"I was very skeptical about this medicine! I knew I couldn't go to work and be 'sick.' I abused opiates for at least 10 years. Once I had Zubsolv, I immediately felt a sense of well-being that I hadn't felt since before any drug use. I never dreamt I'd have my life back! I just knew I would die a drug addict! I wish I'd have gotten help sooner! Never had a craving, not one! No sickness, some constipation, but nothing I can't deal with. No side effect is as awful as being dope sick, if you ask me! You ARE WORTH SAVING! Make an appointment now!"

"After using heroin for 15+ years. The problem I had with Suboxone was that it made me so sick. My doc switched me to Tex, and this went away. When I moved to the south, no one would write them. The doc said to hold it under my tongue until dissolved, then spit out the saliva. The problem is, subs taste like crap and take 20 min to completely dissolve. A new doc told me about Zubsolv, saying it dissolves much quicker. I decided to try it, and I’m happy I did! It dissolves in 5-10 min and tastes like mint. Cravings are near nonexistent, and I don’t have side effects aside from some nausea if I swallow some. I think most of the negative reviews are psychosomatic. People don’t like change, and this medicine is newer and less known. It’s not a cheap generic! It’s actually more expensive than Suboxone. The dosing also upsets people. The 5.7 is the equivalent of an 8 mg sub, and people just don’t believe that. Whatever, I’m a fan... and heroin free."

"I have been on Zubsolv for almost 5 years. I was just making a cup of tea, and an overwhelming sense of gratitude came over me. If it wasn't for this medication, I don't know where I would be. Or if I would even be alive."

"I have been on Zubsolv for 3 days now because my insurance won't cover Suboxone (which I was on previously for over a year, my insurance company got switched). My doctor told me about Zubsolv, and I gave it a try (and because it's covered through my insurance). I see/feel NO DIFFERENT than from when I was on Suboxone. I personally feel that Zubsolv works better for me. But everyone's body is different. The ONLY thing I DON'T like about Zubsolv is the taste. It is a VERY STRONG MENTHOL TASTE, BUT THE TABLETS DISSOLVE VERY QUICKLY!"

"I have been taking one 5.7 Zubsolv for opiate addiction. I took Suboxone years ago without side effects (some constipation). The Zubsolv makes me feel nauseous, which I never experienced with Suboxone. I started taking Zubsolv in February this year. Since then (it is now X-mas Eve), I have lost 55 lbs, and I am not dieting. Can't eat, I have no appetite and constant nausea, to the point of dry heaves. I was having both constipation and diarrhea but without much output. I feel like I have the flu or a stomach virus for the past 10 months. Now I don't know if it is the Zubsolv or something else. I am having a stomach endoscopy next month. No narcs... putting me to sleep. Am I wasting my time and money, or has anyone else experienced huge weight loss, constant nausea, some vomiting, and diarrhea, and feeling overall malaise?"

"I've been taking pills for 15 years. Then, of course, heroin was cheaper and easier to get, so guess what, I did heroin for 3 years, lost everything. I've tried quitting, buying friends Suboxone, but still ended up relapsing. Then, finally found a treatment center and was prescribed Zubsolv. I freaking love it! 60 days clean. I was offered heroin yesterday at work and just laughed. Saves my life!!!!!"

"My experience. Man, I've used heroin since I was 16 years old. Finally found Suboxone 7 years ago. Started at three 8 mg strips a day. I still used here and there. Two years ago, I was put on Zubsolv after having weaned myself a little over the years. I was put on an 8.6 a day, equal to a 12, and I have never used since being on it. I feel great, make 80 grand a year, have no side effects besides my teeth, but now have implants. The world is an awesome place. Zubsolv saved me. I was still using 4 out of 7 days with the strips, now I won't even answer my phone to old drug friends. It's a whole new life."

