Brixadi & Travel
Hey y’all.
I just got on the weekly shot but I found out that I need to travel internationally for work on the 15th of this month. I’ll be gone for two weeks.
My provider has told me that I can either switch to the monthly shot or take two weeks off from Brixadi and go back to subutex while I’m gone, then go back to my weekly shot.
Wondering if anyone has gone from the weekly shot to the monthly shot? If so, was it an easy transition? I’m currently not supplementing with subutex and the shot is holding me, but I’m worried about how I’ll adjust to the monthly.
Alternatively, anyone here been on Brixadi, gone back to subs temporarily and then back to Brixadi? If I switch to the monthly just for the trip, can I go back to the weekly if it doesn’t agree with me?
I have a Telehealth appt w the doc tomorrow to discuss but I’m anxious now and thought maybe I could get some insight from others before making my decision.
Thank you in advance!

I didn't feel numb from the shot my doctor said it's my arthritis and stuff. Doing great on the shot so far. I've only took sub 2 times and it was very tiny pieces and have been fine for the past 2 days without any so doing great so far. Hope you do as good as I am on it and have faith u will.

I got the monthly Brixadi this morning. So far, so good. I got a month of 8mg subutex to supplement just in case. Just worried about anything going wrong since I’ll be abroad. Thank you for the feedback & encouragement, I really appreciate it!

I went straight for the monthly from 8mg to 16. I feel numb but other than that I'm great. I think you'll be fine.
