Buprenorphine
"I was started on Subutex in November 2007 to see if the Subutex could offer me some more dependent pain control since I have gastric (stomach) issues and my gastrointestinal tract does not dissolve most medicines especially extended release. The massive doses of MS Contin (400 mg daily) and Dilaudid (16 mg 4X's daily) never got my pain below 5/10. I decided to go off both and found new doctor who suggested we try Subutex and so far my pain scale stays around 3-4 and at most 6/10, I am truly glad to be on the Subutex."
