Ok, so I was original subutex for several years after being on never less than 55mgs of methadone in clinical setting at the lowest and 150mg of orange roxane and various forms including once 5mg pills that came out a bottle that read "dolophine", this is important to note, cause I am pretty confident I am not the only junkie who had to try to find the strongest form of the drug, being in NYC, options are widespread, but methadose cherry poison is most common.
Anyway, when I originally went on Subutex for 3 years, I still had it in my head methadone is a "real opiod" so I am gonna get a better replacement therapy effect right? WRONG, after over a year on the Dolophine providing program at 150mgs during the peak of my stupidity. All this did was make me wake up everyday at 5am like all other forms did, and my life was simply a broken life still, I had better life addicted to heroin, thats a big statement.
So I got down to 90, a dose I know easy for me to switch to bupe. Found the best doctor, not a hack, but a smart, personalized care giving, 24hour access to him via his patient phone and unlike most doctors, he was not hesitant to call my insurance to get me prior authorization for roxane 8mg buprenorphine #60 on first visit, now I do not get subutex for reasons I did in the past, I have sustained major head trauma from a drunken driver hitting me before I could even see a car was anywhere near, so I get headaches, and I am not happy with comments I have been having to read about RB killing production of subutex and sending out memos to doctors in their network to not dispense it, cause sadly, I sometimes wind up in the hospital, and if I do not provide my own buprenorphine sublingual tablets, I get no option other than the film.
That said, I would normally be praising RB highly for this medication after not appreciating it when I first had it years back, cause me being a seasoned opiate/opiod user, after doing extensive reading on partial/opiods, I conclude that one comparing Methadone to Bupe would be like comparing crystal meth to ritalin. Bupe is actually a thebaine and therefore opium derivative just like oxycodone I believe is, and after getting on meth, off meth, on bupe, off bupe, on meth, back on bupe, methadone is to me much more of a DXM related chemical that happens to exhibit opiod effects to a certain and for me never increasing degree.
Since being on Buprenorphine for a week again, I can say yes I feel that awesome salvation from the poisonous out-dated crime causing(prescription drug black market out of control thanks in part)chemical. Not only do I feel a respect for this medication, that I did not used to have when I was getting it easier and through a medicare participating doctor, but trust me, 250 for the doctor I have now, being he ran two methadone clinics, he is very smart, and he listens as well as always being ready to see you on short same day notice and no waiting in line well addicts talk a xanax script out of him if he does not think you sell your meds and you pass a non weed drug screening once a month for his own safety as well as my own.
When I was in methadone W/D and waiting for my pharmacist to open up and have my two roxane bottles in(I love factory bottles) I waited longer between me taking the two chemicals than I believe ever in my past. This coupled to snorting a whole perc. look-a-like, immediately put it all together. If you get past the option to dose multiple times a day, and 30 day supply's, next month I will get 90, to have an extra bottle for emergency or travel, if you get over the life turnarounds people make on bupe, it can be as restricted as methadone, its still closer to a real opiate, I feel as if I am on a decent opiod buzz, methadone doesnt feel like this.
I think you get my point. I wasn't respectful of its powers and advantages in the past, but even if I rapidly build tolerance to this generic, but seemingly stronger, I plan on getting myself a lock box so nobody, including my father, gets myself and themselves in a heap of trouble taking one thinking it will be a oxy high, but he is much too opiod naive.
To the people claiming Roxane's product is not up to par, I wouldn't ever believe somebody would actually have that view, specially anyone in the USA who knows Roxane is a great company albeit the tabs are pretty dense for sublingual dosing. Teva price gouges hospital patients or the hospital leaving uninsured emergency room visit drugs extremely inflated price wise the same way Mylan is king of the worst generics on the market and overflowing in hospitals as well also gouging prices, charging pysch patients 8 dollars for single milligram klonopins that I am pretty sure have more calories than anything.
