For Opioid Use Disorder "I recently switched from Suboxone to Subutex, and I could not have been more grateful for my doctor allowing the change. I never felt 'good' on Suboxone, I always had a headache, I was always sick to my stomach, and I felt I couldn't do anything until I took my dose. Now, with Subutex, I actually feel GOOD. I have energy, I have a desire to go out and live again, rather than just exist from dose to dose of that awful citrus taste. I also see myself not needing as large of an amount in order to keep me feeling alright. I am so thankful for Subutex."

For Opioid Use Disorder "I suffered with chronic pain for 10 years. Used fentanyl pain patches and codeine number 4. Did very well until the heat and my hormones made the patch secrete in crazy ways, making me sick for about 9 months. I wanted off these patches and was referred to great doctors, and started the Subutex 8 mg and have been a new person since it began. I did have to increase one half pill after about 6 months. Does your body get used to the Subutex, or is my body changing? I'm also menopausal, depressed, and Subutex seems to help with these issues also."

For Opioid Use Disorder "I've been on Suboxone since November 2009, it was the best thing that has ever happened to me. My boyfriend and I became addicted to painkillers together. I had only been taking them for about a year and a half, but my tolerance went through the roof. Last summer, I was taking about 20 pills a day, and I had enough, so I took myself to rehab, and I have been on Suboxone since. I couldn't believe this happened to me, but it can happen to anyone! Just recently, I found out I am pregnant and am very excited. I had the option of detoxing off of Suboxone or switching to Subutex. I wasn't sure, so my primary doctor told me Subutex. So, I chose Subutex, but I cannot stand the taste of it, and being sick every day due to the pregnancy makes it even worse to dissolve."
