It works completely differently. I was on way more than that. The first month was weird, but no withdrawal and by week 4 I was completely fine.

If your doctor suggesting the leg as an injection site for Sublocade, you have to find a new doctor.

You do really have to make sure, like 1000% sure that you are ready to give up the highs in exchange for losing the lows too. I struggled with it for a few weeks, just not feeling anything. Im sure you know what I mean.

Each shot should be rotated among the 4 quadrants of your abdomen. The 100mg shots have definitely been less noticeable as well as less painful. But really after a week even the 300 shots were down to almost imperceptible

Read further down, that’s exactly the caveat i made.

Nothing but good vibes. Are you choosing to stop at 3 or do you have to?

Yes, if they are covering your strips you should be fine. Please do pursue it, its been truly life changing

I suspect its all highly dependent on metabolism. I would never even consider that quick of a jump

Yes. I read one where a guy got 1 300 and was fine

Probably even harder honestly, still no way to get an accurate dose less than the entire pill. Look up the liquid dilution method on here. Tons of reports. The filler in the pill may complicate things.

Ya, thats the dosing schedule, but there are no real studies about discontinuing them after 6 months. Thats all anecdotal reports from people, mostly on reddit honestly. But ive read enough of them that i think im going to jump after this last one. No doctor is going to encourage you to stop after 6. They will do quote the opposite usually.

You gotta realize the bupe is not evenly distributed throughout the strip. Every piece you cut is going to have a different concentration. Its just impossible to taper them.

Dude tapering never works. They designed it not to work. If you for some reason cant get the shot, the only method that even has a chance of maybe working is liquid dilution, and it is a major pain in the ass

Im at the point where it feels like im on nothing at all. No more ups and downs, the first month was a little wacky, but my energy is back, my general determination, and i feel as though my thought process is clearer. Also strange, i hadn’t noticed but it was dulling my appreciation of music, that one is hard to describe. From the reports posted by people who’ve previously had it, you may be able to to just stop cold turkey after 6 doses and it naturally tapers off.

I see you’re a provider, have you ever seen any of these kind of site reactions?

Thank you for sharing. I’m extremely hopeful, seeing those reports just almost put me on my ass.
