For Opioid Use Disorder "I was very skeptical about this medicine! I knew I couldn't go to work and be 'sick.' I abused opiates for at least 10 years. Once I had Zubsolv, I immediately felt a sense of well-being that I hadn't felt since before any drug use. I never dreamt I'd have my life back! I just knew I would die a drug addict! I wish I'd have gotten help sooner! Never had a craving, not one! No sickness, some constipation, but nothing I can't deal with. No side effect is as awful as being dope sick, if you ask me! You ARE WORTH SAVING! Make an appointment now!"

For Opioid Use Disorder "I have been taking one 5.7 Zubsolv for opiate addiction. I took Suboxone years ago without side effects (some constipation). The Zubsolv makes me feel nauseous, which I never experienced with Suboxone. I started taking Zubsolv in February this year. Since then (it is now X-mas Eve), I have lost 55 lbs, and I am not dieting. Can't eat, I have no appetite and constant nausea, to the point of dry heaves. I was having both constipation and diarrhea but without much output. I feel like I have the flu or a stomach virus for the past 10 months. Now I don't know if it is the Zubsolv or something else. I am having a stomach endoscopy next month. No narcs... putting me to sleep. Am I wasting my time and money, or has anyone else experienced huge weight loss, constant nausea, some vomiting, and diarrhea, and feeling overall malaise?"

For Opioid Use Disorder "About 3 months ago, I switched from Suboxone 8 mg x2 a day to Zubsolv 5.7 x2 a day. At first, I was worried that the lower mg per dose wouldn't work as well, but I have to say it works great! The taste of Suboxone always tastes like crap, but I knew soon after taking it I'd be well, so after a while, I didn't think about it. Zubsolv, on the other hand, has a pleasant mint taste, kinda like toothpaste. The major issue I had with Suboxone is constipation! I always had to take laxatives. On Zubsolv, I can honestly say I haven't been constipated at all. Zero constipation, which has been one factor in feeling well overall. If I had to choose an overall favorite drug, after looking at all the pros and cons, Zubsolv is at the top of the list."

For Opioid Use Disorder "I have been on Zubs for about a year. I was on subs the year before that while living in Buffalo. When I moved to Rochester, I got switched to Zubs because the subs were not showing good numbers in my system, meaning it wasn't dissolving correctly and doing what it's supposed to. My insurance didn't cover Zubs, so my new doctor told them subs weren't working blah blah blah, and I ended up getting covered for them. I am constipated every day, and it's very hard to poo, so I have to drink Miralax every other day, which I ALWAYS FORGET TO DO. So that's my own fault. Overall, everything is fine, no drugs for 2 years now besides my Zubs. I make about $15 to $25 an hour depending on what position I'm working at my job. And I'm a trainer. Zubs saved my life. They work if you don't abuse them."

For Opioid Use Disorder "Pros: Excellent step down from long-acting opioids. If you have been using and you switch to this, you will not experience any unpleasant withdrawal symptoms, but it is the lesser of two evils. Do not fool yourself. This is still a narcotic, and it is powerful. Cons: Difficulty urinating, constipation, and sweating. I have recently begun tapering down and have experienced some negative side effects. It takes time for your body to adjust to the step down, and you will feel at times like you will faint. In short, it is excellent for getting off stronger opioids, but it is still addictive. If you try to come off junk cold turkey, it will be a horrible experience. Zubsolv is supposedly a state-of-the-art medication. It is very expensive, which if not covered by insurance, will cost a lot of money. It has served its purpose as I have been able to work two jobs, six days a week."

For Opioid Use Disorder "I've been on subs off and on for years. My insurance recently made me switch to Zubsolv, and it SUCKS!! I feel like I'm in withdrawal most of the day. It has some good effects, it dissolves quicker and I'm not as constipated, but as far as being better than subs, no way. I feel like I'm constantly craving one all day almost, and if you don't take it at the same time every day, you're sick as hell until you do...."

For Opioid Use Disorder "I was taking Suboxone for about 6 months, dealing with the horrid taste and precipitated withdrawal. I truly didn't like it, but then I heard of Zubsolv tasting better and dissolving quicker. And it truly works. I'm a heroin addict/fentanyl, but Zubsolv truly saved my life! I highly recommend it. Only minor constipation with it, but manageable."

For Opioid Use Disorder "I hate this stuff. Once over withdrawals, may as well be off it. Still crave narcotics every day, and if I was able to get Vicodin, wouldn't be on this stuff. Now I'm fat, constipated, zero energy, and miserable. About to cry every day. Can't afford therapy, and NA doesn't want anyone on this stuff since it's not considered clean."
