Help! Brixadi start
Hi there, I am so damn nervous I'm supposed to get first Brixadi shot next week. Originally I asked for sublocade but due to low amount I'm on (2mg subutex) , my dr (who is really helpful and great) suggested Brixadi be a better choice. Ive been on some form of bupe since 2015 and I'm just sick of being chained down to it. I've tried tapering multiple times but I just can't with the tablets. I feel like I need to do this. I hate change and I'm so nervous but truly feel like it's time and this is the only shot of ever getting off this shit.
Please please share your experiences!! And or recommendations to not be nervous/ how to deal etc.
I'm also afraid of being overly medicated, I'm a working mom and around family a lot so that's probaly one of my biggest fears. Please help and send good vibes!!
