For Opioid Use Disorder "After using heroin for 15+ years. The problem I had with Suboxone was that it made me so sick. My doc switched me to Tex, and this went away. When I moved to the south, no one would write them. The doc said to hold it under my tongue until dissolved, then spit out the saliva. The problem is, subs taste like crap and take 20 min to completely dissolve. A new doc told me about Zubsolv, saying it dissolves much quicker. I decided to try it, and I’m happy I did! It dissolves in 5-10 min and tastes like mint. Cravings are near nonexistent, and I don’t have side effects aside from some nausea if I swallow some. I think most of the negative reviews are psychosomatic. People don’t like change, and this medicine is newer and less known. It’s not a cheap generic! It’s actually more expensive than Suboxone. The dosing also upsets people. The 5.7 is the equivalent of an 8 mg sub, and people just don’t believe that. Whatever, I’m a fan... and heroin free."

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 "Ok, so here's my experience with Zubsolv. First, I was on Suboxone, and I didn't care for it. It tasted awful and didn't do much for me. Then I got switched to Zubsolv due to insurance, and I have to say, besides a little nausea here and there and the bad aftertaste of them, it's great. I've been off pain meds for over a year now, and I feel so much better. No more going through WDs for weeks 'cause I ran out of my meds early. I know there are people out there that say you can't say you are in recovery if you take Zubsolv, and I don't agree with that at all. I feel like I am in recovery, and I'm proud of myself for the first time in my life. Thank you, Zubsolv, for giving me my life back! I couldn't be happier being on Zubsolv because it works for me! I say give it a chance, it might just save your life like it has mine. I also have zero cravings, and that makes me very happy."

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 "The taste is disgusting. I was on Suboxone for years, now have to take this via my insurance. I now have chronic stomach pain and nausea, and like others have said, it barely stays in your system. I feel sick every morning until I take it."

For Opioid Use Disorder "I hate this medicine so much. I was a heroin addict for two and a half years, and I stopped by taking Suboxone. I’ve been taking Suboxone for about seven months, and it worked perfectly fine. But then I lost half my script, and when I went to the doctor to figure out what to do, he said he would prescribe me Zubsolv for the remaining amount of time because he said the pharmacy wouldn’t prescribe me Suboxone again. Zubsolv has been making me feel like I’m wired, but not in a good way, giving me horrible headaches, nausea, and making my BP go up so high, and I don’t know why it’s doing this. I still have a week to go taking it, and this is literally pure torture."

For Opioid Use Disorder "I started Zubsolv about 6 weeks ago. I’ve been having nausea and vertigo ever since. I have had the stomach bug during this time, which made me think it wasn’t the medication. I only take 4 mg 2X a day. I don’t know what to do, thinking about going even lower. I really hoped this drug would have been better."

For Opioid Use Disorder "I have been taking Zubsolv for a few months now for opioid dependency. Two main side effects I have from taking this medication are that it makes me nauseous and tastes like metal. I absolutely hate taking this medication, it makes it hard for me to want to stay clean. And the Suboxone gives me an allergic reaction. Wish there were an easier way to get clean."
