Which form of Buprenorphine helps you the most?
#1
We have finally reached a point where we have plenty of options in terms of buprenophine treatment.
Buprenorphine tabs, films, at various strengths and with or without naloxone.   We have different generics of those, and new medications with buprenorphine recently approved.  Once monthly depot shots, and other companies using buprenorphine as a dependence medication as well as pain management option.  Which do you prefer?  Please describe in details strength, brand or generic, and if possible company who makes the one that helps you the most.

I prefer the strips because the bup is evenly distributed along the strip as opposed to pills. It also dissolves a bit easier and is more convenient. Don’t have to worry about it breaking in a wallet and turning to powder, fall out and loose it etc.

I like subutex the best. But my doc will only prescribe me suboxone. Films. He won’t budge on it. Something in it makes my ankles swell up and my joints hurt worse than ever.

Same here, my doc switched me to subutex during my pregnancy bc he says it does less harm, but once my daughter was born he made me switch right back. I went from being on the lowest dose possible back to Films 3x a day. Very strange how they are so opposed to it especially when it sounds like your having allergic reactions.

What’s the difference between subutex and suboxone? Is it possible the doctors could be profiting more off one than the other?

It’s def a money game. I’ve been on them for 7years. It’s much easier to obtain from a doctor then it used to be though. Thankfully. It can be a tremendous tool to help someone get out of the grips of addiction.

Always possible money is involved. To my knowledge subutex doesn’t have naloxone in it where 
suboxone has a small dose of naloxone.

-oxone is perceived by doctors to have less abuse potential, because of the naloxone added to -oxone. I have it on good authority that theres no discernible difference between the two, even when administered in ways other than sublingual. -oxone was a hugely successful money grab by pharm companies. The naloxone has zero effect, once a person is habituated to bupe.
