"I have been taking 8 mg Suboxone for 2 years and switched to Bunavail because my insurance would cover it. I am switching back after taking it for 2 weeks because 4.2 mg of Bunavail does not equal 8 mg of Suboxone regardless of what the manufacturer claims. I started feeling bad around day 4 of taking it and have not felt better. I would not recommend switching to this brand."

"This medication is awful. It rolls up every time you put it in your cheek. It literally takes hours to dissolve. One 4.2 mg Bunavail doesn't even come close to the equivalent of one 8 mg Suboxone. It's a shame that these shady pharmaceutical companies can use money to push inferior medicine through the FDA and get it to addicts who can't even figure out how to take the stuff, let alone use it as a replacement therapy to stay clean."

"Horrible drug, besides the fact of it taking so long to dissolve with the leftover gunk in your mouth. I've been on Suboxone for 3 years and tried this out because I needed a week for my preauthorization to go through. I've been throwing up after I woke up the second day without my subs. I'm still going through withdrawals all day: hot and cold, no energy, the usual misery. DO NOT TRY THIS DRUG IF YOU HAVE BEEN ON SUBOXONE FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME. Nothing about being able to talk (due to the slimy-like 10x subs at once in your mouth, but a different texture. Any of the reasons they give for it being a lower dose doesn't even work because it barely sticks to your cheek, so it basically doesn't even have a blocker in it, so you're constantly craving."

"This medicine is great, switched from 8 mg Suboxone to this, and I love it. It's easy to use, and no awfully orange taste. Plus, you absorb 33 percent less naloxone, which is always a good thing."

"Love this medicine. Works great with less side effects of regular Suboxone! Also, with the discount program, I am saving $$$. Very happy my Dr. told me about it."

"I absolutely love this drug! I hated taking my subs, and this is hands down 100% easier to take. It does take some getting used to that gummy feeling on my cheek, but I don't even notice it now."

"Bunavail does not dissolve ever! It is not nearly strong enough. You cannot eat, talk, and do those things they say. After 2 hrs., I spit what's left."
