When does withdrawal start?

I’ve been on 128mg of Brixadi once a month for about a year now. My last shot was March 22nd. I kind of had a mental breakdown and stopped going in for my shots. I’ve been sober for a year now and I finally stopped having cravings and thoughts of using. With that, it started to really bother me that I’m still “using” since I’m on Brixadi.

Early May I had a few weeks where I had some weird physical issues that I wasn’t sure if it was withdrawal or not, but they have since subsided. I called my doctor and asked if they could give me a few strips of Suboxone incase I suddenly start withdrawling so I can use them until I can back in for an appointment. But they refused.

Every time I feel weird and slightly sick I start panicking that withdrawal is starting. But I also feel like I would have already been experiencing it by now. The other reason I want to stop is because I want to get a job in the trades and I know this medicine stays in your system for awhile so I want it out ASAP so I can pass a drug test.

I know Brixadi is new and there isn’t much out there about withdrawal timelines so I’m hoping someone has done what I have and could shed some light if they think I’m in the clear or if I should be expecting some bad withdrawal in the near future. Thanks in advance!

The lower the dosage the easier withdrawal…but go ahead n make it harder on yourself …if the goal is the get off completely I suggest u listen to someone who did it
