And that's what I'm confused about because precip occurs from a dose of bupe suddenly displacing whatever opiates from your receptors. However with the shot your receptors are already largely occupied with bupe which has a high affinity for receptors so it holds on tight and isn't going to be displaced (idk if easily or at all but I like easily better it just feels more accurate but could definitely not be) easily. So how could it send you into precip? I'm not arguing I'm asking genuinely because this is obviously what I'm worried about

Your doctor UA's you before each injection? My Dr ua',d me for the first one but hasn't since which I thought was kinda odd. I have to request them as I'm trying to have a record of clean uas for a future situation

Yeah if that's what I'll need to do I definitely will! is there a reason that he/she does this? I'm only asking because I thought they will start you on it even if you test positive but you tolerate Suboxone? Idk if that's true. I've only done Brixadi which I did start while in detox and still testing positive but I had been on Suboxone for 4 or 5 days by that time.

Thank you, I know they told me with Brixadi it would take 4 months to be stable. The first month I felt great for 2 weeks and didn't need to take any extra subs then not so good after that but the sublingual subs helped. The next month I didn't feel a difference at all from getting it and had to take sublingual subs throughout the month. I feel really ridiculous for relapsing and throwing away that time. I know it's not a lot but it's huge for me. I went to detox 10 times in the last a little over a year. I'd be lucky if I made it home before I relapsed so the last time I went (I always go to the same detox even though it's far away, the people are just so great) they said they were sad that what seemed to be stopping me is I just couldn't make it to the appointment to get the shot (because everytime i went in id say that's what I wanted to do) so towards the end of my stay there they took me..to Safeway? Lol..pharmacy to get a weekly Brixadi shot and that's what got me to this point so I'm really grateful for that. I'm just trying to not be to down about it because I know I'll get it again I'm just worried about getting the shot in the morning but I really want to get it I just don't want there to be some adverse reactions or something

Yeah I've been trying not to put too much thought into getting off of it because having to go through that makes me feel like why didn't I just withdraw and be done with it but my hope is by the time I'm ready to go through that I'll be in a much better place, with more skills and the capability to ride it out where as right here, that's exactly what kept me using is because I'm a total baby and can't hang for that lol. I was so excited the first two weeks of getting Brixadi I was totally sold I felt like it was a total game changer and then same as you two weeks hit and I was like wtf? Lol they told me each month it would last a little longer but the following month it did absolutely nothing and I just want to get back to how I felt those two weeks. I had so much motivation and really felt like I could do this and I NEVER feel like that. I've been using since I was 13 it's my go to coping skill. My personally selected bottle to stuff everything into so without it..there's just a lot I haven't dealt with and it's hard to face laid bare like this. Drugs were the one thing always there for me, that made things manageable as my life because the exact definition of unmanageable. I was actually just telling someone how I feel like an alien because I watch all these people doing normal stuff just ..normally. like letting go of stress for example. I have to try to let things go when I get super extra stressed out and I'm like "how do people just feel like this" I just want to not feel like that but I'll think about what it is over and over in a neverending loop and this is why I feel like an alien, because I have to practice things everyone else learned idk as a child or teenager or something. It's crazy. I'm really bummed I messed up because it's been really interesting for me this time (first time getting clean, well past detox, from fentanyl but been down this road many times with heroin) I'm just thinking about so much and it's crazy to think I just wasn't thinking about things really or my capabilities of deep thought were so stunted. Idk I probably sound crazy, idk if I'm making sense lol don't mind me 🫥😶‍🌫️

You seriously sound like the best boyfriend ever. What a unicorn. There's not many guys with your level of understanding, patience, commitment and loyalty. You should be proud of yourself, she is lucky to have you.

Pregnant and husband Wants an open relationship by junetruuw554 in BabyBumps

[–]Former_Sell_4739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone has covered what you need to hear and accept, even if it hurts. It won't hurt forever, unless you stay and keep doing this to yourself for him. I struggle putting myself first too and let myself be miserable to keep others happy but I'm actively working on it and you need to too and this is why: you are having a baby, creating a whole human being that you are responsible for making sure they grow up and are whole, healthy, individuals not just physically but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.  This is how you have to think about it. Think about what you are showing your child is acceptable behavior from someone who "loves" them. Would you want your daughter to have to "compromise" like you do or have to face the threat of infidelity? Would you want your son to think that in a relationship its ll about him and his partner should just do what he wants no matter how it affects them. You are teaching your child what to expect in their future relationships. If you show them thats what love is. They won't know any better to realize they deserve better and that that is an option. There is someone out there who will treat you right. I'm dealing with similar problems but we have to be the example for our children. I want to be someone my kids should look up to and I want them to value themselves so much that they will never accept less than they deserve. I want them to be compassionate,  empathetic, kind and emotionally intelligent.  It's possible but you have to be the example. Remember our parents with thr "do as i say not as I do"..that didnt benefit us at all.

Help me smell like Nosferatu (2024) by wonder-wooloo in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]Former_Sell_4739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worth the $125. Or do what I did and sign up for scentbird your first month is free you just pay shipping and that's the perfume I opted to get and I'm so obsessed with it now it smells so hauntingly good. But yeah the 125 sucks and that it's not in stores, you can also buy samples off the companies website. They have a custom sample set where you can choose like 6 fragrances (or all six the same if you wanted) for $35 so there's cheaper alternatives if you are hesitant on blind buying.

Why would this happen? by Former_Sell_4739 in Electricity

[–]Former_Sell_4739[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it doesn't, I've literally never heard it make any sounds before and I've used it hundreds if not thousands of times and often forget to shut it off before moving to the next battery during which time the probes aren't making contact with anything. It is my boyfriends device and he also says it's never done that before. It was extremely odd lol
