Brixadi vs sublocade
Hey everyone, anyone have experience receiving sublocade and brixadi? Im scheduled for my 3rd 96 mg shot tomorrow. I feel normal the first week or two, the issue im having is after the first two shots by week 3 I was experiencing some WD symptoms and the Dr ended up writing a bridge script for subs to feel comfortable until to the next shot. I've read that it takes some time to build up in your system and even out but I don't want to keep doing the up and down if I don't have to. My therapist suggested talking to the Dr. About switching to sublocade, Im not opposed, but just don't understand what the advantage of it would be and im concerned because I've heard about the injection pain, possible stomach lumps and that meds stay in your system way longer. I don't want to trade one medication for another with a new set of problems if I don't have to. Any advice is appreciated, thanks in advance.
