For Opioid Use Disorder "Due to my insurance not paying for suboxone strips in January 2023 I was put on Zubsolv 5.7-1.4mg tabs and I will say for me it works just as well. It dissolves quicker and the taste is way better (minty taste) than the suboxone strips which by the way taste horrible. I'm 5 years now clean from opiates before that I was abusing opiates for 20 years. I have no side effects from this unlike when II did with suboxone which was upset stomach and headaches."

For Opioid Use Disorder "I was addicted to buying pain pills from the streets for 8 years, after doctor initially prescribed them for me for 2 years and then cut me off cold turkey. Total of 10 years. October 2019 I was finally able to break free. Thank you Jesus for the strength. It took me 3 weeks to get to see a certified doctor to prescribe me suboxone, which for 3 weeks I was buying off the street also. 1 strip a day of suboxone for 3 weeks and I was doing great. Finally get in to see doctor and tell her my story. She decided to put me on Zubsolv instead even though I told her I was feeling good with one strip a day. Started out at 5.7 MG Zubsolv for a week. Now I’m not feeling as good as I was previous 3 weeks so explain to doctor following week my symptoms. I get bumped up to 8.6 MG a day Zubsolv. Better, but still not masking my symptoms for 24 hours. Now I went back to doctor third time in 3 weeks, got me back down to 5.7 mgs 1 and half times a day. Arghh!!!"

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 subsolve tasting better and dissolving quicker.. and it truly works.. I'm a heroin addict/ fentanyl.. but subsolve truly saved my life! I highly recommend it. Only minor constipation with it.. but manageable."

"I switched from 2mg films (tried cutting 8mg 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! "

For Opioid Use Disorder "I was dependent on prescription pain killers (Vics). Never took enough to get high, just enough to make me feel “normal”. I turned to methadone maintenance because that’s where my dr sent me. They started me off on 30mg! I was so high I couldn’t function or even speak! Needless to say I only need 4mg. I went all day until my next dose without one withdrawal symptom. I just don’t like that high feeling. It got to pricey and I turned to sub tabs off the street which tasted bad but helped me so much. Did those for a few years. Couldn’t always afford them so after years I finally got into a program. My insurance only covered zubs which I was hesitant but so glad I have them (4 months now)! They are so much better than subs. I have no symptoms during the day. During my sleep I wakeup feeling a little sweaty. I also have no energy but it’s way better than being dope sick imo. Sucks in January my insurance will no longer cover zubs and I’ll be forced back to subs."

"I took suboxone for about 5 years. Then my insurance changed and I was switched to zubsolv. I ended up on it in a strange way for pain and PTSD symptoms. During the time I changed brands, I was starting to feel weak, usually emotional, low energy, which is not the type of guy I normally was..I assumed it was the zubsolv. I continued to struggle on it for years. Then I got a new GP when I moved and she looked at my meds and my complaints and ordered a testosterone test. It came back indicating I had the levels of an 80 year old man and I was 30. Getting off Zubsolv was pretty rough. Going through opioid withdrawal is hard enough, but feeling so weak and emotional on top of it. It took me quitting my job, and focusing completely on rebuilding myself mentally and physically for a year. Still, my quality of life during that time was so much better."

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 4mg 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 "Zubsolv is a miracle drug. I have been abusing opioids for at least half of my life I'm 41 now. I was so terrified to start the medicine because of the precipitate withdrawal I was told to wait 24 to 36 hours before starting the zubs because of it. I only was able to make it 10 hours and it was horrible. I took an eighth of an 8.6 and didn't feel anything. Every 2 hours I took another eighth. I have now been on it for 36 hours and I feel amazing. I feel normal and healthy, good mood, good energy and I had an appetite today. Give it a try it is a lifesaver can't wait to get my life back in order!"

