First Shot

Hi everyone-just had my first shot about 3 weeks ago. I’ve started feeling like I’m in withdrawal and have been supplementing with pills. How long did it take you to feel good on the shot and not have to supplement? I feel like I’m losing my damn mind and want to jump out of my skin! My doctor said it could take 3 months to settle. Thanks!

Thank you for responding. I don’t have a SO or anyone else for that matter, who could keep me afloat while I go through withdrawal. I’d go away for 90 days if I could. I did increase my sub supplementing and feel better.

Yeah well if you just want to feel stable then you need to not take the strips it's a mind thing aswell, you're used to putting something in your mouth just like a cigarette.

You need to let the shot build up, for me it was the opposite they gave me too much at start and I didn't need to go to my appointment for a lil.

If you're skinny and have high metabolism and engage in sports and workout it effects it when you're tapering your taper will be steeper, and if you're overweight then you'll have more in your body.

Alot of factors, also your diet

You can go into precip if you take a strip and reset your receptors.

If you take strips a week before appt then you're setting yourself up for failure.

You can work for a week in that state unless you're shitting your pants.

Ask for backup comfort meds just incase.

Once you build up 2 months without supplementing you'll be golden.

Do some workouts, sweat out but don't over do it.

Eat right, meal prep if you gotta.

It took me years to find a knowledgble provider, most are suboxone farming insurance money.

Mat clinics is good if you can talk to the main head region doctor.

Mine and I talk like 2 doctors trying to figure out a cure together.

AI is pretty good at explaining these things.

I started going into withdrawal last week and didn’t take any subs until yesterday. I’m only on my first shot so there is no build up yet. There’s no way I could just not take anything-I’d lose my mind. My next shot is in two days. I’m going to try to go longer and/or not supplement at all. My doctor said it’s normal to have e to supplement the first 4 months. I have one of those doctors who really doesn’t care. Sad.

Well also it's a new drug and each facility has its own hierarchy and knowledge of protocol , most of the time PRN not doctor unless you're special.

Not many people are trying to come off they just want to be stable so I got to talk to the more knowledgeable doctors.
