct-You would have to be doing speed 24/7 to believe the DEA would bother READING the STUFF on this forum.
Out of respect leave your doctor/s names out as web bots can crawl far and wide and sooner or later a google search will turn up their name.
Take care,what is safe today,may be poison tomorrow.

do you guys really think the DEA gives a **** about a bunch of ex and or practicing dope fiends? All they would have to do is monitor the methadone clinics, NA meetings and review the triple scripts they get copies of and they would KNOW where to go! Don't get paranoid folks - life is ******* tweaky enough without that ****.

Rainy day so here I am so soon... sigh !!

Re: IQ's... we all know the fruits of our gifts are not measured by this numerical measure of our capacity to learn... but it never measures our ability to achieve.... it can't measure if we are depressed and can't break through, or if we are going to choose a path that does not permit us to put it out there.. such as all the genius people that are restricted by the corporate bureaucracies they get shoved into after formal schooling.

One of the biggest problems with prodigious children such as you probably were ... and it happened to my son who is 25 and suffered from this and I was guilty of ignorance and wanted to bask in his light and allowed him to be pushed... is that the brightest kids are still kids develomentally ..... they may be able to do higher level comprehension and mathmatecal work than their peers.. so they get moved into situations where they cannot keep the social and personal development in balance with the academic development... it's a defecit in how our educational systems are so far behind in the stone age to address this situation. I think it must be why there are all these brainless and degreed people who are basically stupid robots and act like assholes who are running the world. They can hit a ball real well, memorize and follow instructions and like to fit in.... aaaarrrrrrgh....!!!

I love you both !!
JB... go get some R&R.
Thomas... you are so right... same with cancer.. we are in the stone age.. you just have to do what you can considering the options. Be well and be with God.

Love, Brighty

yes, Brighty and JB, do what you need to do for yourselves.  you two along with Annie, Spook and Tom since I've been coming to this forum have been my voices of reasoning and sanity, How selfish though can I be not to see that you guys hurt and get stressed or burnt just like the rest of us...sometimes we are so focused on ourselves and our problems that we fail to put the needs of others before us, Please, take care of yourselves and like tom said, don't stray too far, you guys are invaluable and unique to this forum,   Love cindi

Thanks for again setting me straight.  I've been pretty screwed up lately and I think that the stess is getting to me again. I can see that my own posts have been getting pretty sloppy and weird.  I did run some things by Marty this morning and she has noticed a big change in me as well.  She thought it was stress related.  Anyway, I'm going to go away for a while and try to get some help.  Thanks for the pep talk, Brighty!  Oh, a high IQ is nothing to brag about.  I've had problems all my life that started when I was skipped from second to fourth grade and graduated from highschool at sixteen. I've always regretted that.  J.B.

take a vacation if you must from the forum, but don't stay gone too long. Your's is a unique voice for reasons too numerous to mention. Whenever I need a calm, informed and well-reasoned response to my post or that of another's, I look for yours. Don't stray too far, Brighty. We'll miss the hell out of you!
