Rhodes/purdue Buprenorphine Hcl 8mg Rp B8 Vs Roxanne 54 411 (Page 8) (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: Goozer (# 3)

I have tried the Rp 8b ones from Rhodes. I'm currently waiting for my next visit cause i found a pharmacy Walgreens in south port in my area that has them in stock. In my opinion they are the best. They are better than the 54411 ones in my opinion. I mean kind of the same but I prefer the Rhodes brand. My doctors nurse was an ass to me cause I called asking if the doc could wrote a new script so I could change pharmacies but have to just wait till my next appointment on Wednesday.

Re: Bigman1115 (# 970)

I’ve never got to try the Roxanne... only the orange ovals, Rhodes and hi tech. I’ve been on them so long I really don’t feel anything, I just don’t have any kind of cravings for opiates or my terrible way of life I lived for so many years. That’s another thing people don’t understand..no matter how bad it was out there when I was using, working the streets, homeless, etc,etc, unbelievably we still get addicted not only to the drugs but to the whole lifestyle... That was a biggie to get over in the beginning…I’ve been “clean” 14 years now and never could have done it without suboxone / subutex and change of location. God Bless!

I have been following the Purdue/the sackler family bankruptcy Court cases that are going on now. My question is what will happen to the Rhodes buprenorphine 8mg. Will it still be available in the future?

Re: Roxanne Jenkins (# 1021)

I don’t know what you mean by “the rate of bone” but I think I understand when you said you have been on subutex since 2005. I started with suboxone in late 2008 and switched in about 2015 to subutex. I am still on them but I’m winding down…I’m doing 3/4 of the Rhodes, if I can get them from Walgreens ( they are starting to act funny for some reason about filling any subutex )….or I’m doing one whole small Hi-Tech/ Akorn I get from Rite-Aid, because they are too small to break up. So I’ve been on them all together for 14 years now, and I thought I was going to be on them until I pass away, and I still may be, but I am trying to wean myself down. I’m just sick of taking them and I do not feel anything at all from any brand, and I feel like my mind is right to where I will not use again, as I have no temptation or urges anymore. So yeah, if you have to take them forever, so be it. Don’t let anyone tell you what’s best for you. Everyone is on their own Subutex recovery journey…. PS…I have been taking the small ones for a while now (Hi-Tech/Akorn) and I don’t feel any difference between them and the Rhodes. Maybe it’s just me, idk, but thank God for that!

Re: Vic (# 1070)

I am now on Hikma but its only been like 2 days, so far they are better than the rhodes. I get mine from the Vanderbilt Hospital Pharmacy because they have a program that pays for my medicine. I have the best psychiatrist who actually listens to me and this Medication program, I feel so lucky to have after reading all these reviews and finding out what people pay for their meds.

I am so sad about Akorn going out of business and Im praying someone tries to buy the formula or acquire the company. I did such a internet deep dive when i started to get sick from the rhodes brand switch, i found out they were auctioning off the akorn pharmas factory equipment already. Akorn isn't even trying to care about how this will affect anyone. They gave all their employees a 1 day notice that they no longer had a job and I believe they didn't even give severance pay.

I feel like this may hurt us if the other companies don't realize the need to compensate for this loss on the market and we have a drug shortage for this medication. I do appreciate being able to discuss something like this on here because most would not really understand what we go through. Thank you for replying.

Hi Kate,

Hitech the best! Now hikma they are ok. I had tried the orange ones many years ago they were terrible!! Interesting to hear about hitech and the company. Sad how they just left their employees in a lurch and their customers too!!!
Thanks Kate, update as we go along:)!! Take good care

Re: May (# 1080)

Hi. I have to agree with you, this is the worst thing to know about Akorn going bankrupt. I too had been on this medication for almost 8 years and felt the effect of the manufacturer switch. They gave me a 5411 pill and I had bad tooth problems before on this brand. I lost 3 teeth in the past years, but the Akorn worked for my pain, as I heard, it was causing severe dry mouth, but so do the other brands. I wish someone would buy them out, cause a lot of patients are feeling the effect and such shortage now with the medication is causing me severe stress and anxiety. I never had that with Akorn. I was able to get off Lortab and find a good path on the Akorn 8 mg for getting my life back on track and going back to school. No one knew I was in the program cause the pills were so small and fast to dissolve, and now everyone knows cause it takes about a half hour to dissolve the other brands. I have to say no to the 5411 and the RP B8 I got today, and those are the same as the 5411. However, I hope someone gets the company or another company makes this kind of manufacturing that helps us before it’s too late! Have you ever heard of Sublocade or tried it? That was a recommendation for me instead of pharmacy hopping, and I kinda liked the idea, but they would have the same problem with the injection site. I hear it is painful and the dose doesn’t last the entire month. I don’t think anyone knew how big Akorn was until this, but they should read how many of us are affected by this! Much support to you in our transition, but I’m rooting like you for our meds to be back on track so I stop feeling this withdraw I have!

Hi, the hi tech were the best! The company illegally charged Medicare way too much for bogus claims. They the company went bankrupt! It stinks as they were the best. I like the 54/411 but they were yanked after one time:(! Now it’s the RP I dislike immensely!!

Re: Jenb (# 8)

See the 54 411s leave crumbs just like that but they actually work well and they have strong bup taste. They have stronger taste than Rhodes than Rhodes is stronger..its strange lol..but yes 54 411s are like crumbly like u said..but they work unlike mylan work work well but Rhodes is def a few steps up and better than .

Rhodes/Purdue made- RP b8
Westward (formerly roxanne)-54 411
Then if couldn't get these I would try hi tech-8;arrow as I haven't tried it.

But imagine the mylan that is crumbly and strong that is a little more chalky yet hard and even with spitting the crumbs out it working just almost as well as Rhodes and that is what a 54 411 is like these days. But like u first said Rhodes is best even better than brand..one will do it for the majority of the day when all others u need to take 2 to 3
