Rhodes/purdue Buprenorphine Hcl 8mg Rp B8 Vs Roxanne 54 411 (Page 7) (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: PLFT (# 890)

Man I hated the Oarange ones always felt like they spaced me out really bad and made me confused, I’ve never been hooked on Xanax but I’ve taken them way too many times to not know better to anymore, so I’ve never had to deal with being chemically dependent on them but a friend of mine told me about thrive and how it helped him during withdrawal from pain pills, I know there’s a big difference between Xanax and pain pills but maybe it’ll help, if not I’m sure there are other support threads that other people in similar situations share what helped them while getting off Xanax, either way good luck

YOU CAN DIE from benzo withdrawals if you don’t taper I’ve done it many times, it always sucks, I’ve tapered off 3 mg Alprazolam after 3years use and I did it over a month or two, but my best advice is just take enough not to feel sick and don’t drop too quick, I’ve done it in a week before but it was much worse and with drawl symptoms lasted weeks, no sleep, hot sweat, hallucinations

Can we just acknowledge the 'irony' of the same company that caused the opioid crisis in the US now marketing a drug used in OST. Should be illegal.

My pharmacy just recently switched me to the new R P b 8 White ones that you’re talking about. I like them a lot better. To me either stronger and when you put them in your mouth it doesn’t accumulate a lot of saliva like the other ones. To me I think these are the best the newest and the best

Re: Kk (# 928)

They are very strong. Instead of taking a half, take 2mg and it will be great for ya. No need to switch, just take less of a strong one. They are the best.

Re: Goozer (# 937)

A sealed bottled doesn’t mean chalky and dull. The manufacturer of the medicine shows that the pills are supposed to be shiny and solid and even the spacing is off. The RP imprint is close when it’s supposed to be far apart and same with the b8. The pills are supposed to be shiny and solid, I’m thinking they’re a fraudulent medication. {edited for privacy}

Re: PLFT (# 932)

Hi thanks for your response. I'm still unable to get a scriot for my anxiety it's a shame bc i suffer each n everyday its sad its like the drs n psychiatrist don't care they're willing to write anything else but a benzo the one medicine that i actually do need. It's now been 13yrs since the passing of my brother gma n papa and it still feels like yest. I have ptsd and many other things going on but with me being on subutex no dr even wants to even consider to have you taking both@the sometime at least up north that is here in va. I've lost all hope in our Dr's n I've came to reality that I'll never get my script back that i was prev on back in 2013 due to me being on the subs shame that they put u in this predicament.

Re: Davemp88 (# 950)

Hi, I am currently on a stimulant for ADHD Disorder Vyvanse 70mg 1 x day but he isn't wanting to hear me out when I try and explain to him my situation on still having issues with my anxiety he brushes it off as if I don't even have the disorder and gives me some dumbass suggestions on how to remember my brother n GMA passing bah bah bah the same ol s*** its all a bunch of bs. I have prev history of being on Xanax 1 mg 3 xs a day for approx 6 years after my brothers passing but since I went to suboxone/Subutex the 1st physiatrist that I saw straight up told me he had no problem writing me out the script for them and was going to do so until he saw where I had gotten a script filled for Subutex so that shot it all to hell talking about a big disappointment and was out of $200 for the visit as well as the 2hr drive I drove to see them...I suffer every day and it seems like it's getting worse every day It's to the point that I'm not even feeling my Subutex any longer and I am wanting to take more just because of my anxiety/depression. I wished I knew a dr here in VA near me that could and is willing to help sad that it comes down to this. These Drs don't understand they really don't.

Hey, figured I'd chime in.

I know this thread is a few years old now.

I just picked up the rhodes pills from Walgreens, here in Woodbridge NJ. For a script of 25, with the GoodRx coupon, it came out to $16.50. I couldn't believe how cheap it was.

I've been using the roxannes for the longest now. I searched the web to see the opinion is about the rhodes and I stumbled on this thread.

It sounds like a lot of ppl like the rhodes so that good to hear.

I'll report back and share my experience with them.

The take away message from my comment however is to use the GoodRx app and you will save money.

Re: Tnice2 (# 957)

Medical professionals do not seem to understand you can suffer from opiate addiction and hopefully get relief from suboxone,etc, but when you mention anxiety/ panic attacks , they ate slow to respond to chemical treatment.That’s total crap! I have both and PTSD and need meds for all of the above. A prayer for some compassionate doctors to come all our ways...????

Re: Sinner85 (# 961)

Same. It's a very very long withdrawal. Some people say it isn't as severe as other opiate wd... but I think it's all awful. I seriously wish I could be literally knocked out for a week or more just to get this all out of my system, but it's likely to take longer than that. I am stable and all I want is to live my life without worrying about Dr appts and filling an RX each month (although it's better than trying to find pain medication almost daily to stay well and buying it illegally... years ago and I don't miss anything about it).

I am going to just keep taking it slow. Tapering past a certain point makes me feel terrible all the time. Addiction is a terrible disease. As far as the anxiety goes, I can relate. Sending positive thoughts to everyone dealing with anything like this disease in any capacity. Thank you all for your posts here. Seriously, knowing I'm not the only one helps.??

Re: Jujubees (# 960)

My husband is down to a half 2 days and quarter the other five and he has started feeling bad. He is moody and sometimes emotional and has started the yawning and sneezing. He is hopeful to quit but I am more skeptical. I still take two a day and he gets mad at me sometimes or ( jealous). I’m just not ready yet. He has been on the subs a lot longer than me. I really hope you guys are successful. I can’t even imagine how great it would be to get out from under all pills for good. I think I’m just scared. Best of luck to you!
