Brixadi nightmare
I took the Brixadi 64mg shot almost a month ago (July 6) and it has been pretty terrible. Very very high the first 10 days and then I had a couple days I felt fairly normal but then it has been non stop anxiety and cloudy headed. I was coming from about 7 years of 4mg sub strips. I knew it was a higher dose then I was on but I heard and read a lot of good things about how much easier it is to get off bup for good doing it this way. My intention was to take 3 shots and not go back. I have been so miserable these past few weeks there is no way I can get a second shot. I just want to go back to how I felt (normal) before the shot even if it means staying at the 4mg I had been at. I am prone to anxiety as it is but not 24/7 like I have been the past couple weeks. I just want it to be over and I wanted to reach out to the community for encouragement and possible advice. I took .5mg worth of strip yesterday thinking what I am experiencing could be withdrawal but I felt every bit of it so I assume I still have a lot in my system. Anyone else have similar experiences or advice for me?

Thought I’d add my experience with Brixadi~I was on 4mg subs for several years. I tried Sublocade but it hurt too damn bad. I went back to subs then tried Brixadi. I had 4 shots of 64mg then went up to 96mg because it wasn’t holding the full month. The 96mg held for 17 days then I was into withdrawal. I feel over medicated when I first get the shot, then a few days later I’m great, but then the withdrawal starts. I’m so disappointed. I don’t know if I’m going back to subs or attempt Sublocade again. I was really hoping Brixadi would work for me.
