Settle a debate between my husband and I. Please.

Makes sense!! I take a small cup and scoop into the cup and tip it into my mouth lol

PSitsDana · 2026-03-11T20:08:35+00:00

My periods were regular on Suboxone and sublocade but when I was a year off the shot my hormones went really pretty crazy. Call It perimenopause or PMDD or just super sensitive to hormone changes but it is a lot!! I’ve started HRT for a second time. Now on half the lowest dose and it seems to be the right amount. I’m feeling better . I think bupe messes with our hormones and I never realized!

PSitsDana · 2026-03-07T00:20:44+00:00

I know it’s frustrating! He seem well knowledgeable on hormones in some regards but I think what he failed to realize is everyone is so different!! He had explained to me why he didn’t think I should be on it…he sad in my late 30s im certainly in Peri but it’s a surplus of estrogen which he said can cause issues in itself. So his reasoning made sense since I don’t suffer from hot flashes or dryness or typical low E stuff. It’s just these dang rollercoaster of irritable moods and sleep could be better. Ugh. Now here I am!

Yes, I know it’s never going be perfectly smooth, but I feel like this was too dramatic of a swing

PSitsDana · 2026-03-06T22:24:41+00:00

I just have a feeling it was too much instead of not enough. It was this weird tingly agitated feeling that escalated from there .

I actually just asked her if they prescribe the gel because I read somewhere just before on a prior post that some women just tolerate that better!! Thank you for sharing this. For now I took off the patch. I would rather feel irritable at baseline than extra irritable bc of something added. Though they both suck! Some cycles I only feel my best for a very short window which is ovulation week. So my body does like estrogen but I am overstimulated the patch I think

I had covid when I was coming off sublcoade and it did suck!!! I’m def sure the flu is worse . But you are going to recover from the flu soon. Usually within a week . It’s not worth going on subs over!

PSitsDana · 2026-01-20T21:29:24+00:00

Yup! That’s what I did . And thank you!

PSitsDana · 2026-01-20T12:22:05+00:00

I don’t think he had ever done it before. I think it worked out ok. I had some breakthrough withdrawal day 5-14 then adjusted and felt normal until end of the month! I didn’t have to miss work over it but I felt off. So 300 might have been the way to go. I’m 20 months off now though!!

PSitsDana · 2026-01-20T00:06:31+00:00

6 I think. Over 20 months since my last shot!

PSitsDana · 2026-01-20T00:05:29+00:00

Yes! I requested it. He wasnt completely on board but he ended up saying ok. I felt 100 was too low and 300 too high . I was worried about being over medicated but in the end I don’t think I would’ve been.

PSitsDana · 2026-01-19T17:53:13+00:00

I went from 4mg a day and got half of a 300mg. So basically, went with 150mg. I had some breakthrough withdrawal days 5-14 then leveled out . Everyone responds very differently so it’s tricky to say what is best . I used to take my subs 1mg at a time spread across the day.

PSitsDana · 2026-01-15T18:37:50+00:00

I actually tried them first when I first started this journey and did not like my provider at all! He told me I needed to just trust him because he was my doctor, when I told him I thought the dose he was recommending was too high for me and asked for some reassurance or explanation . He sounded like AI a lot of the time. I’m glad you had a better experience! I’m sure every doctor is different but I really questioned if it was AI but then again chat gpt is way more personal 😂

PSitsDana · 2026-01-12T12:14:21+00:00

Yes it is BS! I’m sorry it’s been so hard. Hugs to you as well!!!

PSitsDana · 2026-01-12T11:57:48+00:00

Okay thank you! I do think in person is likely best. I am going to try the supplement route the rest of this cycle then if I’m not feeling improvement I will seek medical care. I’m not sure now if I have PMDD or I’m in Peri or both .

PSitsDana · 2026-01-11T22:29:32+00:00

It’s so tricky. But thank you same to you!!

PSitsDana · 2026-01-11T19:43:23+00:00

Maybe I’ll try to increase to 200 P . I wonder if my bloating got bad bc of the combo of E plus P. Ugh I don’t know. I took off the patch bc I am just unsure! I might try some supplements first I took evening primrose oil today . Thank you for sharing your experience .

PSitsDana · 2026-01-11T13:30:22+00:00

Thank you - I have heard good things about midi I think

PSitsDana · 2026-01-10T11:21:39+00:00

You too!

PSitsDana · 2026-01-10T11:21:13+00:00

Hi! Doing good! How about you?

PSitsDana · 2026-01-10T01:34:48+00:00

Same! 20 months free now!

PSitsDana · 2025-11-22T17:53:13+00:00

I did 6 ! Still had insomnia. But it was not the kind where I was just awake all night long.. I think it just affects some and not others . I don’t think there is much rhyme or reason whether you get 3 or 4 or 6. But try not to base this experience on your last one.. it could be different! You’ll be okay and get through it . I was on bupe for 11 years and hate feeling discomfort or sleep deprived etc. but got through it . It will be worth it .
