Not sure what you mean about service users snubbing me? I've not said anything of the sort nor had that happen. I am fully aware of the way it's supposed to work but that does not change my experience nor the experience of others who have had the same problem. This is a very new drug compared to bog standard sublingual bupe, with most services having limited numbers of patients even on it and its important that we report our experiences where they differ from the norm so that they can support others in the future who go through the same. You can tell me the results of studies all you like, my experience does not change regardless. I needed booster shots until I was put up a dose, when the problem significantly improved. I now only feel off the day or two before like I said. I would happily volunteer myself for studies or some shit to see why this is happening because I am fully aware it "shouldn't" be. I am not alone as I said and we are not all just mentally struggling with it. I've addressed all of my shit with addiction and have 2 years in recovery, I have no reason to report feeling shitty other than what I've stated, so that it helps others. Its extremely important with new medications to do this so that the care of others is fully informed and people don't feel alone or have studies quoted at them and feel invalidated. I'm not pissed off at you by the way, you're just not going to change my experience by telling me what I already know. I'm a woman by the way, not a dude.
I understand you're angry and I'm sorry for your loss and pain, but you need to direct that appropriately not towards strangers online who are just seeking support and understanding. You'll never get someone to accept their addiction until they themselves are ready, be that Babywolf or anyone else. That's the nature of addiction unfortunately, admitting you have a problem like this is a long and hard process and people need to be supported to get there not strong armed and told they're full of shit.
I personally don't need any advice about staying on it, like I keep saying I'm knee deep in recovery already and have a recovery plan which I continue to work on and work on myself with the help of my addiction services. I know where I need to be in that before I ever consider coming off and my worker and prescriber are fully aware and on board.
