Rhodes/purdue Buprenorphine Hcl 8mg Rp B8 Vs Roxanne 54 411 (Page 57) (Top voted first)

I have made the switch from the 8mg films to 8mg buprenorphine tablets only. With all the research I've done and experience I do my best to stay away from actavis mylan and nowadays sandoz. I noticed everyone has enjoyed the Roxanne now westward generics amongst hi-tech coming in second/mylan. I have no experience with mylan bup and don't want to take the risk even as mylan has always been a waste imo. I'm not a fan of allergan (actavis) taking over watson so depending on the drug dispenses I most stay away. There are as of now 7 manufacturers of generic buprenorphine hcl 8mg (generic subutex). They are in order of my preferred with not much experience except with brand name:

*roxanne (now westward pharma)- 54 411
*hi tech- 8 ^(arrow)
*mylan- M924
*teva (allergen/activas owned) crooked b 799
*actavis- moon 153
*sun pharma- 460 white round
[And the brand new released generic made by Purdue and distributed by Rhodes Pharmaceuticals the new Rhodes generic]
*RP b8- white round bevelled and pretending edges.

I currently have had a smooth switch to the Roxanne/westward and declined mylan, actavis, teva, hi tech, sun pharma as most research and reviews conclude the Roxanne/westward generics the 54 411 seem to be best reviewed. I was unable to find the Purdue/Rhodes pharma newly released generic RB b8 imprinted generic. All I know is Rhodes and Purdue are professionals in the process of making quality meds and not just quality meds but pain relief medication, as they even were the company to CREATE oxycontin. I was able to come across one image of them on the web and they look very similar to the Roxanne 54 411s in size color and mostly shape except for the rhodes/Purdue ones protrude or kind of pop out on each side beyond the bevelled edges. They look really well made and on one side they have RP and otherside b 8 which the b and 8 are fairly far apart. I have been doing great from switching from brand films to the Roxanne westward 54 411s so far. I'm hoping to get some feedback by next month on these newly released rhodes/Purdue generic buprenorphine hcl 8mg. They are the newest and just released October 2017 and look very shinny and quality made. I'm hoping someone here who has tried both the Roxanne/westward and the new Purdue ones imprinted RP b 8 tablets. I am going to try and have my pharmacy special order the new Rhodes generics made by Purdue again imprinted RP b 8 white round shinny tablets fairly similar to the Roxanne but look better quality imo but do not have much experience with generic just brand and am very well versed on pharma companies and their medicine and their quality each one has.

Has anyone tried these new rhodes/Purdue ones imprinted RP b 8? How would you compare them to the Roxanne 54 411 tablets... I hope for a response or it will be trail and error for me when ordering Rhodes next month if i stay on this route and will see how they compare to the Roxanne/westward but will not be til a month away. Please if you have any experience with these generics and especially the new rhodes/Purdue one let me know. Again I was able to locate only one image of them and they look great. They do not look small like hi tech more like a combined Roxanne and mylan with the shininess and how they pop out on each side..they look a little larger like the mylan and Roxanne not small like hi tech or teva or activas they are round tablet imprints RP b8 with b and 8 fairly far apart. Any feedback would be great and I would want to switch to rhodes/Purdue from roxanne (now westward being a factor) generics as they make quality are new just released and approved this year 2017 of October and no one how even mentioned them yet that I can find. With westward buying out Roxanne and them making changes a new generic made by Purdue may be just the one we have been waiting for and needing..again on the 54 411 ones now and looking for feedback on the new Purdue Rhodes ones and if the switch from Roxanne westward to rhodes/Purdue would be better maybe with better quality as they have always been a great and reputable company who makes outstanding drugs. Any feedback would be great.

Re: Mindy (# 1143)

I get the 54's from safeway (if you have one of those near you). I've only ever gotten those and the 8^ in the 4 years I have gone there. Unfortunately, the 8^ are now discontinued from what my pharmacist said. But when that happened, they got the 54's. They order them based on price for in a lot of places. My pharmacist also told me they only had 2 others they could buy from..luckily both were 54's. My friend and I both go there and told them no orange pills, 8^ and 54 are preferred; and they have done a great job at being consistent. Hopefully, you can find a good pharmacy. I do drive to go there. I used to work in that area and now that I don't, I still go out there because they are so consistent. It's about an hour but worth it to me.

Re: Vic (# 1121)

They must've changed the formulation because those Hi-techs had a reputation on discussions boards like this one as being the absolute worst bup. pills out there.

Re: Bup User of 6 years (# 1113)

This is a surprise to read these positive comments about Hi-Tech. That brand was the most hated brand of generic Subutex around. I'm guessing they improved the formula?

Re: Vic (# 1146)

Any luck with these? And what pharmacy did you try? Hopefully they sold their formula to this company and they are making the 8^ again! I've been on the Rhodes RP/B8's but they have so much filler and aren't as strong.

I currently get the Rhodes RP b8. straight 8mg bup. I get them from Costco. they have been the best ones in my opinion besides the 8^ which I can't get anymore. Hearing that they might come back is good news, but I'm not hopeful until I see the real thing. Is there a way to separate the bup from all the filler in the pill like people used to do back in the day with norcos and Vicodin? they used cold water or something like that to separate and filter out the fillers? Idk, just a thought?

Did you ever take the Hi-Tech Buprenorphine? Small arrow in one side then 8 on the other?! They are really good. They went out of business due to illegal billing to Medicare.

Now the Pa pharmacy is selling them, look at PAI Pharma!! https:/­/­paipharma.com/­wholesalers/­

I called Costco and they are back ordered but next time I need a refill I will ask in advance to have them order some!! Good luck!!

Re: Little Bambino (# 45)

Dude chill out. Buprenorphine is definitely a DRUG not a SUPPLEMENT. Haha supplements are natural things like vitamins and cranberry supplements etc. Buprenorphine is a (Synthetic Opioid) that's why your brain freaks out at the mere thought of losing it. You are not sober, it's replacement therapy. Which is fine. For some people being on buprenorphine is better than other opioids, but it's intended for most to be tapered off of. It's still very addicting.

My physician just informed me that the government is discontinuing buprenorphine. I am stunned! Undoubtedly patches will available and that’s all. Has anyone else heard this.

My physician just informed me that the government is doing away with buprenorphine. He said I might not even be able to find it at any pharmacies even now and that a patch will be available. I can’t find any answers on the Internet. According to my physician the government is cracking down on the abuse. What is everyone else doing?

Re: Goozer (# 10)

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW IVE BEEN TAKING THE ROXANE BRAND FOR OVER 4 YEARS AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THEM BUT AFTER DOING THE HI-TECHs 8w/arrow on back there actually TOP BEST OVERALL, you have almost no FILLER TO LET DISSOLVE COMPARED TO ALL THE BIG ONES THEY ARE TINY SO THAT'S WHY MOST PPL WRITE THEM OFF BUT YOU GOT TO REMEMBER, THERE STILL 8MG JUST 90% LESS FILLER SO MORE POTENT.. HOPE THAT HELPS

Re: Charlene (# 88)

This is just the generic companies way of telling the pharmacy the bio equivalence of the active ingredient. Rhodes is best imo they can differ 20% - or + on active ingredient and that is what that is you want to go for the highest one atm but Rhodes is very consistent

the one ingredient that is not the same in Rhodes that is in teva is tri-sodium citrate dyhydrate where tevas has just sodium citrate. all the rest are the same. Rhodes is the same as brand except it does not contain attach maize in it like brand subutex making Rhodes the closest of all generics to brand name.
