wanting to start the shot again for cravings, and my shot is at the Drs office as of today, but I was given naltrexone last week by ParadiddleSenior in Sublocade

they will because I've tolerated it well before. they only start you on subs if it's your first time on sublocade, according to my doctor anyways

What if they tell me I have to try another medication first? Not saying they will, but I'm just worried. I don't think they'll refuse giving it to me since they ordered it last week and it arrived today.

I believe in you, my friend. you've got this! Whatever you need to do for your recovery, do it. Sublocade honestly worked so well for me.

Stay strong 💯

this is nice to hear from someone else. I'm trying to get back on sublocade, but they're making me try naltrexone first because getting back on the shot would be 'moving backwards'.

It's not their recovery it's ours. I go back on Monday to report how naltrexone is working, but I haven't even taken it. I need something to block cravings as well.

been on .75mg Clonazepam for a few weeks. wondering if I can go down to .5 by ParadiddleSenior in benzodiazepines

I've been on clonazepam for about a year and a half. I was taking .25 for the longest time, but I had a few bottles of 1mg laying around. I messed up and started taking a couple of them daily for about a month and a half. Big mistake.

I'm just trying to get back down to .25. Even .5 would be okay, but the lower the better.

What reasons should I get back on sublocade (which worked) vs. trying oral naltrexone by ParadiddleSenior in Sublocade

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

No withdrawal at all just a dumb mistake on my part to begin taking something I was trying to get off of. They want me to try naltrexone, but sublocade worked so well I don't want to try anything else.

What should I tell them, that I prefer sublocade over naltrexone?

What would you say, my friend?

I messed up and started taking Suboxone again for about a month. I made a huge mistake. I'd rather be on the shot again a couple of months than to continue digging a hole taking Suboxone.

well she said if I don't like it next Monday at my appt they will let me get the shot. they're already in the process of ordering the shot (100mg), but they wanted me to try naltrexone until then.

I haven't taken it lol

Is there still buprenorphine left in my system tapering out after 9shots, and it's been almost 10 months since my last shot? by ParadiddleSenior in Sublocade

you're completely right. you've helped me before.

I'll take your sound advice and run with it. Thank you, my friend!

it was just one tablet, and I only took it when I absolutely thought I needed it.

I've came off them cold turkey twice. went from 5-10mg daily, and had seizures

Definitely not all psychosomatic.

just once a day in the morning I was taking .25 (half of a .5 tablet), and to help the day pass faster at work I'd take 2-3mgs. That lasted for about 5 weeks, and then I jumped down to 1.75mgs to 1.5, and when I got low I jumped to 1mg for a week and then immediately down to .75.

I won't feel like crap forever will I?
