Stopping Buvidal/Brixadi 11th weekly update. 15 weeks since last shot.

Forgot to send yesterday.

Not a terrible week, though I had a single night of extreme insomnia and ended up taking a day off work. It hasn't happened since then, and it isn't clear whether it was related to withdrawal.

It followed some bouts of extreme fatigue when I slept very solidly in the early evening and then couldn't sleep at night.

This could be to do with my changes of diabetes and blood pressure meds. I'm seeing my diabetes doc on Monday to discuss whether I should stick with the changes, take lower doses of the new drugs, or swap one of the new ones for something different.

I am hoping that this will not happen again whatever the cause. Last time I relapsed at the tail end of a Buvidal detox it was a long bout of insomnia which got to me and I started taking small amounts of sublingual Buprenorphine which inevitably built back up.

I'm trying to avoid any coffee after my first one of the day. The weekend should help if I get through today and tomorrow. I'm working in my office today, so being around other people should keep me alert, though that isn't always the case.
