I have been taking Opana ER for 7years, following recurrent back surgery. My body is dependent on the pain medicine. I tried on my own to decrease my dosage, but the withdrawals were intolerable. I was able to get myself off Vicodin or Norco, from 12/day for 8 years, but it was very gradual, ultimately took 4 months to wean myself off. The Opana is a completely different animal.

I have been taking Opana ER for 7years, following recurrent back surgery. My body is dependent on the pain medicine. I tried on my own to decrease my dosage, but the withdrawals were intolerable. I was able to get myself off Vicodin or Norco, from 12/day for 8 years, but it was very gradual, ultimately took 4 months to wean myself off. The Opana is a completely different animal. Although I have just started the buprenorphine early this morning, I feel that I am honoring my body, with my decision to stop consuming the opioids. The bitter taste is pretty intense, but diminishes relatively quick, around 60 seconds. Wait for 15 minutes before sipping on a beverage. Be well everybody.

I have been on pain killers since 2003 and I got out of control with them. High tolerance and problems in my life and that's a recipe for a addict. Anyway Suboxone is a life saver and I recommend it to anyone who can't stop taking opiate drugs on there own.

I used suboxone for five years and lately it cost $13 a pill at pharmacy with no insurance on the big island of HI. So i'm thankfull for subutex which cost next to nothing for generic (sl), cant seem to find namebrand anymore.I highly recommend asking you'r doctor to switch you to subutex if your paying out of pocket, Joe

Roxanne's brand of buprenorphine... The pills are bitter in taste and the size/shape of them are difficult to dissolve under your tongue. This seems like the only generic brand and only choice of buprenorphine available in North and South Carolina. I used to be on a different brand and they were oval in shape and made by Reckitt Benckiser, now they are completely unavailable and the Hi- Tech b ... Show Full Comment

I used to be on a different brand and they were oval in shape and made by Reckitt Benckiser, now they are completely unavailable and the Hi- Tech brand has somehow disappeared as well. I don't like the Roxanne version and they seem less effective. Does anyone know why these other brands have disappeared from the market?
