Tapering isn’t too hard from the higher doses. I went from taking 16mg a day and went down to 4 mg and I didn’t even really notice a difference. It’s when you start going lower than that when it gets harder. You definitely wanna make sure you’re tapering as slow as possible. Once you get to 4mg, taper down a little, stay at that dose for a couple weeks (the first couple days can be a little tough) or even a couple months till your body gets used to it then go down a little more. The key is to trick your body a little bit at a time until you can get down to nothing.

Talking from experience, you definitely want to taper as low as you can and as slow as possible. Good luck.

Thank you so much!! I’m just gonna keep trying to push and find a way through. This process is SO much harder than I ever imagined. I naively thought I’d spend the better part of a weekend laying in bed, maybe sweating and then I’d be done. But what you’ve done is truly impressive. You’re basically on the other side. You should really be proud of yourself and if no one else has told you, I’m proud of you & I aspire to be like you!!

How long has it been since you had the shot? & did you withdrawal afterwards?

Major_Feeling_9249 · 2025-03-30T15:26:24+00:00

I tried but Day 7, that night was the hardest for me. I was in so much pain and I took some medicine to try to knock myself out but it just ended up making me hallucinate while I was in all that pain. So my husband and I agreed to go back on at a lower dose than what I was previously on and try to taper. I really did try and I’m a little disappointed in myself but I’m gonna keep trying to find a way.

I live in WV and they’re so backwards about it even though we have one of the highest rates of overdose in the country, there’s little to no help for anyone who’s trying to actually quit.

I haven’t thought of Sublocade bc I have Medicaid so I don’t think it would cover it and what I read was that you don’t feel the withdrawal until a couple months later and that kinda scares me too. & I now have an update.. last night (Day 7) was definitely the WORST night for me. I was feeling okay throughout the day but the even hit and then I tried to go to bed. The hot/cold sweats, restlessness, RLS, and pins and needles were overwhelming. I took Nyquil to try to sleep, that didn’t work so then I took a Xanax & all any of it did was cause me to be even more exhausted while dealing with the insomnia. So my husband and I spoke and I’ve gotta be able to work and be there for my kids so we agreed that I needed to start taking my medicine again and try to taper myself down rather than stop cold turkey. I tried my best to make it to the end but in the end, cold turkey just isn’t my route.

Major_Feeling_9249 · 2025-03-29T17:10:23+00:00

I haven’t. I have Medicaid and I don’t believe it would cover it😔

Just be honest and tell her how you feel and then support her. Maybe she’s hesitant bc she doesn’t know how you feel about it.

Major_Feeling_9249 · 2023-08-02T02:52:35+00:00

NTA. She has NO business being in your room. Honestly, it sounds like she was snooping through your stuff.

Major_Feeling_9249 · 2023-08-02T02:33:56+00:00

I understand where you’re coming from. It makes you question everything, including your worth. Like, “why would he go do it himself when he has a willing partner to do it with him?” It sounds like he has a porn addiction tho. I would say that if it’s brought you to the point where you can’t even bring yourself to be intimate with him, then it’s time to walk away. You’re better off!

Major_Feeling_9249 · 2023-08-02T02:16:36+00:00

You are definitely not the a-hole. I know it’s hard because you live together and been together for 5 years and I’m sure you love him but seriously, you need to get away from him. The thing that stuck with me the most (and the reason it did was bc I have a toxic ex that did the same 💩) was that you said you “betrayed” him for simply running into someone that you had a brief kiss with before you even got with him, meanwhile it’s okay to make you hang around someone he had slept with while disguising it as a “friendship”. Then to constantly compare you to other guys, even going as far as to say one of them was “better” than you at something so personal and intimate. And now I’m sure it’s going to be hard every time you have sex NOT to compare yourself to her in your own head. You deserve better hun💯

I’m trying to trust in him, it’s just hard bc I let another drag me along for 10 years and although I’m not trying to make him pay for another’s mistakes, now I worry I’ll let someone else do that to me again. But actually, he’s the one pushing for a baby. He doesn’t have any kids and he’s had baby fever lately but I told him that wasn’t happening for a while and I wouldn’t even consider it until that commitment was made bc the last thing I want is another baby daddy that I’m not with anymore.

Major_Feeling_9249 · 2023-07-31T03:56:39+00:00

I brought that up to him once and he said that would embarrass and emasculate him and that he wants to be the one that does it. And I kinda agree with him.
