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 "I began taking Zubsolv back in March for my opiate addiction. The very first day, I threw up all day long and couldn't leave the bed. It was my fault, though. Make sure you let the pill completely dissolve before swallowing, or you're going for a ride on the tilt-a-hurl. Once I began taking it correctly, the urges were gone. I've put on 30 lbs since then, and I feel great. I am choosing to lower my dosage next month to begin the weaning process. I never thought I would be able to turn away from my drug of choice, but it has been so much easier with this medicine. I didn't have insurance, but I qualified for the Zubsolv patient assistance program, so if that's what's stopping you from getting help, there's your answer. Have your doctor give you an application for them."

For Opioid Use Disorder "I was addicted to heroin in high doses for almost a year and was unsuccessfully trying to get clean the whole time, getting all the way through cold turkey detox and relapsing once I felt better and the cravings took hold. I'd taken Suboxone in the past but only because it got me REALLY high and not as a maintenance med. After a week clean with immense cravings, I started on Zubsolv maintenance and have had almost zero cravings since. I much prefer the taste and dissolve time to Subs, however, I do find that if I sleep in too long and don't take my morning dose on time, I wake up very sick and start vomiting (extremely painful vomiting at that) until my dose kicks in after 30-60 minutes. I still highly recommend it, I have my life back!!"

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 "I'll be 100% real. Zubsolv is terrible. They claim that Zubs and subs are the same strength, however, that is not true. When coming off/withdrawing, SWIM can usually take a half to 3/4 of an 8mg strip of subs (possibly a full strip if SWIM's relapse is bad enough) and then they will feel fine. However, they recently tried ZUBSOLV with the directions of only needing to take one every so many hours. After waiting the correct amount of time, SWIM took the Zubsolv as instructed and soon after, the withdrawals came. After waiting an hour and a half, the withdrawals had emerged with full-on sweats, vomiting, etc., so they took a second one, and after about another hour, the vomiting had stopped, yet cold sweats and shaking were still present. It wasn't until after a third Zub was taken that my friend was even able to take a deep breath and finally sit up straight and not have to be in the restroom. And yet, still had sleepless nights. Finally went back to subs and after a half of one, had no complaints. So if you're thinking about switching, don't. The taste may be better, but wow, who cares what it tastes like? It's about being able to function without withdrawals and without cravings. So all in all, don't waste your time, your health, your money, and your sanity on ZUBSOLV."
