It has been one month since the option of Subutex was taken off the table for my recovering daughter. Nausea, rash, depression and debilitating fatigue. In addition, the pharm compound she is now taking is a financial stress as we have to dip into her college fund to pay the out of pocket expense. My guess is that the impact of this reg has not saved one life or diverted an active addict who will find their high no matter what law is in place, but it has certainly had a negative impact on those recovering addicts who were successful and compliant with Subutex. Her qualified doctor should be making these life altering decisions, not the state of virginia.
