He might think you are selling them and buying opiates...So he might give you urine test.....I have been on Suboxone and dealt with Sub doctors....He will say how could you only be sending e-mail now with 1 left....He could freak out.......Mine was cool as long as i kept paying him...I almost got to the point where i had to pay him a cash fine when i messed up....He might have been a messed up doctor....He would charge me $200 dollars for missed appoinments. He still to this day sends bills for $ 400 dollars.
The good thing is that he did not take ins and only took cash...So i never gave him my real ss #.

I hope this works out for you. Let us know how it goes.

A doctor that answers emails to patients.........while on vacation?  Am I hearing this right?  

I would have to guess that he's going to help you out.  He's already trying, and if you say that what he gave wasn't enough, then he'd want to make you as comfortable as possible, I guess........still can't believe yall have contact through email!

Best Wishes!

Hi Courtney,

Well I never took Suboxone but I had a lot of dental work done and got addicted to Vicodin. The withdrawls sucked but I was able to taper, How I'll never know.

I really think because it seems like he gave you your meds and just left that he would understand if you had to adjust them accordingly. It seems like Suboxone is not an exact science and if he's any good he'll know that.

Hopefully he'll get back to you soon.

I think you did the right thing. Honesty was definitely the best way to go in this situation. Hopefully he will understand and adjust your dosage.
