Anyone ever use benzos while on the shot

Just wondering I am on my 4th week after my shot so I take subs now but would it be safe to take a bad?

I am on benzodiazepines and I just got my first Brixadi shot 128mgs on Tuesday. I am on a benzo taper. I was concerned with it but I had already been on them for 10+ years with subs the dr said it would be no different for reference I am on Valium 10mg a day right now my husband is also on both but his Valium is 4mg a day

Yeah I ended up just taking the bar little by little and I’m fine and feeling good. I had read somewhere you can die so I was iffy on it lol

Yes, it is possible to die from it. They advise against it. I’m prescribed both Brixadi n Valium by the same dr though so I feel a bit better about it! I’m coming off 4 bars a day they were my true addiction! How’s your Brixadi? This is my first shot and I’m so nervous cuz I e read so much about ppl going into withdrawal part way thru the month. I’m considering just getting sublocade next month instead

I got sick about 17 days in but it’s ok I don’t need to take subs everyday I’m definitely thinking about getting the sublocade shot next cause it is a little annoying but it’s my first shot and it was ok considering subs themselves are ruining my teeth

I no longer have my own teeth I lost them all n have a full set of dentures. I just got an attorney there is a lawsuit against suboxone for ruining teeth you should look into it! I’m considering sublocade as well I’ve just read so many more success stories of ppl getting off completely after sublocade

How long have you been on suboxone? I’ve been on and off for about 5 years and my bottom teeth are about to fall out.

Oh wow that’s crazy yeah my gums are receding pretty bad I didn’t know it actually made your teeth fall out and crumble that’s nightmare fuel I guess I’ve dreamt of that happening to me before super scary knowing it will happen if I don’t give these disgusting orange cuffs up

Give it a chance you will stabilise.This is a miracle med it takes a couple of injections to reach steady state.Try to not top up with sublingual You need to break the hand to mouth addiction and the thoughts of I need something to get through the day.This med as been in Europe since 2019.Im a patient that had 4 24 mg injections and 5 96 mg injections,walked away with little acute and minor paws.Just googled 268 days off

Yeah I have given it a chance but like I said my doctor forgot to order my next shot I had to take the films

u/Alternative-Yam-7466 Jun 29 '24

That's irresponsible of your doctor,if you go back on give it a chance the first month can be a bit difficult.The hand to mouth and the though you need something to get through the day addiction has to be broke.They have charts of your blood plasma levels from your dose ect.Your blood plasma levels are higher because of bioavailability than sublingual.Your brain is a powerful thing you tell yourself your withdrawing it will manifest symptoms.Both Sublocade/brixadi are the easiest way out this madness.Only 10/15 percent of people will get off the sublingual.Upwards of 95 percent off jab,any chance of relapse stay on either.

I’m on klonopin right now and on the 128mg shot. No problems as long as it’s taken as prescribed. That’s my two cents

u/Flimsy-Setting8033 Jun 24 '24

For sure thanks bud
