hello nohope, Im in vic. Even a gp can prescribe temgesic for 6 weeks for any reason he sees fit. After 6 weeks he has to get a permit from the health department as with any schedule 8 drug. My pdoc printed out some of the journal refs & sent them to the person he dealt with in the department for the permit. It was granted without problems. So, your pdoc or gp can do the same. If he is worried get him to ring the dept & they will tell him the procedure. Subutex is the the brand of buprenorphine given to addicts. It starts at 2mg whereas Temgesic is only in 0.2mg. There is no way to get Subutex prescribed unless it is for opiate addiction & the doc must have a special licence.
hope this helps