For Opioid Use Disorder "I love opiates. Uppers were my first love but it was of the puppy sort. Opiates were my "DOG LOVE," for lack of a better phrase in the English vernacular. Pretty soon, i was spending ~2K+ a month on pills, and I definitely don't make enough for that to be sustainable. I decided to go cold turkey and the nearest ER during withdrawals, but they turned me away (illegal...i think?). My PCP then introduced me to an online service called Ophielia. We tried Suboxone films at first, which gave me horrible constipation and fatigue. Zubsolv proved to be a far superior drug--intermittent constipation, less brain fog, less extreme fatigue, less cravings (no cravings would be a lie), ad infinitim."

For Opioid Use Disorder "So it's great to hear everyone being able to swap so easily but ive been on subs for over 15 years they saved my life. Then insurance changes have forced me to go back to zubsolv again and in less than a week I had dilated pupils couldn't sleep all the typical withdrawal symptoms. I went from 1 and half 8mg strips a day to the supposedly equivalent 5.7 zubs. So my doctor was like listen there whole thing is a marketing ploy to be able to sell the meds cheaper. He swapped me to the 8.2s and I finally felt the same again. So maybe I have a crazy fast metabolism or something but I van tell you ove had to do this twice and both times had to be bumped up to the zub mgs closer to the 8mg strips and that worked for me. Regardless of what the ibternet tells you they do not have any different bioavailability than the strips that's nonsense otherwise I wouldn't get thus sick everytime I've been forced to switch."

For Opioid Use Disorder "I used to take 16 mg Suboxone a day for more than 10 years. Then I was switched to Zubsolv. I have a prescription for three 5.7 mg a day. At the beginning, I had a feeling it did not work as well as Suboxone did. But after a few months, I am happy taking Zubsolv. I use 2 x 5.7 in the morning and one in the afternoon. It works the same. Tastes like mint tablets, are small, and they are dissolving in about the same time as Suboxone. Ten minutes most of the time. But users often need a higher dosage of Zubsolv. One 5.7 is not the same as 8 mg Suboxone."

For Opioid Use Disorder "So I became addicted to opiates because I fractured both of my legs and I had 11 surgeries. And the doctors just freaking loaded me up with narcotics. And because of this and how much I was taking I became an addict. I never thought I'd be addicted to opiates. But lo and behold I am. I was prescribed fentanyl 100 microgram patch, 90 mg oxycodone 30 mg Xanax to milligrams clonazepam 2 mg. And I had enough I couldn't take it anymore I was sick and tired of taking all of those drugs so I went to my doctor and got on Suboxone and it saved my life. Now I know that Suboxone therapy is awful in itself but in my opinion Suboxone and zubs all is the lesser of the awfuls"

For Opioid Use Disorder "I'm switching to zubsolv from suboxone today. I pray it controls my cravings as the Suboxone film didn't, plus I had terrible insomnia. Many people call Zubsolv a miracle drug. I need a miracle I'm at my wits end."

For Opioid Use Disorder "I am transitioning form the suboxon to Zubsolv and haven’t had any of the Joey story side effects. The only problem is as soon as the drug hits i fall asleep after just waking up then sit there for hours nodding like I’m on heroin… it’s great of couse to feel so amazing but might need to dose down. WOW this drug works!"

For Opioid Use Disorder "I started out on 8mg Suboxone 3x per day. After 8 years, I was down to 8mg per day. My insurance switched me to Zubsolv. The equivalent Zubsolv dose is 5.7mg per day, according to their website. This did not cut it, and the dose had to be raised to 5.7mg 2x per day. Suboxone doses lasted about 8 hours. Zubsolv was closer to 4 hours, half of Suboxone strips when used as directed. I figured out how to get a longer duration from Zubsolv by putting the tablet between the bottom of my tongue and the gum far back on the side. This caused Zubsolv to dissolve at a much slower rate, usually 2-3 hours. This greatly increased the performance for me. Eventually, I reduced to 5.7mg divided by 4 or 1.4mg per day. After stable, I stopped taking Zubsolv (could not reduce to less than 4 parts). Withdrawal is difficult with insomnia and raised body temperature. The days are not bad, but the nights can be. This can last several weeks but becomes tolerable with a proper mindset."
