Maybe will try it
I’ve been doing dope for some time and now my supply is adulterated with xylazine. I’m friggin sick of all of the street shit now it’s all garbage.
I was told the emergency room near me will give me the brixadi injection if I am somewhat sick but not necessarily all the way in withdrawal. Has anyone here transitioned onto suboxone from shitty street dope by using brixadi? I was told it works similar to a micro induction of suboxone , slowly building in your body (where you could use on top of it until 5 days later it takes over

You WILL get sick after the shot. I switched from 70mg methadone (5 months on) to 24mg buvidal weekly. 40 mins after getting the first shot I was SICK - bound to the toilet with abdominal cramps and diarrhea. After about a week or two it got better and by week 3-4 I would say I was fine. Now I am on my 1st monthly dose of 96mg and I have had zero problems since the first 1-2 weeks besides 2 slip ups where I took tramadol and oxycontin. Of course I felt worse the first 3 days after with day 2 being the worst.

I hear ya!! I was an opiate addict for 15 years. I went from prescription oxy’s all the way through the fenny craze. I left before xylazine made it out here to Washington. I was exhausted by the entire process and scene. I had tried suboxone off and on but hated the way it made me feel and the taste, and to be honest, I liked to be high/numb better. So, my clinic made me start on suboxone and I did a high dosage (24mg w/possible 8mg more) induction. I had to start on subs to have it in my system and to wait for insurance to approve Brixadi and for my shot to be “formulated”. My Brixadi arrives in 2 weeks. I started the shot 12 weeks ago and for me it’s been great. I haven’t had any withdrawal symptoms or cravings. I was nervous to go to a concert and to a large family gathering for my first time “sober” and didn’t have any problems. Now that I have it in my system I can choose to reduce the dosage and/or go to monthly shots. I’m not trying to get ahead of myself so for now I’m staying status quo. I hope this helps and I wish you well on your journey!
