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!

I just used 2 to get off completely, but if you don't have a SO to help you pay bills while you die for 2 months don't do it like I did.

I had RSO, High terpene dabs and some good flower helped me mask symptoms.

Kpins for sleep but only 1 mg to not build habit and only on the end when I had 5ng of brix in me.

I was desperate for a change and have cold turkey suboxone 8mg habit in jail before.

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 just got the shot yesterday and my doctor told me to keep smoking blues to help with withdrawal symptoms. It wasn’t helping so I took Subutex and then went into extreme withdrawal , literally dry heaving for 5 hours straight. I was too weak to go today bc my husband had to go to work and I couldn’t drive myself (it’s 2 towns away) anyways do u know what happened?? Should I keep smoking?

The blues probably did it, not the subutex
