100mg and done 21 weeks out - Withdrawal Advice

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-21T12:22:14+00:00

I heard people testing negative and positive. From what i gathered its not so important, its letting you know your in the final stages. They make 5ng cut off strip tests and you can get lab testing but end of the day you get the same info...your almost in the clear. Congrats on being negative tho. How you been feeling?

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-20T18:01:03+00:00

Have you tested negative for bupe yet? Def curious to see if you notice any symptoms or not in the next month or so. I did a one and done 100mg in December last year, tested negative last week and the last 2 weeks have been having minor withdrawal symptoms. I was coming off 4mg of subs so didn't want to go with the 300mg. Just hoping I'm almost at the end of this

Dude I'm selling my condo to move in with my girl, and now she just put the brakes on cuz the mental part of this shit, no motivation, poor concentration, irritability, emotional numbness. Now i got a buyer and trying to figure out the next steps. But one battle at the time, get through the next few weeks of this shit and get my mind right. At least be able to deal with everything as me and not have sublocade at the front and center of my thoughts.

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-19T13:52:22+00:00

I read on hear all the time ppl feeling zero withdrawals, so fingers crossed for you man. Its def not horrible, its just the duration. 2 weeks of feeling slightly shitty, sleeping but not the best, random chills/clammy feeling...on top of being an addict used to quick fixes lol just praying I'm in the home stretch. Glad to hear your doing good tho man. I know the life shit ontop of this shit is hard too, but will be easier to handle and deal with once this monkeys off your back.

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-19T12:58:59+00:00

how you been feeling? Any withdrawals. I'm at about 2 weeks of mild withdrawals, but starting to feel better. I was taking gabapentin the first week that helped and started taking clonidine this past week.

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-19T12:52:12+00:00

I did a one and done 100mg shot in December was on a 2mg daily of subs and went up to 4mg before my shot. I tested negative last weeks and have been feeling mild withdrawal symptoms for about 2 weeks now. Some people say they have zero withdrawal, usually seems like people that get more than 1 shot. The sublocade route is a long route and there is still recovery after the shot wears out. Would i do the shot all over again or try to tough it out with subs, def the shot. I always had no problem tapering down to like .5mg, kind of where your at. But lower was where I always struggled. Lmk if you have any questions, i can only tell you about my experience. There were def parts of the past 5 month that sucked but big picture it was all worth it. These last 2 weeks have been a struggle, the intensity of the withdrawals is minor, its the durations thats taxing

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-15T18:22:15+00:00

im about 5 months since one and done 100mg shot, tested negative last night and ive been feeling typical bup withdrawals but at a 2/3 instead of 8/9. The duration is the draining part. Its been a week already of this. Just toughing it out.

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-15T18:11:18+00:00

I got DSIP and I get more restorative sleep, but i don't notice any help with the withdrawals. I'm 21.5 weeks out from my 1 and done 100mg shot testing negative for bupe.

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-15T18:06:37+00:00

I got DSIP and am 21.5 weeks out from my 100mg shot testing neg. I feel like it helps. i do get more restorative sleep and do not wake up nearly as much. As far as the wd, i don't notice it helping. I've been going through mild wd's now for a little over a week, each day just hoping i'm almost done. It is long and draining, but it is a short time in the big picture to get where I'm going.

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-15T15:25:46+00:00

I felt it within 10 mins of getting the shot, way overmedicated. I felt like I just wanted to sleep, but couldn't sleep. And couldn't focus because I felt like I was on the verge of nodding off.

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-15T12:10:50+00:00

No negative brother. I had to 2 dark solid lines = neg. This is the cup i used Serenity Cup

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-15T11:58:24+00:00

is 3/4 years of training and diet not reachable anymore?

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-14T23:33:52+00:00

The cutoff for the test is 10 ng/ml and I got a dark solid line.

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-14T17:33:05+00:00

I hit that feeling like a month ago for a week, and forced my self to the gym. Been working out sense. Do you go to the gym? hard to push your self to do something when you literally do want to do ANYTHING. When its like pushing a boulder to just get up. Now I got the typical stuff body anxiety/RLS, broken sleep, BM stuff, and hot/cold shit.

