Thanks, Willyee. Now I see.
Yeah, buprenorphine sure has a stigma. Maybe, I'm starting to think, more than actually abusable opioids like Vicodin.
It's too bad. But...

I would never take anybody else's word (even a physician's) for what someone else will or won't prescribe. I've seen too many times that they really don't know what they're talking about.
My ex-pdoc told me no one in our area would prescribe either naltrexone or buprenorphine for me. She was wrong on both counts.
