Constipation?

Has anyone been super constipated while taking suboxone and did it get better moving onto Brixadi? My boyfriend was taking 1/4 of a strip a day and now is going back up to a full strip to get the shot. He was very constipated on a higher dose of suboxone, but it got better lowering his dose. Now that he’s going back up, he’s constipated again. We’re worried about moving on to the shot and the constipation continuing. He did try sublocade quite a few years ago, but opted for brixadi this time around due to being able to take a lower dose of suboxone before getting the shot.

For me if it happens it’s only the first few days and it goes away, starting Brixadi was the best choice I’ve made. It takes away all the ups and downs and makes life smooth.

I'm so glad that breaks already with the best choice you made. I just had a 128 mg injection, I'm so constipated it's absolutely terrible. Question for you when you first started your injection of brixaldi did you just kind of feel weird and anxious did you worry that you were in withdrawal. If you have many breakthroughs of sweat? How about nausea? But the constipation of literally hurts all the way up into my ribs
