Suboxone Generic?

Anyone got a lead on when they will be rolling out a generic to Suboxone? I believe I read somewhere that Reckitt-B(?) will lose their exclusive patent on the drug in OCT/2009. I'm also sure it takes atleast 3-6 months for the drug companies to work out the legal aspects to produce a generic.

Embeda anyone?

August 26, 2009 by Herrball

Has anyone read about this new Morphine Sulfate formulation that is said to be tamper proof?  It's like the new Remoxy only it's a Morphine formulation that contains a chemical that will reverse the effects of the drug if crushed or melted down.  I was just reading about it and frankly had never heard of it until now.  It's called Embeda and King Pharm. has the OK to start selling it from the FDA.  I don't know anything about strengths, length of time a dose will last you or anything else so I'm trying to see if anyone else knows anything more about this drug????

Change of Medicine

Just wondering about something, I have been here for quite sometime and most of you know why I have to take pain meds. The question I have today though is I think that the 10/325 5x a day is ust not doing anything for me anymore, what would you all suggest for a different medication?
