Can Subutex Be A Small White Round Pill With 8 On One Side And An Arrow On The Other (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

My friend takes 8mg subutex and when he picked up his script today, they weren't the usual white tablet. They were white and the size of a 2mg subutex with an 8 on one side and an arrow on the other. Could his pharmacist have made a big mistake or are these just a different brand??

The smaller Subutex suck. I hardly feel them and they do not remain in my system as long. I would take the old big Subutex over them any day. I can take 1/4 of a big one and it works better than the small ones any time.

I have been on the 8mg subutex for several years and always had the large teva pills. Then recently got the little 8mg, arrow brand and like them. I was worried at first that they would be weaker or my brain made me think that, but after a couple days was suprised how well and, quick they worked. So I agree the 8mgs with the arrow are quite nice indeed chaps

Actually the small subtext with the 8 on one side and the arrow ( which also serves as a line to break tablet in half ) on the other side , are made by Hitech, in the US. I get them in sealed bottles monthly and like the very much for their smaller size they desolve quicker than the larger subs. If my pharmacy only has the larger ones I will go elsewhere to get my script filled with the smaller hitechs. I don't like the volume and the length of time the larger ones require to desolve sublingualy.

I'm having the same problems, did great for five years on 16mgs a day, no failed drug panels, no wanting to take more, life was great, then a few months ago they went with the smaller pill with the arrow, now I have the first failed drug panel in five years. Didn't understand what was going on until I put 2 and 2 together. Now I understand, I now they are the same drug, but it's all in my head, somehow my brain is saying I'm not getting enough, it's all screwed up, and I know it's just me, but part of addiction is all in your head away, i'm praying my dr will understand and help me find my old 8mg pill, I so fear the train wreck of my old life coming back, it will be jail or death for sure, and I had five great years, old well, life not fair, can't live forever

I've found its mostly psychological... Because you're taking a smaller pill, you're tricking yourself to think you need more. If you legitimately forget about the size of the pill, you're fine. There is the SAME amount of Buprenorphine in the small pills as the larger pills. It doesn't ware of faster, abd you don't need more for same affect. It really is just psychological. Remember, if you're taking these, you're either an addict in recovery, or you're an addict looking to feel high, either way, you're an addict... Therefore, you may still be thinking like an addict, and as a result, you will have that "it's less, so I need more" thought... It is the SAME amount of drug. This medication shouldn't be doubled up, because you FEEL like you need more. This is a STRONG synthetic opiate, the strongest from what I an told by doctors and research! DO NOT be fooled, you CAN overdose on this medication! There is NO blocker like in Suboxone! This medication is meant to keep pregnant woman from withdrawing during pregnancy, to keep their babies alive! If you are truly looking to get clean, and are not pregnant, you should be taking Suboxone! I know personal friends that have died from Suboxone/Subutex abuse! There are HUGE risks involved, so talk to your doctor! If you can't get off the feeling you need more, REQUEST THE REGULAR LARGER SIZES PILLS!!! You don't HAVE to take the small ones! If the pharmacy you're at doesn't have them, call a few days in advance and they WILL order them for you! If for some ridiculous train they won't (which they will), or you didn't call ahead, go to any other pharmacy, because they will likely have the larger ones; only a couple pharmacies regularly carry the small ones (Walgreen's & SOME Rite-Aids). Best of luck guys! Be safe! Check your local needle exchange as well for Naloxone programs! The one in Portland, Maine offers a Naloxone kit and training, incase of an overdose, you can now break out your Naloxone kit, and potentially save the life of an overdosing individual while EMTs arrive! Don't hesitate to call 911 when someone overdoses either! Most states now can NOT charge you for drug possession when EMTs arrive in scene, because too many used to not call, out of fear of arrest. Savings a life is more important than a lame drug charge, so immunity is generally given to save someone's life now, if drugs/ paraphernalia are on scene. Be safe and Happy Easter!

I just b it the same ones from Walgreens I've never seen them before, but there as small as an aspirin and the have a 8 on one side and a arrow on the other. The verdict is still out if they work as good as the bigger ones.some say they love them because they don't have the extra fillers but others say they feel as they have to take more to get the same effect. I think there fine

It is another pharmaceutical company brand of Subutex. They are in fact 8mg Subutex, and in my opinion, better than the larger ones. Unfortunately, they are harder to break up into smaller doses, like if you need to do 1 1/2, 1 3/4, or 1 1/4, but with less "fillers" they dissolve quicker if taken properly. Anyway, yes, they absolutely are Subutex, and you can simply request the others, if you prefer them, and your pharmacy has any in stock, or you can continue to request the small ones if you like. My wife prefers the smaller ones, and this last fill got the larger ones; she asked the pharmacist if she can get the small ones again next time, and they just asked that she call a few days before filling, so they can order enough in stock to do so; I'd just recommend you do the same, regardless of which you'd like to have, to be sure they have the ones you want on hand at time of filling.

My wife and i messed up after 4 years clean. After about 2 weeks we wanted out and found someone with the small 8 arrow pills. We waited about 14 hours after last use and it put us inter severe withdrawal and it would not stop even after 24 hrs we still couldn't get well. Has anyone had the same issue and is it possible to detox using these. I have used the subutex in the past and it worked great. I just don't want to keep using but can't get past the first day of withdrawal before using.

I know this forum is old but if a pill (any pill) Is the same mg and has the same active ingredients as a smaller version then the size difference is just fillers not being added.

Think about it the only difference is size bro 8mg is 8mg some pills have more filler than others dope fiends would probably prefer the 8<--- subutex becuze they are smaller and more concentrated thus making them more effective when insufflating
