For Pain "I was injured in 1986 in a serious accident and had several back and neck surgeries afterward. The residual pain was unbearable, and after being out of touch with the world for 5 or 6 years, one of my doctors asked me to try Buprenex when I refused to start on OxyContin. I remain on the same dosage today, and I have my life back. No longer do I stay in a stupor all day. Buprenex controls my pain, yet it does not rob my memory and brain as the other medicines had done. Thank you for Buprenex."

For Pain "I have severe drug allergies, especially opiates. I have been on Buprenorphine for many years now and found it to be an excellent pain reliever. I have found that at times, though, it is hard to find and have had to go to the patch."

For Pain "My cat was given Buprenex oral after surgery. I'm assuming it worked on his pain, but now that he's off of it, he's 'seeing ghosts in the house' and slinking around in fear. Hallucinations are one of the side effects. Just letting other pet parents know what can happen. I'm sure it will wear off, but for now, it's just upsetting to watch."

For Chronic Pain "Did the sublingual buprenorphine for pain. Didn't think much then the pain in my back felt better, along with my shoulders, arms, and hands. Started nose itching after a few hours, here I am, 13 hours later, and it's still working."

For Pain "I started Buprenex for pain 10 years ago, and it has been a lifesaver to me. I tried pain pills, and they did not come close to giving me good pain relief. Subutex and Suboxone are only approved for detox. Buprenex injection is just approved for pain relief. Buprenex gave me back some quality of life. No pain pill lasted long enough or came close to relieving the pain like Buprenex. It does not give you constipation at all."

For Pain "I had fallen down the stairs and was impaled on my banister through my buttocks-as one can imagine, it is indeed rather displeasing. But then I took a bucketload of Buprenex and it sorted me out-10/10, would recommend!"

For Chronic Pain "Had a fall accident followed by a severe auto accident and neck surgery. Nothing controlled the pain till I found this medication. This medication controlled the pain very well for well over 20 years. Prior to this medication, I had no life but suffering and going from pain doctor to pain doctor who were all incompetent as far as controlling the pain and too dumb to listen to you. Had a period when it became unavailable due to manufacturer mismanagement and supply stoppage. Went straight back to agonizing uncontrolled pain for most of a year with other ineffective medications. Further, this medication is totally safe, and there are no side effects of any kind. The biggest problem is finding a doctor smart enough to prescribe it. Despite it being milder, far less addictive, having no major withdrawal symptoms, and working far better on chronic pain, doctors aren't smart enough to prescribe it, or they fixate on asinine rationing instead of proper dosage and pain control. It really is a miracle drug."

For Chronic Pain "I've been a chronic pain patient since I was 10. We have been trying the Belbuca of this med genre. I am on the starter dose of 75 mg. The first 3 days were rough, but we cut the morning dose in half to help with side effects. The pain relief does great, except it does nothing for inflamed spinal pain. That's its major drawback. My lower back will get so hot, making me nauseous immediately. If you already get migraines, this medication will make it worse tenfold. The light sensitivity and head pressure are so debilitating. Now, it assists greatly with nerve and body pain. I haven't even been on it a full 4 weeks and I'm conflicted. The pain is gone, but the hot flashes and side effects make it not worth it."
