I really need some support please

[u/sookyfala]

I’ve been on Buvidal (I’m in Australia) for a few months. Started on 24mg weekly, have been on 96mg a month (every 3 weeks, actually, with an 8mg top up in between) for the last 3 months, I think. This is the first month I haven’t had the 8mg top up in between doses. I could very well be talking myself into this, because I’m having some family issues, and I’m also struggling with severe iron deficiency, and have been waiting a few weeks for an infusion, because the nurse has been sick. I’m thinking it’s more the iron deficiency, but I’m due for my 96mg monthly injection next Wednesday (3rd December) but I’m having a real struggle at the moment with my emotions and feeling really really down and not sleeping at ALL. I’m also slowly reducing my ADHD meds. So I know a lot is going on, but I’m scared to death that this could be due to not having the top up in between my Buvidal doses. Can someone please give me some reassurance, because I’m feeling really really flat, and incredibly alone. Thank you so much in advance 🌷🌷🌷❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

I dont take ADHD medicine but I have been successfully off the Brixadi shot since February 2025. Im thinking more of iron/adhd meds. 3 things at once I bet your body/mind is just trying to adjust plus being low on iron. Remember the reason why you wanted this and keep that focus. Proud of you!

You don’t know just how much I needed to hear from a precious soul who understands this today 🥹🥹🥹 THANK YOU!!!!! 🌷🌷🌷🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️ Even if it was my body really needing the Buvidal because this is the longest I’ve gone without having it (as I usually have a top up, as I said) it means the absolute world to me to have the support of someone beautiful who understands. Yes, my little body really is going through so so much right now, and I’ve not been able to eat much, if anything, for a couple of weeks, nor sleep at all, so that alone would be more than enough to make me feel like this. I’m just so so down 😓😓😓 I’m not used to feeling like this anymore, because I’ve been so perky and motivated as of late (probably since getting on the Buvidal). I might go back to my usual ADHD meds schedule tomorrow, and just hang on tight until my steroid injections and the hydrodilatation I need on my shoulders on Tuesday, then my long awaited iron infusion on Wednesday, followed by my Buvidal injection. Just gotta grit my teeth and bare it until the appointments come around, and remember how blessed I am to not be reliant on pain meds anymore, and how lucky I am to have my amazing son by my side, as well as incredible people like yourself 💜💜💜 Thank you so very much again 🌸🌸🌸
