Yeah, I am scripted 2 X 600 mcg per day. At first I ended up wasting several strips per month. There is a knack to getting them to stick correctly. I ended up short and got in trouble for having naloxone in my system from my stockpile of Zubsolv.
Originally my insurance company disapproved the PA as my doctor must feel compelled to write it for ORT, but when I wrote them a letter asking them to relent as lower dose bupe works better for pain for me and I don't get headaches because there is no naloxone, they approved. Don't know if I'll stay with them long term. Probably depends on whether the doctor will eventually prescribe hydrocodone along with the Belbuca as they had done with Zubsolv. The insurance company ultimately nixed this and said they wouldn't pay for the Zubsolv if hydrocodone was prescribed with it.
Is there anything in particular you wanted to know?
