Roxane Subutex (westward/hikma) (Page 3)

So for a couple years now my Roxane/westward/hikma pills have been super inconsistent or just flat out felt like 2mgs instead of 8mgs. Sometimes they work sometimes they do almost nothing. It started in about the end of 2015. I think i was taking them before 2015 but never looked at the brand until i started having withdrawals out of nowhere. It was like a completely different med. So for almost 2 years i have been having issues. I'm fed up and i have changed brands but always only had partial fills and back to the roxane/westward/hikma brand. Anyone else notice any differences in this brand?

Isn't it crazy? I tried to lower my pain meds after knee replacements thinking I didn't need as much. But it wasn't enough and I was stuck waiting all month for a change. I'm too old to keep losing a month at a time of my life with this greed and nonsense. Government doesn't care unless you're wealthy or in power.

Same, the 54 411 brand is just awful. I'm on 4 times a day 8mg and it's s***. I've had other brands now looking and calling but some of the ones I kept the bottle so I know what brands, but some have gone out of business or new brand name.

Everyone gets that 20% thing wrong. Each manufacturer is allowed to have a 10% variance in dosage. People get that 20% from saying you were on one generic medication that was 10% stronger than normal but then you get switched to another generic that is 10% weaker ... then technically you would have a possible 20% variance.

Wow you are wrong on so many things i dont know where to start. I've been on subutex for over a decade now. Maybe what you say was true in your case, but you're using a broad brush to paint your picture. I started first on subutex, i remember my doctor saying to me "you don't have track marks and you don't seem like the type to try and inject your medication".

I was on mad amounts of opiates... 100mcg/hr fentanyl patches with either oxycodone or hydromorphone for breakthrough pain. I didn't get sent to rehab. I had my first visit, drug tested, talked a lot. Then I had to go home for 72 hours with cold turkey. Returned to my next visit 3 days later and had to take my first dose there at the clinic until it took effect.

Buprenorphine was never meant for alcoholics, period! That's just stupid. It's been a pain medication for over 70 years.

Too bad they went bankrupt and got bought by Walgreens.

You can get a partial refill of subutex since it doesn't have Naloxone in it. I just got 1 of the horrible Sun brand to get me through until I can pick up the Activis or Hikma brand from another location.

Rhodes Deffinately. I just picked mine up and they're by hikma. We'll see I noticed already they don't last long under your tongue and a chalky taste. With Rhodes they would last 30-45 minutes if I did it right. Is the real Suboxone oranges gone. I could actually feal High and loved them.
