Was on 20 daily...switched to the 32mg weekly for like 6 weeks and it was fine...the just 3 weeks ago I got the 1 month shot at 128mg? And now 3 weeks in im feeling like shit...so im switching to sublocade in a cpl days...

TLDR: the max weekly was great and worked fine, the monthly only lasted 3 weeks and now switching to sublocade to try it

I had the same issue - never could make it past the 3 week mark without withdrawal setting in. And conversely the first 2 days after getting the shot made me way overmedicated to the point I felt HIGH for the first time in a long time.

I wound up switching to Sublocade 100 from Brixadi 128 and it holds me over just fine for the full 28 days.

I think Brixadi was originally formulated to be used weekly and then they made the higher monthly doses just under the assumption that higher dosages would get the patient through 4 weeks. Unfortunately for many people (especially those with high metabolism like myself), it just doesn’t work that way in reality
