r/Brixadi

Hey everyone! Brief brief backstory, I had a one and done Brixadi shot about 65 days ago. I’ve been on Subs for 7 years and had tapered to 5mg before the injection.

The last few weeks I’ve been struggling with fatigue and restless legs/body. I took 1mg of Suboxone a few days ago, which gave me a decent 24 hour break and expected the symptoms to return to normal. Instead, after about 48 hours I started experiencing the worst restlessness, chills, and sweats all night long. I got that “fear” feeling that sometime comes with those too (for me at least). This is the first time I’ve used Suboxone since getting the shot.

I wouldn’t call it full blown withdrawal but certainly halfway there. Has anyone else experienced this, if so, do you think it’s to do with the sublingual I took or have I just hit a new level with the withdrawals? Previously I had mostly low-level symptoms like heavy body, lack of motivation, sleepy, etc. Hoping this will pass quickly!

Thanks for any input. Also, bonus points for any recommendations on activities or OTC stuff that helped you with the restless legs please!!

Hi everyone-just had my first shot about 3 weeks ago. I’ve started feeling like I’m in withdrawal and have been supplementing with pills. How long did it take you to feel good on the shot and not have to supplement? I feel like I’m losing my damn mind and want to jump out of my skin! My doctor said it could take 3 months to settle. Thanks!

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.
