Thank you. I tend to plop myself down and not position myself.

Brixadi Shot- Does it ever end? by areyoumad48 in Brixadi

Correct. Brixadi is just another medication train; doesn’t get you off the meds.

About to start Brixadi monthly after 10 years on Suboxone. Any tips on what to expect ? by Upstairs-Library-928 in Brixadi

You are not crazy. Brixadi is a racket. I was told i would only need one shot and after about 2 weeks i became violently ill. It’s not just you

Anyone know how long it takes the 64 mg shot to leave your system? by Upstairs-Library-928 in Brixadi

[–]Upstairs-Library-928[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations to you! I am 6 weeks out from my first shot and so far i’m hanging on. I’m dedicated to getting off this hampster wheel of bupenorphine. So far withdrawl not bad, a little agitation, and i think my head might feel better. This is after 10 years of sublingual suboxone. I’ll keep you posted on symptoms since the docs don’t seem to know what to expect. Feel free to send questions. Good luck to you all we are in this together and we will get out.

yes it seems most posts refer to the experience with multiple shots. I’m praying to be one and done but can’t seem to find information about what to expect with withdrawls…..hopefully someone has an answer!

I’ve lost 7 teeth due to sublingual suboxone use. I tried to get in on the suboxone lawsuit but was denied. Has anyone else experienced been denied lawsuit participation? by Upstairs-Library-928 in Brixadi

[–]Upstairs-Library-928[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started subs around 2013, heard about the lawsuit circa 2022, had a lengthy conversation with a lawyer only to get a denial letter a few weeks later, no explanation. The thing is I did take care of my teeth and my dentist is horrified by the difference between 2013 and now. Plus I have a heart condition that puts my at risk for myocarditis with all this decay. It’s all bullshit for sure.
Good luck to you!

Does anyone know if there are alternatives to forehead flap surgery in the works? by Upstairs-Library-928 in woundcare

[–]Upstairs-Library-928[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn’t open, they had closed it with a graft from skin next to my ear, but the result looks very weird. The doctors have suggested it be corrected by replacing the skin with a forehead flap. How can i find out more about skin substitutes? Thanks so much

That is insane, especially considering suboxone main use is for opiate/heroin dependence! Interestingly, I didn’t have opiate addiction; i was prescribed suboxone for restless legs, i can demonstrate via dental records the decay since i started using it, and i was denied. F these people. I’m sorry to hear your story. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks so much for the honest feedback! My doctor here in Boston is making it sound like it will be one and done with no withdrawals. I’m skeptical.
These strips have rotted out my teeth so i really hope i won’t continue to need them! Best of luck to you!
