Using Bupernex

I AM ON BUPERNEX FOR THE PAST 6 YEARS AND MY COMPANY IS CHANGING INSURANCE PLANS AND THE MED IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE NEW PLAN THAT I AM GOING ON . SO I HAVE BEEN DOING ALOT OF ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND SUBOXONE AS A SUBSTITUE WHICH THE NEW INSURANCE WILL COVER. CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME TIPS ON THIS DRUG. RIGHT NOW WITH THE BUPERNEX I USE IT WITH A NEEDLE I HEARD THAT THE SUBOXONE IS UNDER THE TONGUE. I HOPE I CAN GET USED TO THAT. IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFO ON THIS PLEASE WRITE BACK TO ME I COULD USE THE INFO.
THANKS SO MUCH

Haven't ever used it, but heard so much good stuff on it! You need to post to mistyeyes or JohnDee, they both told me everything about it. Everybody on here loves it, some say its a miracle drug. Hope you get your information, sorry i couldn't help that much, i'am still trying to over come my addiction, so i wouldn't be much help.
Lesli, its basically the same drug. Suboxone is Buprenorphine with naxolene, which is added to discourage people from injecting it. Burprenex is plain Buprenorphine w/o naxolene.
It should work the same as the drug your taking, although sublinguily not as much is ingested as when its injected so you may need a higher dose to achieve the same result.
Also subutex metabolizes quicker than suboxone so that may come into play when you dose.

Good luck

WHAT IS SUBUTEX MEAN?
THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP
Sorry Lesli, I made a mistake in that post.
Suboxone - buprenorphine with naxolene
Subutex - buprenorphine without naloxone
MY DOCTOR IS PRESCRIBING ME MY BUPERNEX WILL THERE BE A PROBLEM FOR HIM TO PRESBRCIBE ME THE SUBOXONE? HE IS NOT A PAIN MANAGEMENT DR PER SAY BUT I HAD NO PROBLEM GETTING THE BUPERNEX FILLED. I HOPE I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM GETTING THE SUBOXONE FILLED.
I cant answer that question, only your doctor can. I would find out soon if I were you.