"I have had great success with Zubsolv! I started out on Suboxone films, but the taste just got to be too much for me, so my doctor put me on Zubsolv instead. In my experience, it is way better, and I just celebrated my one-year clean anniversary. I am clean and enjoying life. Please ask me any questions you have, if any, I would love to help!!! :)"

"I have been a heroin user for 10 plus years. I started on Suboxone maintenance and switched doctors when I found out my current one did not provide long-term buprenorphine therapy. My new doctor switched me over to Zubsolv, as it is recommended over Suboxone for a long-term maintenance program as it has a much higher bioavailability than Suboxone - the results are incredible. I noticed an increase in energy almost instantly, as well as a HUGE reduction in cravings/thoughts/drug dreams. I take the 5.7 twice a day and am proud to say I have been clean with that dose for over a year now. I do not feel like I am gaining a tolerance, or that it’s not working as well as before (this was a major problem with Suboxone in the past for me). I’m working, going to the gym 3x a week (1.5-mile walk there too!), taking full care of my toddler as well as household duties. I have never done this well in my life. I’m so grateful for this medication allowing me to live a normal, productive life."

"Been on Suboxone/Zubsolv for ten years. Down to one tablet a day. Was on 3 a day. This has been a long process. I just hope my sex life improves. Shame to say, but it has messed me up. But it's better than running the streets looking for oxy's."

"I took a Zubsolv in the doctor's office. I was feeling so sick from no heroin. In 20 minutes, I felt great! I was calm, not shaking, not sweating, nothing. This is a miracle drug. I pray that anyone who needs it can get it somehow!"

"Ok, so here's my experience with Zubsolv. First, I was on Suboxone, and I didn't care for it. It tasted awful and didn't do much for me. Then I got switched to Zubsolv due to insurance, and I have to say, besides a little nausea here and there and the bad aftertaste of them, it's great. I've been off pain meds for over a year now, and I feel so much better. No more going through WDs for weeks 'cause I ran out of my meds early. I know there are people out there that say you can't say you are in recovery if you take Zubsolv, and I don't agree with that at all. I feel like I am in recovery, and I'm proud of myself for the first time in my life. Thank you, Zubsolv, for giving me my life back! I couldn't be happier being on Zubsolv because it works for me! I say give it a chance, it might just save your life like it has mine. I also have zero cravings, and that makes me very happy."

"My wife and I are prescribed 2/5.7 mg of Zubsolv a day. We were on Suboxone before her insurance wouldn't cover it anymore. So the only thing they would cover was Zubsolv. These work great for us. Most days we only take a 1/4 and feel just fine. I think Zubsolv is way better than Suboxone, but it's our option. And we are really close to being done with them. But what your doctor won't tell you is that you can medicate under the dose he gives. They want you to come back for your money. They don't want you to quit because you stop giving them money! But people, with your spouse's support and family, you can get through it. Hang in there, and we all can be clean. Much love to all, and good luck."

"I have been on subs since 2012, and in 2017 switched to Zubsolv. I hate all of these drugs because you are not free, you are still a servant to a drug, but this time from big pharma. If you have the chance, get off. It's cost me two good jobs. I regret being weak-minded. These meds enslave you. I am almost off, and I can't wait until I am done, so I can go back to living."

"I feel like this is a miracle for me. I can't believe how well I'm functioning since having stopped daily heroin use. I started with my first dose of Zubsolv about 5 hours after my final use of heroin. I was feeling at least 3 of my usual withdrawal symptoms before I took the first dose. I was amazed by my 3rd day that I felt like I did prior to starting heroin. I felt great!"

"I got hooked on oxys and heroin in 2006. Been clean since 2009 after my dad passed and Suboxone arrived in our area in orange stop sign form. I was so sick, and that first 1/4 dose, I knew I'd found my miracle. I wouldn't have to use dope anymore. And so began a relationship with Suboxone and working to get my life back. When something saves you from yourself, that becomes hard to separate from. Listen... I get it. I honestly do. But I can say that these Zubs work just as well. Give them a chance."

"I switched from subs to Zubsolv due to my insurance co. would no longer pay for Suboxone. I pay 0 dollars with my insurance plan for Zubs compared to almost 100 bucks for subs (big favor on my part). The Zubsolvs not only dissolve easier but taste better. My dose is 5.7 - 1.4 mgs, and I've actually tapered down from 2.5 pills per day to currently 1.5, which is great. Zubsolv = a lifesaver for me."

