Rule62 – that would be ideal. Unfortunately doctors are quite tied down by legislation in these countries. Suboxone is treated in a very similar way to Methadone. People need to either go to a clinic, or go to a pharmacy, to get their dose. And this dose is usually taken in front of the pharmacist.

After you’ve stabilised, in Aus, you can get 5 x take-aways per week. So I can go in Monday -> Tues, and get 5 take aways for the rest of the week. This is only given to people who are stabilised and being good – ie not slipping up. So I can go away interstate for a long-weekend, but overseas is pretty much counted out.

It has the positive side of there being a lot less diversion of Suboxone happening in here than the US (apparently).

Still, interested in hearing from anyone else, and Babydoll’s update.
