Maybe finding a doctor (who isn't sadistic) who would prescribe buprenex wouldn't be that hard. There are some people on the board who have had success with it.I don't think it *would* be very easy for me to get in the Washington, D.C. area. (It's a partial opiate.) I've never met any pdoc yet willing to prescribe it, anyway. It is probably easier to get off the internet, and when the pills are available here, rather than injectible form only, then I may look into it again. I actually was given some in the first hospital I was in for detox and it didn't help at all. Some company does sell it to hospitals in sort of jello form. Maybe they didn't give me a large enough dose or maybe I didn't left it desolve slowly enough. I totally freaked out and left that hospital after my doctor (the sado guy) would not prescribe anything else for detox, like a benzo. At the next hospital at least they gave me benzos for the first day every few hours.
