For Opioid Use Disorder "This medication is a joke! Stay on subs before you try this. Omg, it's horrible. I can't believe the scam these pharmaceutical companies are pushing out with this horrible medication. Feels like I'm withdrawing all over again!"

For Opioid Use Disorder "I started on 2 mg of Suboxone, I worked my way up to roughly 5 mg. I could no longer take the migraines and constipation. When I switched to Bunavail, I went from 5-6 mg of Subs to 2 doses of 2.1 Bunavail daily. CONS: 2.1 mg Bunavail is not even close to 4 mg of Subs, which is what the manufacturer claims. Initially, I had WD symptoms when transitioning to Bunavail, 2.1, twice daily. Yes, the film can 'scroll' in your mouth and takes time to dissolve. I wait 45 min before spitting out 'goo.' PROS: Fewer migraines. I have regular bowel movements. My body is still trying to 'level out' with this new dosing, and I'm struggling a bit with lethargy, motivation, and sleep, but I'm committed to giving it time. In about three months, I have a plan to start tapering. IF you're someone who is in survival mode because of side effects of the Suboxone, TRY Bunavail, but KNOW the dosing is NOT what the manufacturer indicates. It's closer to 2.1 = 2 mg of Subs. God bless anyone struggling with addiction."

For Opioid Use Disorder "This medicine initially killed the withdrawal, but after five days, I realized I was still having cravings really badly. Also, it felt like I was dragging a thirty-pound weight around with me, coupled with severe depression. Most pharmacies do not carry this medication, and most pharmacists I spoke with had not even heard of this drug. All in all, I had to hunt this med down and special order it, only to find out it sucks. And yes, I was taking it correctly, the printed side facing out towards my inner cheek lining. I am going back to the doc to ask for the one and only Suboxone."

For Opioid Use Disorder "Horrible, was on 8 mg Suboxone a day for a week, and my doctor just switched randomly. After I told him I did not want Bunavail, he gave me 3 weeks' worth, and it sucks. The depression I get in the middle of the day, I still feel shitty and still want to use! I actually went and relapsed after taking 2 4.2 mg tabs and almost felt the full feeling from the relapse. I was falling out a little bit and everything! That never would have worked if I was even on 8 mg of Suboxone. Can't wait to get back to the doctor and make him switch me back. The depression I get from even the slightest withdrawal off Bunavail is awful. Tell your doctor you don't want Bunavail! I believe the true reason they made this stuff is because people cannot inject it like they can Suboxone."

For Opioid Use Disorder "Awful! This med is so bad. Doesn't stick to cheek or absorb the BUP. It had me doubting myself. And... ahhhhhhh... Why are they pushing this BS? Worst 2 weeks I have had in treatment. Sick, withdrawing, but go back to Dr. Tuesday to change back to Suboxone, almost relapsed. Hating the insurance now for only covering this stuff?"
