Orange Subutex 153 (Page 5)
(Newest replies first)

I refilled my monthly subutex Tuesday and received orange oblong tablets inscribed 153. My pharmacy has carried 54/111 over three years. Does anyone know if the orange ones are going to permanently replace all other generic Buprenorphine? Also, are any other patients experiencing loss in quality? Thank you

It's all up to the individual, but I will say there has been a lot of complaints where this generic is concerned. Most patients are complaining about the after taste, but there are some that are claiming they are not absorbing as well as the other brands and they are feeling withdraw sooner.

Are you sure your tablets stated 54/111 because the only white round pill I know of with those markings are Anti-Malaria pills they use in third world countries. The correct marking should be 54/411. Both drugs are manufactured by Roxone Labratories but could be a very bad mistake if the Malaria medication is what the pharmacy has given you.
Sincerely,

Hi Helpihate...I've noticed if you take more then you should you will get a headache...I took a little less than my normal dose this morning and it works better...and energy is better. The saying less is more I think works in this case! Give it a try and good luck.

I as well just received these low quality generics. Orange subutex with 153 on them do nothing. I feel like they're not even real. I was taking the white ones with an arrow on the other side. They were the best. I hope Walgreens switches back.

I forgot to tell you..yes, put under your tongue. They taste nasty but I don't swallow much till dissolved. You will still have mushy stuff under tongue at times..its ok, just swallow..takes about 2 maybe 3 minutes to dissolve.

They work great for the reason prescribed! Just take a bit...not a lot is needed. For example...I'm prescribed 1 mg..I break of course..but I use even less and it works great for withdraws. Don't take more then you should...no reason to. It takes about 25 to 30 minutes to start working. When you start to feel withdraws..take it. If you do it Right...the last 3 days take less and less...you will find you don't need at all..No more withdraws..but your head may tell you different. If you can take at like 5 or 6 in the evening...you will sleep fine. What mg did they prescribe you?
Good luck!

I have been taking them now for a few days. The after taste is horrible, and the energy level isn't there. I'm on my last script because I'm weening off..but I would have been happier with the old brand.

Hello, Sammy! How are you?

I doubt this is a permanent replacement, it's most likely that the distributor your pharmacy orders from was able to get it for a cheaper price than the others, when they needed to restock their supply. This is very common with generics, it helps create market competition to keep prices lower.

The ones with the logo and 153 on them are manufactured by Actavis and they list them as containing 8mgs of Buprenorphine.

The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Can anyone that's taken them chime in with information on their experience?
