Subutex Vs Suboxone

Updated

I have been on suboxone since 2008. 3 weeks ago I was switched to Zubsolve bc my ins stopped paying for the subs. Anyway the Zubs are awful. I've been sick for 3 weeks and am having to take 3x the dose I'm suppose to be taking. I'm going to the doc today to get back on the suboxone, yet I still have the ins problem. Has anyone been on both Suboxone and Subutex to compare the 2. Subutex would be a lot cheaper if it actually works. I don't want to buy another script that doesn't work. Zubsolv was suppose to be the same as suboxone, even better. It is a nightmare for me. It does not work at all like the suboxone. Anyone??? Thanks

Was on buprenorphine for 3 years and My ins did the same thing.. I was on zubsolv for week and had the worst headache, felt awful.. Decided I would try and pay for the bups and turns out because I was getting generic buprenorphine instead of Suboxone I was covered cause apparently they (ins co) would rather pay 15 bucks for generic pill then 250 bucks for namebrand.. Talk to you pharmacist see if there is something comparable... Might work! Good luck!!

@Sky,

Because each tablet contains a different set of inactive ingredients (binders/fillers) you'd probably have to try both Suboxone and Subutex in order to best determine how each one might end up affecting you. I strongly believe that the differences in effects (including side effects) that were felt from taking Zubsolv are directly related to whatever binders and fillers they added to the tablet; and not necessarily the drug itself, since the active ingredients still remain the same between Zubsolv and Suboxone. So just wanted to help clear things up as to why either Suboxone or Subutex could potentially work better than the other.. and not just based upon the presence of Naloxone, but also the extra fillers they might add.

Hope this helps!
