For Opioid Use Disorder "I was prescribed Tylenol 3 for a whole year after a back injury at work and under the care of a pain management specialist. I had a concern for how they were going to get me off of this drug once the spinal injections started to kick in while taking it. Their response - Tylenol 3 is not as addictive as other narcotics! Rubbish! Here I am, 3 years later. I didn’t want to take Tylenol 3 forever, I was having to take 10-12 pills a day just to feel normal. I then sought help and started Suboxone. I’ve been taking 2 of the 8 mg/2 mg for the past year and have felt somewhat normal again. My insurance decided that they wouldn’t cover it anymore and said Zubsolv would be the equivalent! RUBBISH AGAIN! I started taking the 5.7 tab twice a day, and within a day, I was in full withdrawal! Sweats, nausea, crying spells, anxiety! I felt HORRIBLE! I DO NOT RECOMMEND this rubbish to ANYONE! I’d rather pay out-of-pocket and fight the insurance than to feel like I did a few days ago!"

For Opioid Use Disorder "I can say this medication has saved my life. Over and over again, every single day. I started off on Suboxone for over a year and my doctor switched me. And like any other addict, I was freaking out about it not working the same. I had so much anxiety about feeling any sort of withdrawal or not feeling good. But soon after starting it, my worries all disappeared. It worked wonderfully. I've now been clean for over 2 years since starting my treatment. I absolutely love Zubsolv, it really has saved my kid's mommy ❤."

For Opioid Use Disorder "1st day on Zubsolv. I have no history with Suboxone, and I can't compare the two. For the last year, I was averaging 20 days of the month on 150 mg of MD per day and 200 mg of Hydro or Oxy for the other 10 days of the month. My source of MD went to the clinic every two weeks, so I always would be out of MD with 4 or 5 days remaining before this person went back to the clinic. Sad but true, and I accept that I am an idiot. Anyways, 24 days ago I just jumped CT. It was as bad as all you have read about MD. I was desperate and called a clinic and got on Zubsolv. Within 30 minutes, all the anxiety, pain all over, lack of motivation, etc. was fading. 1 hour later, I am like a different person. Based on 1 day, I am a fan."

For Opioid Use Disorder "I was prescribed Zuboxone, but my insurance covered Zubsolv instead. From the first time, I felt tremors and told my Dr. He prescribed increasing the dosage, and it got worse. It felt like I was trembling from my core along with anxiety. I just was switched to buprenorphine alone and can't believe how much improved I am. I wouldn't recommend Zubsolv."

For Opioid Use Disorder "I've been taking Suboxone for many years now. I continue it for maintaining my pain relief. What I would like to say is... Generic Suboxone is not the same. I've been having withdrawal symptoms, and my anxiety has soared through the roof. Here is a copy of what the generic Zubsolv had to say: 'There are some preferential differences between Suboxone and Zubsolv, such as taste and dosage forms. Zubsolv also has improved bioavailability, which allows the user to absorb the buprenorphine and put it to use more easily. As a result, there is a lower opioid content in a dose of Zubsolv than in a dose of Suboxone.' So, those who say 'it's the same' rubbish, it's not."

For Opioid Use Disorder "Been on subs for one year and have done great. My insurance will no longer cover them, had to go to zubs. Within 3 hours, I was in full-blown withdrawal, had all the withdrawal symptoms: vomiting, diarrhea, shaking, anxiety, and suicidal ideation - it was a nightmare. Luckily, I have a great doctor, called in the sub strips, and within 20 minutes, I was back to normal. Please think twice before you take Zubsolv."

For Opioid Use Disorder "Ok, my wife has been on this Zubsolv for over a week now. At first, it seemed to help her. Yesterday, she woke up with a rash on her lower arms. She has gotten really depressed, her anxiety has gone through the roof, she snaps back at the slightest things. It is not helping with her cravings, it seems the longer she takes it, the further my wife becomes a different person from when she was doing pain pills. I'm starting to think it was better she stayed on the pain pills. Has anyone else heard of anything like this before? I'm at a loss for words, and I don't know what I need to do or what to do at this point other than start cutting her dosages down and wean her off this garbage......"

"I switched from 2 mg films (tried cutting 8 mg into 1/4s). I'm highly allergic to aspartame, and it took us months to figure out why I was having ulcers/swelling. Now I take Zubsolv 1.4 twice a day for pain. The only bad thing about this drug is that I get 'wired.' But if I take it at the same time each day, not only is my pain rated about a 2, I also avoid the headache and wired feeling. I do wish I could cut it in 1/4ths sometimes because I think I could take even less than I take and be fine. Oh, well. It's still an awesome alternative to pills!"
