Comparing Suboxone vs Subutex

For Opiate Dependence: I have been on Suboxone for a year and a half and it has been a godsend. If it weren't for Suboxone I would probably be dead, no joke. So far I've been lucky and my insurance still pays for name brand. For those who claim the generics are exactly the same, that's rubbish. I am glad generics work for some of you but I'm a pharmacology student and I will let you in on a little FDA secret. As long as the active ingredients are the same medication as name brand the FDA allows a generic to be 40% weaker or up to 20% stronger than name brand, this applies to all the generic medications, not just Suboxone. It's the FDA's dirty little secret. So for those claiming to have to double the dose on certain generics, I absolutely believe you. Don't be fooled by the drug companies and the FDA. All generics are absolutely NOT the same as name brand. Hope this info helps someone.

For Opiate Dependence: My story is like most people’s I took pain pills for period cramps and my back after a long work day but than when my relationship crumbled so did I. I started taking pain pills so I wouldn’t feel the sadness and it turns out I would be destroying my life. I use to take one 10mg norco in the morning and one 10mg at night. Years later my tolerance for them was through the roof I was taking them just to feel normal. Pawning anything I could when my paycheck would run out because I spent every dime of my money on pills. I didn’t get the euphoria of them anymore just took them to avoid withdrawal. I was taking around 12-15 10mg a day and I was miserable. I am on suboxone and believe it or not I have my life back. This is a miracle drug believe it or not. If your back is against the wall and you feel like you have nothing left I promise you give suboxone a try it might just give you your LIFE BACK!

For Opiate Dependence: I have been on Subutex for 2 years now. Before I was into pain pills , then moved up to heroin for about 8 years. A lot of people blame the drug for just not working but you have to be ready to stop getting high. This last attempt to stop I was desperate went to a 120 day treatment facility and started Subutex and have now been clean a lil over 2 years. A lot of people say I'm trading one addiction for another and that's fine at least now I'm not sticking a needle in my arm or hurting the people I love to get another fix. When I started Subutex I was jobless living in a homeless shelter and now. I have a house, job, car and kids back in my life . I've seen people leaving comments bashing the drug or praising it. Look it's different for everybody. No I do not give the drug all the credit because you need to have the desire to stop getting high for it to work to begin with. Just like NA and AA Subutex isn't the cure all. It can help if you really want it to tho !

For Opiate Dependence: I absolutely love this medicine. It helped my back pain and increased my mood. I have been on the 2 mg for about 6 months and finally after breaking the last three in half for four days (1 mg) I have gone cold turkey. WOW first day is okay, second and third are the killers, no motivation, no sleep, however on the 4th day I was feeling better and saw my doctor on the 5th day. He was expecting me to beg for more, but I turned him down, I wanted off the ride for good. He was so proud which made me feel better. I am now back at work and it is HARD but I am making it. Really folks get the 2 mg and break them into half's, and then half those till you are out... Within 5 days you will be FINE.