"I was prescribed Tylenol 3 for a whole year after a back injury at work and under the care of a pain management specialist. I had a concern for how they were going to get me off of this drug once the spinal injections started to kick in while taking it. Their response - Tylenol 3 is not as addictive as other narcotics! Rubbish! Here I am, 3 years later. I didn’t want to take Tylenol 3 forever, I was having to take 10-12 pills a day just to feel normal. I then sought help and started Suboxone. I’ve been taking 2 of the 8 mg/2 mg for the past year and have felt somewhat normal again. My insurance decided that they wouldn’t cover it anymore and said Zubsolv would be the equivalent! RUBBISH AGAIN! I started taking the 5.7 tab twice a day, and within a day, I was in full withdrawal! Sweats, nausea, crying spells, anxiety! I felt HORRIBLE! I DO NOT RECOMMEND this rubbish to ANYONE! I’d rather pay out-of-pocket and fight the insurance than to feel like I did a few days ago!"

"Wanted to say I’ve been on Suboxone for almost 11 years by choice, and up until a month ago, I was always prescribed the film strips until these newer generic film strips started coming out with past year, and one in particular, from Alvogen Pharmaceutical, they come sealed in a yellow wrapper. Probably a lot of other people would agree with me on how poorly made they are and very ineffective they are. It is like it is very diluted down to the point where it almost feels like a different chemical to me. Anyone else struggling with these? So I asked to switch back to the old school original version of when Suboxone first hit the market, the tablets, and what was sent to my pharmacy was Zubsolv. Never heard of it, still buprenorphine and naloxone, but comes in a quickly dissolving 'minty' tasting ovalish white pill that for me works MUCH SMOOTHER than the generic film strips!!"

"My boyfriend and I were both being prescribed Suboxone, and because of my insurance, I had to switch to Zubsolv! The first day of taking Zubsolv, I didn't like it, but as time went on, I truly believe it works so much better for us! The Suboxone used to give me mood swings and a constant urge for more. Zubsolv has my moods in check, and the effects last longer. I am so glad I gave it a chance!"

"I have been on Zubsolv for just 2 days now, and it is life-changing. I have been taking 10 mg of hydrocodone for a few years now, at least 10 times a day or more, and I cannot believe how well this medication is working. When I would run out of hydrocodone, I would take things like morphine and hydromorphone because I was so scared of getting withdrawals, which only made things worse, obviously. Although I have never tried Subs or any other detox for that matter, I am absolutely shocked at how great I feel. I cannot believe I was so afraid for so long to stop using the painkillers out of fear of withdrawal. I would recommend Zubsolv to anybody wanting to stop opiates to try this route. I feel clear-minded, energized, and I have no need to reach for my pills."

"I wanted to review because the negative comments I read beforehand actually made me uneasy about even trying this. I’m so glad it didn’t stop me from giving it a chance to work. I was on Suboxone 8 mg 2x a day for 6 months before switching to Zubsolv. As I just mentioned, I was a nervous wreck, thinking the worst, after reading many comments from those who have switched from Suboxone to Zubsolv. I had no choice but to give it a try. The first day, I woke up and felt a bit achy. Immediately I thought, “this isn’t going to work, the commenters are correct.” I still continued, and I have to say, while it says dosages are different, I absolutely feel MUCH better on Zubsolv than I did Suboxone. I feel much less of the “medicated” feeling and much more NORMAL and revitalized. For whatever reason, it doesn’t come with some of the side effects I felt with Suboxone (and even the down, depressed feeling I had while on Suboxone is gone)."

"I've been battling heroin addiction for numerous years. I've tried everything under the sun: Suboxone, rehabs, N.A., A.A., self-help, you name it, I've done it. In all my experience, I have to say Zubsolv 5.7 is great. They are no different from Suboxone except the fact that I feel less medicated. They taste better, melt faster, they are cheaper, and it actually works. I like this medication because it works and it's not just simply a substitute but rather a stepping stone along with N.A. meetings and cognitive therapy that I'm doing to help me reach my goals in life."

"I was switched last week from Suboxone to Zubsolv, and it's been a smooth transition for me. And I have read a comment that said all the positive people were paid to give a positive review. That's not the case, I am a real person and have not been paid to write a review by anyone. I am able to get up every day, take care of my house, husband, and kids without any issues. As an addict, I honestly believe people are paying more attention to the lower doses and convincing themselves it's not going to work. If you think that way, you will convince yourself! It's not bad, tastes better, and is so much more affordable."

"I have been on Suboxone for 4 months. I was just switched to Zubsolv because the taste of the Suboxone made me nauseated. So I was switched. I've been using this product for 3 days now. I think it works wonderfully. I have no side effects that I've noticed. I love the taste, so no more nausea."
