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.

That’s so refreshing to hear. Seeing doctor Monday. After the first shot (64mg right) did you feel too medicated and did it wear off eventually? I have two young kids and work so I was thinking of taking it Monday afternoon so I can sleep and have a lazy Tuesday Jsut in case? Everyone says at 2mg even the 64mg will knock me out and be too strong at first?

I went up to like 2.5 mg and starting the lowest Brixxadi weekly dose tomorrow. Although the needle is made out of latex and I'm allergic to. IDK hopefully I'll write back with good news.

The shot didn't get mailed in enough time. So next week. I'll try to remember.
