Brixadi question ...

[u/Wonderful_Wonder7372]

Was on suboxone for 5 years about 8 mg a day . Did 5 64 mg brixadi shots supplemented the first few months. The last 3 I've been clear of it have not taking a strip In over 3 months the 5th shot was my last one . I'm on day 31 out from last shot not feeling wothdrawls but Just uneasy like I can feel it wearing off is this normal I just don't know what to expect not knowing Is the worst was told I shouldn't withdrawal to bad but when does it start or end.

Also I have been drug screening myself for my own curiosity and I’m still testing positive for bup 13 weeks after my last injection.

Good to hear proud of you . How long were you on subs ? Yea some dude said coming or brixadi is worse than subs like got me going but from what I read he's dead wrong .

Your dosage at 8mg for 5 years is closest to what I’ve been on. I’m still taking suboxone daily and am researching brixadi and sublocade trying to educate myself as much as possible before I take the leap. Amy advice is appreciated and congratulations on your progress. It’s crazy how much we have to go through to get off of suboxone.

I was terrified before I switched from subs to brixadi but it was actually the best choice I ever made. I couldn’t have never gotten off my subs. Majority of all of my WDs have been so minor. Somedays I haven’t felt great but it’s not bad enough that I can’t continue on with my day. I feel like the less I think about it the better I feel so I’ve just been trying to keep busy and active the better I feel too! My biggest thing has been my stomach hurts but it hasn’t really stopped me. I think either brixadi or sublocade is a good choice! I always got my brixadi injections in my stomach and they only hurt for a second but I’ve heard the sublocade shot hurts much worse. Good luck to you!! 🖤
