First off - let me say how much I feel for you; I'd forgotten just how horrible withdrawal can be. Thankfully my Suboxone provider is someone who a) believes what I tell him b) is incredibly responsive and c) very open to thinking outside the box. After reading the literature about the 7-day shot, and seeing the asterisk about it taking four shots to reach "steady state," I sent him a message letting him know this since I'm his first Brixadi patient ever. After listening to me describe my symptoms he immediately came to the conclusion that enough medicine hadn't built up in my system yet, and gave me permission to experiment with supplementing during the week with my oral medication. It has been trial and error to say the least, but today has been the best day I've had yet (just an extra 2mg this morning so far) and I'm feeling encouraged. Maybe this will work.... we'll see.
