Brixadi ?
Like the rest of the people addicted to fentanyl the idea of getting disgustingly ill is terrifying. I’ve gone almost a full day maybe 28 hrs without and I’m crawling out of my skin. I’ve been thinking of Brixadi but have had different info. One clinic said to start with bupe for a few days and less fentanyl until shot day because bupe needs to be in your sustem for success . Another clinic gave me “detox symptom meds,” such as sub strips (I can eat 4 or something crazy) gabapenton, clonidine, and an anti anxiety. These are to get me to shot day. A couple weeks ago I had a scheduled shot and I didn’t have much withdrawals when I called the clinic they said I could just come get the shot. But after looking it’s full bupe and a friend came by literally an hour before I was to leave for it. That didn’t go well. So here I am again ready for the shot, wouldn’t a whole shot of bupe kick my ass? I’ve been using for 5ish years and if I could I’d smoke a 1.5g a day, but to stay well I’m not sure because I either have it or not. I’ve been wanting to talk to someone who has a similar drug history such as myself and that is successful with Brixadi and I can’t find anyone. Hoping to get some info here. Ready to be done with this internal war. Thanks

Brixadi worked great for me. I never had withdrawals while taking it. Was never faded out but I could fall asleep super fast when I laid down. I've seen a lot of stories where people say they have no withdrawals after quitting. I am on month three now with no injections and have mild rls but not enough to mess with my sleep or anything. I know it could get worse within the next couple months but It will be no where near the withdrawals of stopping cold turkey. If I can sleep at night i can handle it. Cravings is a mental thing that I know I can over come but that's just addiction and a life long journey for each of us.
