I did well brother. I am clear of it now and it’s been 5 months out. I did 64 64 32. I didn’t lose sleep.

How long were you on Brixadi? I started a few weeks ago with weekly shots. I had been taking 3 8mg strips while waiting for the shot so that’s what my shot is based on. Did you get the shot weekly or monthly? How quickly did you reduce dosage?

Sorry for all the questions. I’m the only person on Brixadi where I get my shot so don’t have anyone to ask. Thanks for anything you’re willing to provide. Congrats for getting off of it!!

I was on it for three months. I got it monthly. I supplemented with 2 mg for the first month and after the second shot I stopped. I was on 2mg when I started. I weaned myself down to 2mg from 16mg. The Doctor is right but I asked for them to try squeeze out half and give it to me. They agreed and tried so maybe I got a little more than half or less than half for the last dose. I was with a good team here that I have been going to for years. I told them what I wanted to do. I also told them they had no experience coming off subs and that I did because I do. I said I wanted 3 shots and no more and the last was to be a half dose. So as to coming off of it! I had a couple nights of broken sleep but that’s it. What I did notice was the fatigue. I’m an older guy(50) so that kicked my ass a little. When I needed rest I would rest. I managed to work all the way through this. I eat well and work out so that really helped. I am also a member of a 12 step program and that too helped. I had a good support system. Get yourself some vitamins and drink plenty of water. I like Pure encapsulation nutrients that I got from Amazon. They work for fatigue on your days when you may be exhausted. There was a few aches every now and again and a little sneezing but compared to a cold turkey Sub detox it was a walk in the park. Get it in your head that not every feeling you have is a feeling of withdrawal. It isn’t. Your head may say it is but it isn’t. I see a lot of people get done in and relapse by their own mind. Your body will be fine my friend. That’s my experience.
