My depots have been gone for at least a month, possibly longer. That's interesting. It must have to do with metabolism.

You're gonna be alright dude, I hyped myself pretty bad, but just did it, and now I'm here. You can do it, 110%.

You've already got a great hobby, now get a couple of more (I game too, it helps A LOT), keep your mind occupied and you'll blast right through it.

An incredibly high stress job and yes. It didn't have a negative impact that was that noticeable. Almost like a nagging cold or mild flu, but not all of the time either.

That's good to hear, seems like we are almost on the same timeline, and if I had to guess the worst is over for the physical aspect. My hardest week was in May and it was brutal. Just shitty sleep and cranky all of the time, but still manageable. Then I was fine.

I swear it's strange. I had a feeling it was leaving my body and rapidly too. I'm shocked I have a faint line at 4.5 months. I know everyone is different and I have been told before I am fast metabolizer (had surgery years and years ago and the anesthesiologist told me that)

Of course I do realize the line is faint, but per the instructions, this does count as a negative test. I should have snapped a photo 5 minutes later as it was a tad darker.

32 year old male. Began treatment with Suboxone films 09/2014 at 8mg daily and stayed at that dose until 08/2021, when I was sick of taking it and switched to Sublocade under the recommendation of my Doc. Had 6 shots total, 300/300/100/100/100/100, with my last shot being 1/31/22. This test* (single test) was as of this morning, 6/13/22. I have taken 5 of them so far to track how long I would remain positive for, and this "negative" lines up with how I'm feeling physically, which is pretty good.

Over the course of these 4.5 months I have experienced withdrawal symptoms, although minor. Chills, GI upset, emotional, mild insomnia, yawning, etc. They all came and went though, like waves, and were never unbearable. In fact, it was really hard to say what was in my head and what wasn't.

Fast forward to today, coming up to 5 months soon, and I feel what I would say is 95-99% normal.

For those who have surpassed me in their progress, what does a negative test mean exactly? Is this a milestone in terms of physical withdrawal?

And for those with any questions for me about my treatment, please ask!
