Hb 2163
I am writing today about hb2163 bill. I have been sober since 2013. When I first went to get help for my addiction I was prescribed suboxone. After my first dose I broke out in hives, had severe itching, and a migraine. It was then I learned I was allergic to the naloxone in suboxone. I was then switched to a subutex. It was life changing. I got my life back. Since then I have become a mother, a fiancée, a full time worker, and a good person. When I went to my doctors appointment this month I was switched back to suboxone because of this bill, despite my documented allergy. I'm not even sure how this can be legal. So now I have to suffer fromantic hives, itching and migraines everyday.
