[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 677731, member: 1233"] I am truly shocked at the treatment your son has gotten. No psychiatrist should rx suboxone unless he is a certified pain mgmt or addiction specialist. It is WAY too powerful for a regular psychiatrist to rx responsibly. One reason for this is that during detox, esp cold turkey detox, heart rate can do some seriously dangerous things and medications to manage this are very important. My pain mgmt doctor prefers the catapres patch because you don't throw it up. To manage nausea/vomiting, they should be giving phenergan (promethazine) or another similar medication. Often a rub on version or a sublingual version is given because of the nausea and diarrhea. Now some docs don''t want to rx phenergan because people are mixing it with other medications to get high. You can use benadryl for this as it is incredibly close to phenergan (both are antihistamines and are chemically very similar). The psychiatrist not seeing him because he went to the ER is bogus. This doctor is WAY fishy and I hope your son can find better treatment. [/QUOTE]
