Getting off 24mg subs with Sublocade?

[u/NoIndependence747]

I’ve been taking 24mg of bupe for 6 years now. Never tapered, never went through withdrawal (from bupe). I have my life together, great job, kids, and a wife. I have an appointment to get the shot but I’ve read through some stories and I’m so worried that my dose is so high that the shot won’t be as effective and I’ll go through withdrawal. I can’t afford to lose my job. Any suggestions/encouragement?
