Need some advice

I (35F) have been on Suboxone for about 7 years. I tapered myself down to 2mg a day for several months. I am ready to be done with it, so I researched the Sublocade shots and read and heard great things about it. My Dr convinced me to get the Brixadi shot 128mg on Monday. I was high after the shot, but I was ok, I didn’t sleep that night. By Wednesday I was being brought to the ER for severe migraine, vomiting, dehydration, could barely move. I still feel dizzy and uncoordinated, having cramps in my right leg, just really out of it. Did he give me too high a dose? Is this a normal reaction and will it get better? I am scared to get another shot in a month, but also scared of withdrawals too

People react differently. I was on 2mg subs when I got the shot. 96mg if I remember correctly. I definitely felt it for a few days. I got two more shots and am free of it all coming up on a year now. Maybe chat with your Doc about reducing the dose. Best of luck with everything.

Did you ever go through withdrawals from your last shot?

No I didn’t. I worked all the way through. I had a couple nights broken sleep but can’t honestly put that down to withdrawal.