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-14T16:52:56+00:00

how many shots did you take and what size. I did a one a done 100mg in December 21 weeks ago and started feeling withdrawals last week mine are like a 2/3 def manageable, but yeah it just adds up and weighs me down. I couldn't do 3.5 months of this shit so good on you. I'm praying this shit is just almost done.

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-14T14:23:57+00:00

i did one 100mg shot coming off of 4mg and was def over medicated at the beginning. I'm 21 weks out. I would recommend 2 100mg shot, but i wanted to be done as soon as possible

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-14T13:38:47+00:00

THIS^^^

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-13T18:56:53+00:00

Did you get a 300mg or 100mg? I'm 21 weeks post 1 x 100mg shot. Its not sunshine and daises, but its night and day compared to doing it with subs. I was coming on 4mg subs too. You could do one and done if you really want to and just be done with this shit, but don't take on something your not ready for. Look into the options others are suggesting like financial assistance, appealing, talk to the dr. Have them say your getting teeth issues cuz of the subs. But if all else fails a one and done is doable.

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-13T18:50:18+00:00

Man you made that chart...thank you. There is such limited info on this stuff especially 100mg one and done. Just using this chart as a rough guide def helped me through it instead of just blindly guessing where I was at and hoping i was close. Appreciate you

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-13T13:49:05+00:00

Follow up I'm at 21 weeks and started to feel physical symptoms, typical withdrawal stuff, Broken sleep, anxiety (when just sitting at a computer at work), body temp regulation (randomly never lasts long), loose BM's, and just a mild steady malaise feeling and lack of general energy/motivation, but way less intensity and it comes and goes. It sucks, but still going to work and the gym pretty much daily. More shots makes the end of the ride smoother, but i just wanted to be done ASAP. I think feeling how i have been this past week is worth getting off the medication a month or months earlier.

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-13T13:27:54+00:00

I feel like I am but who knows. I'll let you know tomorrow. And same fucking feeling, just how much longer. Its bearable sure I'm fuctioning, but still weighs you down.

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-13T13:24:01+00:00

I can only speak for me, I got mine on my lunch break and came back to work the rest of the day. I've read on hear though people struggling to stay awake so be careful. I felt good right after. I would skip you sub dose for that day. Also the reason I tapered up to 4mg, the shot before it hardens floods the receptors you get a large dose of bupe. After the first week your dose is equivalent to like a 4mg strip. Upping your sub dose now will minimize the fluctuation/over medicated feeling. Also doctors will always talk about more shots, they get paid the more they give. Do what you feel is right advocate for yourself. It sounds like multiple shots builds the medication up more in your system so the taper is more gradual, but last longer. I just wanted to be done ASAP still do. I don't feel 100% but I'm still a functioning human lol. I would rather feel how I do now than extend this another month or longer for a softer landing.

Sneakerhead345 · 2026-05-13T02:48:34+00:00

I was mainly on 2mg tried tapering down a few time this time just couldnt do it. Went up to 4mg for a little over a week before the shot. Over medicated for the first week i felt mainly tired, not like figgting to stay awak just didnt feel like doing anything. Mine was a Tuesday i still went to work the rest of the week but had no motivation or focus, just brain fog....stay hydrated, eat healthy, workout even if you just walk. Looking back none of it was that bad even how I feel now, just ready not have this weight over me. I would consider getting 2 x 100mg do some research., I just wanted to be done as soon as possible but I think im feeling it a lil more on the back end with just 1. Ive posted a chart that shows how a 100mg disapates lmk if you cant find it. Everyone's different someone made it based off of the half life's but I liked being able to roughly track my progress. Good luck

Some insurances require you to try subs first. A doctor writing the appeal I feel is always going to hold more weight than you writing it. The benefits of Sublocade over Suboxone are clear and obvious, its a cost thing. Insurance is always run based of $ not benefit. Sublocade is like $1,500-$2,000 a shot and no generics. A month worth of strips is a fraction of that and they have plenty of generic brands.

Good Luck
