For Opioid Use Disorder "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)."

For Opioid Use Disorder "1st day on Zubsolv. I have no history with Suboxone, and I can't compare the two. For the last year, I was averaging 20 days of the month on 150 mg of MD per day and 200 mg of Hydro or Oxy for the other 10 days of the month. My source of MD went to the clinic every two weeks, so I always would be out of MD with 4 or 5 days remaining before this person went back to the clinic. Sad but true, and I accept that I am an idiot. Anyways, 24 days ago I just jumped CT. It was as bad as all you have read about MD. I was desperate and called a clinic and got on Zubsolv. Within 30 minutes, all the anxiety, pain all over, lack of motivation, etc. was fading. 1 hour later, I am like a different person. Based on 1 day, I am a fan."

For Opioid Use Disorder "I've had an extensive history with pain meds. My whole fam literally has drug problems and is addicted to alcohol. I was sober 11 years back in 2001. I was 21. Since I married, we had a child and moved cross-country. When we moved, I found out I had breast cancer. After being diagnosed at 36, finding out I carry the gene, an 18-hour surgery to save my life, throw a pulmonary embolism 3 weeks later my disease took over again. I was put on Zubsolv over 2 years ago. I thought this is a lifesaver! Now, day 15 into detox, I have never in my life had withdrawal this bad! I'm 44, healthy now. I have awful restless leg, flat affect, emotional, fever/chills... all for 11 days now! I have never in my life been in withdrawal for this long! You think it's saving you, you're switching an addiction for another one! No lie."

For Opioid Use Disorder "I switched to this medication after being on methadone 130 mg for 10+ years. I had to drop the methadone down to 40 mg for 5 days, then stop completely for 4 days before I could take Zubsolv. I lost the weight I gained from methadone, got through the depressed feeling by using Lexapro. I'm now coming off Zubsolv after 1 year of 5.7 mg daily. It seems fairly easy so far, wish me luck!"

For Opioid Use Disorder "I have been on and off Suboxone for years from taking pain pills for bad neck pain and headaches. I was doing great for a few months until my doctor prescribed me Zubsolv 2 months ago. I noticed immediately I felt withdrawal symptoms and shortly afterward I started having stomach problems. I gradually became deathly ill and have been in and out of the ER 3 times with all kinds of GI problems, along with a feeling of gas pains all over from my feet, head to my hands. Bad headache, trouble breathing, blurred vision, cannot think clearly, depression, and so on. I think there is something else in Zubsolv that is doing this as I have racked my brain with how this all started. I have episodes of delirium and feel like I'm not going to make it."

For Opioid Use Disorder "Ok, my wife has been on this Zubsolv for over a week now. At first, it seemed to help her. Yesterday, she woke up with a rash on her lower arms. She has gotten really depressed, her anxiety has gone through the roof, she snaps back at the slightest things. It is not helping with her cravings, it seems the longer she takes it, the further my wife becomes a different person from when she was doing pain pills. I'm starting to think it was better she stayed on the pain pills. Has anyone else heard of anything like this before? I'm at a loss for words, and I don't know what I need to do or what to do at this point other than start cutting her dosages down and wean her off this garbage......"
