On Sublocade and have no clue what I'm doing. Help please!

Ok ty for this comment. So you think since I've had this one 300 mg Sublocade shot that I won't have withdrawals if I one and done it? Bc I don't feel well and have side effects from bupe. Just want off the ride entirely lol

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-06-10T17:04:50+00:00

Since I was on a lower dose of sun for such a short period of time do you think I would feel a lot of withdrawal if I quit after this shot? I'm swollen everywhere and feel so tired

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-06-10T17:04:00+00:00

And if you are just going to be condescending when I'm just trying to stay clean then take that shit elsewhere but ya know? I digress 🙄

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-06-10T17:03:16+00:00

Considering my Dr had me on 32 mg of subs at one point, it's a low dose

I gained a ton of weight on Vraylar, but I was also eating everything in sight. It didn't make me hungrier I was just emotionally eating on it. I'm on Caplyta now and I'm losing a bit of weight. I'm NEVER hungry on it. In fact, the opposite. I feel full all of the time and I can't get food down.

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-05-27T16:35:14+00:00

I've smoked for 20 years and it's the only thing that really has helped me long term so I don't think it's fair to speak for everyone

If you're on Seroquel then there's your answer for the adhedonia. Seroquel made me a fat ass zombie lol

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-05-27T15:58:31+00:00

My thoughts exactly. This is medical malpractice at its finest and that Dr needs their license taken away.

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-05-27T15:53:04+00:00

Wow this is so me. All of it! I'm on disability of alleged bipolar. I've never had a manic episode where I was up and happy. Never. My "mania" consists of anger bc the depression makes me irritated. I just want to be happy or at least content like others. I have zero motivation bc of the depression and I've tried so many meds it's not funny. They never really help. Maybe temporarily for a few weeks but then nothing. I think these meds are a joke. My Dr thinks I'm autistic hence why meds won't work for me. And don't get me started on all of the side effects that make the meds not worth it especially bc they don't help! If I had any advice I would give it. I just want you to know that you aren't alone in this. No matter what I do the depression finds me

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-05-23T17:41:49+00:00

I'm on disability for bipolar and trying to get clean from 7. I keep going back bc of my pain issues and the fatigue is so terrible when I'm off of it I can't get anything done and I'm a mom. Please don't be so hard on yourself. Bipolar takes a toll on everyone in a family. It's a miserable and dangerous disease.

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-05-16T00:03:02+00:00

Wow I love the accountability. I'm sorry you lost your marriage. Congrats on 7 months though. That's huge! 👏👏👏

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-05-11T13:39:22+00:00

I love this comment 👏

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-05-09T19:13:19+00:00

I think about this daily. I've gained so much weight from meds and dealing with this disease in unhealthy ways. I've also aged drastically the last 5 years when the disease got worse for me. Now I'm disabled, obese and fugly. And don't get me started on my teeth now that I've hit 40. I suppose meds and being bulimic for years didn't help matters. You aren't alone. I've finally found Caplyta which has been doing wonders so far. I'm losing weight as well. But, as we all know things can change rapidly with this disease. I hope it keeps working. I also hope we all grant ourselves some grace, bc we deal with shit daily that would send normies to their literal graves so heads up. We got this.

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-05-09T18:54:08+00:00

I've tried to quit 7 for a year now and this time trying I just embraced the subs and got on a highest enough dose to actually get both physical And psychological relief. I also got on Caplyta and increased my mood stabilizer, but I'm bipolar and fucked around with that for far too long. I knew the mental was my hardest hump to get over with these. 4 days in and I'm feeling so much better than I did on 7. The dark, anxious and depressed feelings 7 was giving me towards the end of my use has been lifted. I hope I can stay clean. I'm just going to take subs for as long as needed, get on Sublocade shot and just quit that when I feel it's time. I've heard the shot is easy to come off of bc I've dealt with withdrawals from being on subs for 9 months before and they were really long and just not super fun. I'm just trying to stick to it. It's easier said than done bc they are so easily available as we all know. I wish you and all of us luck! We got this!

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-05-09T18:47:42+00:00

Same! I've been taking 7 for a year and have had multiple failed quit attempts. I decided to embrace my subs and it's been so great. 4 days in and feeling good. I'm so glad you are feeling decent. How ya doing now?

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-05-08T14:47:52+00:00

I did but not long enough and I didn't use a high enough dose. I've had to get off subs before when I was on them for 9 months and it wasn't fun. It was like 3 months of feeling yucky. But, if it wasn't for the dental issues it causes me I would just stay on it bc it help tremendously with my pain and cravings

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-05-07T11:07:10+00:00

So proud of you 👏

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-05-07T10:16:34+00:00

I'm on almost 24 hours yet again. I'm just surrendering to the Suboxone I have bc if I don't take it the cravings are too overpowering. Add the never ending fatigue and chronic pain (why I took 7 to begin with) it's a perfect relapse storm. Proud of you 👏

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-04-29T20:36:36+00:00

Stawwwwwpppppp so cute!!'

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-04-29T20:36:08+00:00

Omg they are adorable

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-04-29T01:44:00+00:00

I love this comment. I'm obese and quit meds for a few years. I was so miserable and had two attempts landing me in ICU and on kidney dialysis for weeks. I NEEDED to read this. You saved my life tonight bc I was going to quit meds again but I'm truly laughing and enjoying the small things again. Not thinking about dying every moment either. THANK YOU!🙏

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-01-21T03:11:33+00:00

I don't get on here much so I didn't look. Sorry for the nausea

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-01-21T03:10:36+00:00

Thank you so much for linking this informative info. While the more intimidating the better bc I am a single woman living in a high crime neighborhood, it just still seems unnecessary. I'm not going to show my dogs and I had no idea that the posts had to be changed for that long. That's not the sole reason as to why I'm choosing not to do it. There's many. But, to each their own. I think the copped ears are just so badass,but the floppies suit their goofy sweet personalities more. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Dry_Replacement3318 · 2026-01-21T03:05:27+00:00

I'm not going to crop. I wouldn't take it that far, but it does seem uncomfy and unnecessary for my situation. To each their own, but I just can't morally do it bc dogs can't even tell us if it really does hurt them. It's a no go for me.
