chronic pain
"I recently wrote about being put on Belbuca. I'm the one with DDD, a grade 2 spondylolisthesis, and arthritis that causes me chronic pain! My doctor had switched me to Belbuca because they said my insurance wouldn't cover the 8mg buprenorphine...but I've since found out that they didn't fill out the form for that like they did for the Belbuca! I've come to the conclusion that some drug rep went by my doctor's office, gave them some $0 copay cards, and asked them to push the Belbuca!! I don't care if something is supposed to work 2x as good...that doesn't mean you cut someone down from 24mg of buprenorphine/day to less than 2mg/day! For those who don't know how to look up conversions 750mcg is equal to 0.75mg!!! I'm back on subutex!!"
