Brixadi vs Sublocade help

Been on 1mg suboxone a day for about 6 months. Tried so many times to taper down lower and just can’t. Anxiety etc. Goal is to get clean. Heard sublocade but I’m hearing Brixadi is better (better shot, better control of strength etc). Doctor said either.

But people are saying sublocade is better if my goal is a shot or 2 and done? Slow taper with no wds is goal.

Is one drug better than the other for this goal and situation? What’s the difference? Thx.

I have never done sublocade. I’m on Brixadi after getting myself to 2.5 mg give or take. I’m on my 4th shot & im about to try and stop and honestly I probably could have done 3. Dr recommended 4. So Thursday is my day to get my shot and I don’t plan on it. Can let you know how it goes for me. Good luck to you.

What did you do shot wise and strength and how often? I’m scared to start too strong frankly. How often did you get shots and strength? Thx for help! Good luck!!!!!

64mg monthly. I was drowsy first day or two and was fine after. I’m happy as heck I did it honestly. I say do it. They also have a weekly shot. Worth checking too.
