"I was addicted to pretty much every type of painkiller in the book and was fed up with myself and my situation. I tried many times to stop but kept on going back so I could function and handle my severe pain and depression due to the withdrawals. Even when they stopped I kept going back. Subutex helps you stay sober until you are in a better place when you can be off them completely. SUBOXONE/SUBUTEX SAVED MY LIFE with the help of my NA meetings and my loving family."

For Chronic Pain "I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 12 years back. The pain was extreme the first year, I was diagnosed. I was prescribed an overload of Opioids and Xanax, along with the other basic treatment program. It only gave me minor relief, my life was over. The pain became so extreme, I had several shingles outbreak and then the shingles went into my nervous system (Postherpetic neuralgia). I did some research about Subutex trials for fibro pain. I did have to beg an addiction doctor to take me on for pain management. They agreed but I had to leave the xanax and opiods behind to receive treatment. It was difficult to make the sudden change, my anxiety took some time to manage but the pain relief was astounding. Finding a Doctors who will use Subutex for pain management is not easy but for me it is worth the extra effort."

For Chronic Pain "I am 44 and lived with chronic pain most my life. I have a list of issues that caused my pain including fracturing my back. I was on every pain medication you can think of down to injectable hydromorphone. Every injury I got I had to increase doses for the pain meds to work… I was so tired of being on the rollercoaster of ride. I felt like the pain was taking me down…it got super costly because insurance wouldn’t cover any of the meds anymore. I finally decided I am DONE!! I went into detox treatment to say good by once and for all to all the pain meds. I was given subutex in treatment to detox me off all the other crap. It was still a rough detox because if you take too soon after stopping the other meds you go through precipitated withdrawals. Lucky me… anyways subutex saved my life. I am now on 2 x 8mg in morning and half at evening. Subutex manages my pain way better than even hydromorphone. It lasts much longer than any other med too. I really have my life back now."

For Opioid Use Disorder "Although Subutex saved my life and stopped my dependency to over the counter codeine products over eight years ago (I have never used any street opiates), it has provided a barrier to me receiving any pain relief for my back condition. The chronic pain I have experienced has caused me to go from quite a stable, happy person, to a withdrawn, lonely person within a year. I cannot face people in this amount of pain, I cannot look after my place either. I cannot clean, I cannot stand for long periods, and I certainly cannot bend my body in any way because of pain. This is actually a diagnosed back condition I have, caused by a disc bulge in my lower back. Looks like I am now sentenced to a lifetime of disability through untreated, unmanaged pain. I also have a MASSIVE phobia of any medical settings and medical procedures that would usually require pain relief during or after now too. No help with ANY of it has ever been offered due to this med. Currently on 2.8mg from 8 in 8 years."

"I'm a mom of an 8 month old. I took Subutex during my whole pregnancy and was told it was okay to breatfeed. My son was born perfectly normal, is the cutest baby alive and is hitting milestones right on schedule. Subutex saved my life and so did my son."

For Opioid Use Disorder "I was addicted to opiates, fentanyl patches (which I would cut up and chew on) percocet, lortab, oxycontin, morphine, dilaudid, etc. For over 15 years. I'm probably one of those that contributed to all doctors now days thinking everyone is just drug seeking and I'm very sorry for that. But finally when I got married and pregnant again, after having 5 miscarriages and one ectopic pregnancy, the 7th pregnancy actually stuck. I knew I needed to get my sh** together. So I quit the pain pills and went to a subutex clinic. I've been on subutex 8mg 2 and a half pills a day for the past 4 years and it has changed and saved my life. I haven't taken a pain pill since the day I went to the subutex doctor. BUT now the price for my script jumped from $25 to $150 overnight, which I can't afford. I have no idea what to do now. They want you to pay more to stay clean than you would to get high honestly. Makes no sense. Subutex has saved my life though so far."

For Chronic Pain "It has not reduced my pain. I suffer from RA and multiple skeletal issues. 4 Knee replacements, fused lumbar, 1 hip replacement, 1 severe arthritis, left arm was crushed w/multiple surgeries to repair. The only change has been that pain meds seem to work better, but only for a bit. The biggest problem is that the doctor pushes Subutex to the point of poorly managing the pain. With multiple issues this drug is not right for me. The only thing that works for me low dose er and the ability to have a low dose break through med."

For Opioid Use Disorder "Subutex saved my life. Over the years I was on different treatments and also just cold turkey. Eventually I would return back to the same drug behavior. Until I found out about Subutex. I've been taking it about 8 years and no relapse. Thanks to Subutex."

For Opioid Use Disorder "I have been on subutex for 15 years and I only tried to use once but it never worked this drug saved my life I started on 16mg and very slowly reduced my self down to 0.2 mg I stopped taking that 72 hours ago and so far no withdrawals except few false yawns sneezing and streaming eyes but no stomach cramps and no restless legs I had no control over my heroin use but they day I started subutex all my cravings went - using once in 15 years is a miracle. I highly recommend subutex I was IV user and methadone addict. And now I'm totally drug free. You have to want to get clean for this drug to work but if you believe in its ability this drug will save your life. Thank you doctors, thanks subutex my wonder drug."

"Subutex others like it, such as Suboxone, are in my opinion, a miracle to the world of medicine. They are a safe and effective alternative to drugs such as Methadone when used correctly, and not abused."

For Opioid Use Disorder "15 years on subutex in the UK, now have a job, family, house, big motorcycle. I have been stable for many years and have noticed that different batches of subutex can be slightly different but this last batch, b.n 023103 is the worst. I feel so bad I even feel like quitting my job as it has been a huge struggle for 2 months. My symptoms are like withdrawals I can function but its very hard, I haven't used in many years. Trying to get help is almost impossible so had to contact indivior myself which was not easy. Now I'm hopefully getting a different batch sent to my pharmacy but will they be better and how long will the batch last I don't know. Have tried generic sandoz but in the past they were inferior to subutex. Don't be fooled into thinking all buprenorphine is made the same. Hope this helps someone to not be in my shoes as It seems there is no real forums in the uk or support of this kind."

For Opioid Use Disorder "Well I agree with plenty of comments regarding how helpful it can be. Just feel it's ruining my insides, teeth and bones after being on it so long/9-10 years, but then again as others have said may stay on it for life because not getting any younger etc & is it worth risking relapse?! I don't even smoke weed or cigarettes anymore. Have used on top about a handful of times which isn't too bad in nigh on a decade because luckily had helpful Keyworker's. What the Pandemic rarely see Counselors let alone GP's so it'd take forever to get back on it. Was on 20mg now 12 + a weekly script as can't tolerate that daily Supervised Dose malarkey. Really makes feel DOWN/inadequate etc. Did try the Monthly injection recently to get off Buph' however had 0 energy + the lethargy is overwhelming. Slowly does it when coming off this with plenty of Relaxation."

For Chronic Pain "I had difficulty controlling my dosages on fast acting opiates for pain which led to taking far too much. I transitioned to subutex and it’s been effective for the pain without the compulsion to take more."

For Opioid Use Disorder "I have been on and off the suboxone and now on the subutex for the last 12 months and I've found it so much better in so many ways. It's been super helpful but also super annoying and holding me back in a lot of ways, like not being able to go away for more than 5 days at a time having to go into pharmacy weekly etc etc and also trying to over come the pains and hang outs to get off of it all together so I'm changing to the injection at end of this month and hoping it works and helps me become clean off subutex"
