For Opioid Use Disorder "I tried this before, and it gave me headaches, and got me restless, and wore off in a few hours, and was a horrible negative experience. Of course, that wasn't true, but if they were to get that P.A. back saying, if the patient just wants Suboxone because that's all he's known and used and doesn't want to switch, 100% guarantee deny. They said, unfortunately, more times than not, insurance companies deny these P.A. requests. I was scared, especially after reading so many comments on here about my same situation, and it brings horrible! I prayed! The next day, Thursday, my doctor called and said...... I WAS APPROVED!!! WOO! So, guys, YOU CAN appeal an insurance decision to only trying to cover Zubsolv and not Suboxone like you're used to, it was easy and fast!"

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 "I hate this medicine so much. I was a heroin addict for two and a half years, and I stopped by taking Suboxone. I’ve been taking Suboxone for about seven months, and it worked perfectly fine. But then I lost half my script, and when I went to the doctor to figure out what to do, he said he would prescribe me Zubsolv for the remaining amount of time because he said the pharmacy wouldn’t prescribe me Suboxone again. Zubsolv has been making me feel like I’m wired, but not in a good way, giving me horrible headaches, nausea, and making my BP go up so high, and I don’t know why it’s doing this. I still have a week to go taking it, and this is literally pure torture."

For Opioid Use Disorder "Due to my insurance not paying for Suboxone strips in January 2023, I was put on Zubsolv 5.7-1.4 mg tabs, and I will say for me it works just as well. It dissolves quicker, and the taste is way better (minty taste) than the Suboxone strips, which by the way taste horrible. I'm 5 years now clean from opiates, before that, I was abusing opiates for 20 years. I have no side effects from this, unlike when I did with Suboxone, which was upset stomach and headaches."

"I switched from 2 mg films (tried cutting 8 mg into 1/4s). I'm highly allergic to aspartame, and it took us months to figure out why I was having ulcers/swelling. Now I take Zubsolv 1.4 twice a day for pain. The only bad thing about this drug is that I get 'wired.' But if I take it at the same time each day, not only is my pain rated about a 2, I also avoid the headache and wired feeling. I do wish I could cut it in 1/4ths sometimes because I think I could take even less than I take and be fine. Oh, well. It's still an awesome alternative to pills!"
