The headache that I would be treating is not affected positively by using any OTC meds. It is a severe headache that puts me in bed that I suffer about 2X annually and is likely related to brain inflammation-a result of chronic Lyme. Buprenorphine is likely a better alternative but getting a prescription for it has not yet been possible. How would you go about getting a prescription? A pain clinic? A DO? An MD?

You need to find a pain specialist who prescribes it. Look for Pain Medicine treatment and/or a rehab physician who prescribes it. A special license or certificate is necessary to prescribe it for pain. Look for an MD or DO I feel might be best bet unless you find an NP who practices with a group. It is possible and has gotten easier to find but worth it.
