Orange Subutex No Longer Prescribed In Lieu Of Suboxone (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

To the people that are prescribed the Subutex and were asking the chat board questions about: If you are not a pregnant or breastfeeding woman as of July 1st 2015 then you will be prescribed Suboxone or something else but never just plain Buprenorphine. As far as the orange Halfmoon generic Subutex, you take them the same way that you would take any other kind of subutex / suboxone; they are sublingual.

I'm a 39 yr old male, been taking subutex for 3 years....still not pregnant either. Hmmm. Not sure where people get this false information. Why forums are frowned upon

Where I live here in in TN they did pass a law that went in effect July 1st that only pregnant or nursing women AND people allergic to naxolene or people with hep C ..but if you have hep C u do have to see a hepatologist to show ur liver enzymes are elevated enough that the naxolene will damage liver..... and I would much rather get other patients opinions that have actually taken the meds instead of a pharmacist only who is telling u what he/she has read

Response to a breezy. Not sure where you got your information but I am still and will always be prescribed just plain buprenorphine. I do not and will not be prescribed suboxone . Your info on July 2015 changes is wrong. Stop passing false information

I am a 36 year old father of three who is not pregnant or breastfeeding and I get 240 2mg subutex per month. I didn't have a reaction to naloxone they just helped my chronic pain better so I asked my doc to switch me and she did. I get 8 2mgs per day the 2s with the arrow this month but I think ill switch back to Roxane. Wanted to try these new orange 2s but the general concensus i get is they suck. Many doctors are scared to prescribe tex but not all are brainwashed by RB.

I am currently in a doctor in Washington pa. I am having a hard time finding a pharmacy to fill my script. My doctor doesn't have any suggestions on where to go and I've called around to a ton of places and have tried several places. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Since you are a receptionist I figure you would know. I have searched on line for hours with no luck

Cindy has a valid point about asking questions for other's opinions on medication or anything else for that matter, and I wanted to elaborate a bit more on that concept to help paint an image for its utter importance. In some cases I've stumbled upon through individual testimonies, there have been reports where a patient gets an answer that a pharmacist may not be authorized/allowed to provide accurate information on and will simply lie in order to avoid further confrontation, such as potential discrepancies of or relating to efficacy among various pain meds that provide more or less pain relief than their "allegedly" identical counterparts from other manufacturers. This is just one example, as from what I've witnessed at pharmacy drive-thru's, some pharmacists will not acknowledge any difference and point the finger back at the patient who is the one that truly knows better from having tried both versions of the same medication with "supposedly" the same dosage, only to find out that one works and one has no effect at all. My understanding is that a mainstream pharmacist wouldn't be so quick to call out their own product line as being inferior, despite numerous allegations suggesting otherwise. And in cases like that, a pharmacist would not be the go-to person for advice, but rather it would be the calling of other patients to step froward and testify to their own personal unbiased experience between two products. Just my two-cents, if you will. I'm not saying that all pharmacists are crooked by any means, but if their job as well as their job's reputation is on the line, who knows what they might be willing to say to cover up the truth? Thanks for reading.

What state are you referring to in the above comment? I'm a receptionist at a recovery clinic in PA we have not discontinued prescribing subutex. I have faxed or called in a total of 37 prescriptions this week alone. I think people come on the internet asking about different brands of drugs (not just buprenorphine) to see how other patients have reacted to the brand. Pharmacists can tell you what is in the ingredients, side effects, etc. My boss always compares it to asking the person selling you the generic lunchmeat at the deli vs asking a customer that has eaten the generic lunchmeat. If people go to Yelp for other people's opinions on everything, why shouldn't it be okay to get opinions on medication for goodness sake!
