Any responses appreciated !

Is there a difference between Subutex and Suboxone?
by njshar, 3 minutes ago
I was given Subutex in a private office setting to detox, followed by a prescription for Suboxone to pick up and take at home.  Honestly I felt that the Subutex worked much better to take away withdrawl symptons than Suboxone did when I got home.   The lady told me that they use Subutex to detox and then send you home with a script for Suboxone.  I would rather just take Subutex.  Are they really that different or is it all in my "head"????

Thanks for any responses

yes, but you can't take suboxone until you are wd if that makes sence...go to social addiction I saw a good thread about suboxone that had a lot of info in it a few days ago if I find it I will send you the link in a message :)
