Yes There Are Generic Suboxone (Page 2)

Updated

there is a generic Suboxone out now. they begin shipping them to pharmacies the last week of February. also, if you have any type of insurance you will automatically get the generic suboxin. The doctor has no say in whether you get the name brand or generic really. even if he writes a prescription for suboxone, the pharmacist will automatically give you the generics if you have insurance. if you don't have any insurance, you can ask the pharmacist to give you generics because they are cheaper. Plus, R and B has stopped making the name brand suboxin pills. they are only making be films now. So whenever your pharmacy runs out of the original suboxin, there will not be any more.

You all are wrong. Insurance will cover the strips and so will passport. You have to get a pre authorization sent from your doctor. My sister gets the strips on passport and I get em on my insurance for a $20 co pay. And the strips work fine. The white 155 generics work fine, The AN 415 didn't seem to do much for me. Im prescribed 3 a day and the orange ones had me feeling like crap and it was not in my head. I have been on many different types and I am not afraid of change but the orange ones did make me feel rough. So try to get the 155 or strips. And don't think about it as different just go about your day and it will be fine. If you have had the orange generics and had it rough let us know so we can spread the word.

I am on the white generic 2's with the moon on one side 155 on the other. I tried all varietys shapes and sizes. Zubsolv was almost perfect except for they didnt last as long. I dose every 4 hours minimum and 6hrs max because i have chronic pain permanently i also get addicted and have problems as far as full opiods go. I dont like breaking tabs, they never break evenly and its a mess, so i still get 16mgs a day, but spread out at 240 2mgs a month. Strips are no good for me. I tried the 8mg orangr Amneal generic and felt ill and or headaches quite often with pain releif ending way to early. As long as i get 240 actavis 2mgs each month all is good!!! Everyone i knowbon them agrees except one person who actually likes the orange generic crap! No one i know prefers the films.

Not all states are the same when it comes to denials, appeals, and pre-approval coupled with diagnosis. Not to mention the doctor and his staff's skills, in network status and history with a given company. Just to be clear about my qualifications to call out these blanket statements...I'm licensed in 46 states for all insurance types and federally with the suit of numbered series brokerage licenses.
I have Medicare, but NO Part D at my choice, and my employer's policy (Aetna / Medco) thanks to LTD.
Suboxone was easier to get than trying to get effexor several years ago (same company, same policy). So much so I never tried effexor. Before sub film I was on oxycodone (9 a day, 30mg), morphine sulfate ir (12 a day, 30mg), plus a host of other controlled meds and was allowed to get it all in 90 day quantities so as to not go broke with the high cost of month to month retail price that Medco does to force mail order.
Support is a wonderful thing, and if that's not available then a minimum level of respect wouldn't hurt, no?

I went through the Obama Care application process and found no plan that covered Suboxone. I did not look at the ridiculously priced coverage because I cannot afford it as it cost more than the Suboxone. My doc prescribes the film and I really want to get the generic which I believe is only avail in pill form? Hope he allows this because it is way to expensive. BTW I am in FL too

Subsavedme-did you look at the subsidies and how you can spread them out to afford your care? The subsidies go a long way...

You may want to speak to an ACA broker to better understand this. Brokers are paid by the companies to assist you.

Shrinko - I would look to the other posts on suboxone board on here. There is a lot of useful information that will help. Even though it's only been a couple of weeks coming off the stuff has to be done at a steady pace and then the final 1mg has to be done super slow. The doc who put me on it said, how does an iceberg move? That's as fast as you'll want to go down. You'll could be tapering down longer than you took it as a constant. Regardless, check with the doctor who put you on it to make sure you're not going off too fast. Good luck!

Sorry this may be to late but Two weeks at 2mgs.

Drop to 1mg. Dose 1mg for 2 weeks.

Keep cutting the dose in half every 2 weeks until your dose is a crumb. Jump after 2 weeks og a crumb. Also skip days when possible.

The best way by far, is to skip a day or two between doses. Save the doses for when u need to be functioning. Then take smaller doses . Keep doing it. I once went from 8-12mg to .5 mg. and that was all i needed. Saved me alot of money. And that was after not taking them for almost a week. I found its the best way to get your tolerance down. U just gotta skip and go without. And even tho you feel like death; keeping active and getting out ( although the last thing on ur mind) can help alot. U will laugh more, feel more. Music sounds better. Thats the downside to opiates, they really numb ur senses.

Dear Pam, I know this is an old post, but, I came across it. I'm on the films 2. They don't make generics yet 4 them. I heard about the generic pill form. I agree with u about how the films dissolve faster. That's a plus!

Depends on what state you live in. Medicaid covers methadone treatment and suboxone treatment . And they always cover the perscription. The hard part is finding a doctor that can perscribe it and will accept insurance. In my case, only one doctor in my state will accept medicaid for treatment and the place is run like a clinic. Pain in the a s s but it is free because the visits and perscriptions are covered: thos doctor is an hour and a half away as well.
So the hardest part os going to be finding a doctor that will take insuarance. Many want cash for the visit. If you cannot find a doctor, the next best thing is to find a treatment facility or clinic that uses suboxone and they will take the insurance.

I am prescribed the generic subutex. They are a oval/peach with a half moon on 1 side and 153 on the other. Only difference I have noticed is they have a very chalky taste.
