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 "I have been taking Suboxone for about 3 years now, and it always worked great for me. Well, since my insurance will not cover it any longer, my doc wrote me out this new script of Bunavail. I have to say this is the worst meds I have ever tried. I still feel tired throughout the day, which makes my mind start to wander into the wrong places. A huge con for me is how long it takes to dissolve, I held it in for 1 1/2 hours before I finally said screw it and dug it out. This is a pathetic excuse for a replacement. I will not be trying this again, come next week, I will be paying for my subs, I don't care how much they cost. All this medication is going to do is get people using again."

For Opioid Use Disorder "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."
