Hello Dawn! How are you?

Suboxone contains the active ingredients Buprenorphine, and Naloxone, while Subutex contains only Buprenorphine, thus there is no difference between their analgesic ingredients, so if one doesn't alleviate your pain, it is doubtful that the other one will, either, and if you have a history of drug abuse, doctors will be very, very reluctant to prescribe Subutex for you, and it's pretty universal throughout the U.S. to only give Subtext to pregnant women, or people that have a documented allergy to Suboxone.

The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.
