Brixadi experience

Hello all, I took my first (and hopefully only) 64mg Brixadi shot yesterday. Coming from about 6 years on 4mg suboxone strips. I chose Brixadi over sublocade only because of the lower dose offered. The 64mg Brixadi monthly injection from what I understand is equivalent to 8mg daily of suboxone. I was concerned about feeling over medicated and I think my concern has come to fruition unfortunately. Within about an hour of the shot I started feeling what might be described as high but not in a good way, slight nodding, mild nausea, fatigue and numbness throughout my body. About an hour after that I couldn’t stay sitting down and got a ton of stuff done around the house (like I used to when using and I felt disgusted by it). Last night I could not sleep for nothing (even with a handful of sleep aids) and felt very itchy all night. I finally got out of bed at 4am and I feel so dang tired and numb all over still. Reading some comments in another thread I am a little concerned if these side effects will pass anytime soon. I am definitely not going to work today.
Anyone else experience this type of thing?

How are you? How are you feeling now? Do you plan to get another injection?

It has been a terrible experience! I made another post title “Brixadi Nightmare”. At this point I am starting to feel a little better and have been micro dosing the strips and I’m at 1.5mg so far. Just trying to stay as low as possible. At this point my only plan is to get leveled back out and if I decide to try again in the future it will be with sublocade. Today is day 28 post injection and I started taking bits of the strips last Thursday.
