To start, there are many different strengths of suboxone/generic buprenorphine + naloxone, however, the eight mg contains 8mgs of bupe, not 6. How did anyone ever get the idea that the 2 different ingredients would be added together to get the product strength amount even though one is inactive when taken correctly and only put in to deter abuse and has absolutly no theraputic effect or value whatsoever? It is called 8/2mg because thats what it is, otherwise itd be a 6/2mg. Accurately, by the nature of the formulation it'd have to be 6/1.5mgs, as a matter of fact. Next, we'll move on to the person who thinks that there are no tablets, just films or straight bupe/subutex. I've been taking the Actavis brand generic for 10 of the last 11 months and tried the Amneal generic for one month (big mistake).

At least in this case its harmless information that can't hurt anyone at least as far as i can see. However, in many cases a naive individual can really screw themselves up when their knowledge is inaccurate. So i ask all that read this to please only post accurate facts. Somebodys safety just may depend on it.

Generics tablets have been out for a year as of this monthand there are 2 different brands. Actavis (white, quarter moon logo) is carried by CVS, Ameal (orange round, imprint AN over 415) is generally carried by Walgreens. In my opinion the white tab by Actavis blows the others out of the water. I go to Rite Aid where my pharmacist orders me whatever i want and treats me with totalrespect. There is a note in my file that says Actavis brand only. The orange generic is total crap IMO. There is a branf name drug called Zubsolv that is pretty good it just doesnt last as long sometimes. Those have been out since .Sept '13. To the person who said there were only strips and generic tex, i apologize for tearing you up under 1citcumstance: if you reside in the statevof West Virginia. The reason being that due to political reasons and shady R.B pharm reps, tablets are illegal and only strips are allowed. In that case, one could easily believe that strips are all there is without being totally brainless. However if this is not the case, I'd like to suggest you string up, before you procrate and continue to dumb down humanity, you brainless d-bag!!

Sorry for the hot headedness. I had a friend almost die because she went into precipitated withdrawels because she read that someone said straight bupe didnt have a blocker, so thought it was safe to take 6hrs after smack. When she got horrendously sick she didnt think to call me, but instead took a whole bunch of s*** and ended up o.d-ing. Shes fine now, kinda, but it just pissed me off so i was real irate with people posting misinformation for about 48 hours or so. Others on other sites got it a lot worse than you guys. Once again, im sorry. Wasnt trying to be a troll, was just super pissed and didnt deal with it the right way.

Furthermore when implying stupidity towards others, at least have the common decency to utilize spellcheck.

Good thing I'm as stupid as you believe so I could gather some basic understanding of the ineptitude that are your "insults".

Sounds that your over concern about junkies maybe a symptom of benzodiazepine withdrawal. Your intensity is overwhelming.

Chrissy your not alone it is the same way for me. It's like I went to a doctor to get off of roxys now I'm stuck addicted to the suboxone and get nervous when I get low on my prescription , just like I got nervous when I got low on the roxys , I think it's just the nervousness of having to go through the suboxone withdrawal that's why a good taper plan is the key. I went from 24 mgs a day to 4 mgs a day and I'm stuck on that. I just need to keep tapering down till I get to about .25mgs or lower and just bit the bullet and go through the withdrawals , now this is all gradual for me over several months of slowly reducing till I'm off this crap. I've been on it for a long time and sick of being trapped by this crap, never knew it was going to be like this going into it. If I knew then what I know now I would have never took as much as the doctor prescribed me I would have just taken one 8 mg and started to taper once I was stable and tried not to stay on it past a week. Sorry to talk so much about me but I know the feeling and I would just taper down to the smallest amount and get off of it , and you got to reinvent yourself and leave that old life behind friends and all. Your not alone there are millions of us out there , but you got to put the priority on yourself and change your life for the better. I am typing a lot , hopefully I can back this up, I'm a work in progress too.

No . A suboxone strip has 8mg bupe/ 2 mg naloxone. Thats why the script says 8mg/2mg

Yeah I asked the pharmacist the other day and he told me they still make the suboxone tablets and there are generics of the tablet but not the films.

Suboxone pharmaceutical company has a program called Here to Help, two versions actually the one is just a recovery group but they'll give the info you need if you call by accident. Anyway if you have no insurance your prescription is covered for a year, and each doctor is allowed only three patients at a time enrolled so you might havr to wait. But its worth checking into! I have the contact info if anyone needs it, or just ask your docs office if they have a free spot, a lot patients don't know about it so you may have a chance.

I personally like the generic white ones that CVS has better than the generic pink ones that walgreens has which are also OK. the white ones seem to kick in faster harder last a little longer and my opinion. don't let them switch you to that new zubsolv. Its garbage and doesn't last near as long

Some people are wrong on here! For one they do sell Suboxone Pills, orange and white and the other are 8mg Buphrin and 2mg Naloxone. There isn't a 6 and 2 like someone stated, and Walgreens sells Orange generic and CVS sells White generic. No one sells the N-8 octagon Suboxones anymore, the round either orange or white are both generic and both are exactly the same. I don't care for the Strips, I only get the pill for and when they're out of Suboxone. I get the Zubsolv which is 5.7- 1.4 but it's still the same as Suboxones 8/2. They could not put that they're 8.2 mg because erexo doesn't have the patient on them like the makers of Zubsolv. So to answer your question the white and orange are identical except for the taste, but to me both taste good.

They have been out for 4 years. Nobody carries the original Suboxone the N-8 Octagon ones. Ask your pharmacy and they'll tell you the same..

No your wrong. If your prescription says 8/2 mg it means 8mg bupe & 2mg naloxone...I have no idea why you would think they would skimp on the bupe. Lol 8mg is 8mg!
