> Don't docs need a special FDA number (starting with X) to prescribe buprenophine. That was the case a few years ago, but maybe things have changed.

As weird as it first sounds, this requirement does not apply when a doctor prescribes buprenorphine for treatments of conditions other than addiction. I guess the FDA feels that it takes a special training and an additional assumption of responsibility when one prescribes an opioid to an opioid addict.
