Chronic Pain
"I recently wrote about being put on Belbuca. I&#039;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&#039;t cover the 8mg buprenorphine...but I&#039;ve since found out that they didn&#039;t fill out the form for that like they did for the Belbuca! I&#039;ve come to the conclusion that some drug rep went by my doctor&#039;s office, gave them some $0 copay cards, and asked them to push the Belbuca!! I don&#039;t care if something is supposed to work 2x as good...that doesn&#039;t mean you cut someone down from 24mg of buprenorphine/day to less than 2mg/day! For those who don&#039;t know how to look up conversions 750mcg is equal to 0.75mg!!! I&#039;m back on subutex!!"
