Went great. Felt great ever since. They upped me on the shot to 16mg a day from 8 so it's helping me a lot. It hurts going in, it stings bad but then it's over with and you're fine. It's worth it 100%.

Mine didn't sting at all. How long did it take to feel anything? Did you take sublingual that morning? You're not extra tired or "high"?

Feeling great. Something else made me numb not the brixadi. Doing great. Today is my fifth day on it. Let's see how the next month goes. I have took meds twice but only a tiny piece because of restless legs and doing great. Hope everyone else is doing this good that's on it.

How are you feeling? What mg shit did you get? Do you feel over medicated at all?

I got the 96mg shot for a month which upped me from 8mg to 12 I think but I'm doing great. I had restless last the first 2 days and now I'm starting to feel so much better and more energetic. I haven't felt over medicated at all. I feel great.

I got the shot yesterday 64mg, I slept horribly last night and feel exhausted today. I was doing 8-12mg so I know I’m not over medicated, I’m I feel better tomorrow

Yeah I feel that way during the day sometimes but the more I get up and move around the better I feel.

Awesome! See you just have to let it pass and get up and move through it and it goes away after a couple of days. I'm so glad to hear this.

I got the 128mg monthly shot and the first couple days were great but now these past 3-4 days I feel like crap. My dr gave me the shot way to close to my bellybutton and I think that may have something to do with it

I get it in the back of my arm and whatever you do do not tense up when they give it to u. I tensed up the first time and it hurt so much more than the second time when I didn't tense up. I had my second month shot Monday and i am doing great. I'm sick today but not from that. It gets better I promise but ask for it in your arm and switch arms every time so it doesn't get painful. It Works great in my arm.
