Experiences with NEW generic Suboxone strips

[Blondie0413]

I had my monthly Suboxone script filled, I get the 8/2mg strips. First I was surprised because I was only being charged $3.35 instead of $8.35. I was told it was because I was receiving the NEW generic bup/naloxone strips. I'm actually kinda excited. So far, the only major things I've noticed is that I woke this morning and my fingers were very swollen & painful. When I first started Suboxone I was given the generic pills. I had constant swelling in my hands and feet & headache's. They changed me over to the sub strips before requesting my insurance to cover Subutex. Strangely, it got much better on the strips. Usually it was both hands and feet everyday. This morning it returned after starting the new strips yesterday morning. BUUTTT..... it was only one hand so it might have nothing to do with it. I noticed that once I've put it under my tongue it seems to melt and be absorbed much quicker than the name brand & they have the same taste as the others but it disappears quicker as well. I don't feel withdrawal's nor do I feel high. So far, I think the potency is the same as the other ones.
ANYBODY ELSE TRIED THEM YET???? I'd love to hear from you!!!!

Hi new to this site however was wondering how the generic sub worked or is working for you ? Does it work the same ?

I find the suboxone to be VERY strong, nauseating and makes me slightly high, even at 1/8th of the 2mg sublingual film! New to it so just trying to figure it out...
