Cravings while on the shot and what to do about it
Hey everyone. So for starters I had my 6th shot earlier this month. I’ve been on 128mg the whole time. The first few months I felt great. I had very minimal cravings and when I did have them, they came and went very quickly without any issues. I only had to supplement with strips during my first month.
Well over the last month or so, leading up to and after my 6th shot, I’ve been having some serious cravings. I commute through an area where there are a lot of active users and I have even picked up dope bags off the ground 2 or 3 times to see if there was anything scroungeable leftover in the bag (there wasn’t). I’ve seriously thought about hitting up my old plug “just for a bag or two”. I haven’t done it because I don’t want to go back to that life. Yet it feels like something is pulling me back in.
The thing is, I don’t know why this is happening. Work has been a bit more stressful than usual but not by a whole lot and I know it’s a temporary situation. I have also had a couple really bad days in general over the last month. Otherwise though, everything has been the same.
I haven’t told my doctor yet but I will next month. I’ll tell my therapist next week. I have plenty of strips to supplement with but I hate taking them so much.
Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have any suggestions or advice?
Thank you for reading.
