Do not stop taking Suboxone without first talking to your doctor. Your doctor may want to gradually reduce the dose to avoid or minimize withdrawal symptoms

perhaps there's another rx that can help you if you have to go off the suboxone. i know how very frustrating these insurance issues can be. we're here to support you in any way we can.
