Sublocade freed me from opioid addiction

- If you are at rock bottom and feel like there is no hope, there is a drug called Sublocade that can help you get off of opioids and anti-opioids.
Sublocade freed me from opioid addiction and gave me the opportunity to find structure, routine and to get to know myself again.
This is my personal experience.
Seek medical help and advice from a professional doctor.

Thank you beautiful soul for sharing such an important message. I'm scheduled for my first Sublocade injection in two weeks. Best wishes on your recovery journey. To all addicts that still suffer, know that recovery happens. As long as there is life, there is hope. Namaste ❤
sublocade is buprenorphine
I've been on suboxone for a year my doctor just told me about the shot. I'm scheduled for next week. I can't wait. He also told me I could naturally detox that way too. I'm hoping it works for me and I will be free after the 30 days.
All I know is one shot worked for me and no desire has returned at all! I pray for you and that you can be free of that vicious cycle that holds us back from being our best!!! You can do it!! Still takes work but life takes work!! Every time someone tells me they are giving it a try it brings me joy!!
Can you please tell us what mg your one and only shot was?@@coriandkeliunleashed
As someone who took the Sublocade shot, I can testify that it works. With that said, I still had to do the work to understand what caused me feel why I need to self medicate myself, because drugs weren't my problem , they were my solution, and that was my problem. Thanks for making this video, and sharing your experience. For those who may still be struggling, please know their is help, and its so worth seeking that help, and your worth getting help.
@dalenewton8804 great post and I love hearing the successes people are having with this drug. What a huge blessing!! God bless you and I pray you continue moving forward and leaving that chapter of your life In the past!! Namaste
Thank you so very much for your contribution and compassion for the recovery community! Much love to you Brother!
You are so welcome
Welcome to the recovery family 🙏☮️♥️
Wonderful share Cori. This is exactly how you do it in my opinion. I’m an advocate for Alcoholism so I would like to share what helped and continues to help me when I slip (which is when the ones I love hurt me and won’t even make time for me) that’s what makes me break my 200 plus days or whatever.
I’ll post my premade text from when I hosted two meetings a day 7 days a week of AA for over 3 years now.
Love you and pray for me I’m still fighting so hard with so many physical challenges caused from it still. Life is a blessing and I’m so glad we can be of help to others.
I love you all. But I’m proud of you two. God Bless 🙌🏼💜🙏✌️
3 years on suboxone and I feel ya! I'm scheduling my injection date tomorrow.... Thank you, friend. Congrats on your sobriety & namaste
Congratulations!! It’s the best choice I ever made! Still takes work but makes the beginning so much easier. Some people have a hard time with the transition but it gets better if you want it!! Praying for you! Cori
just wondering if you got an update on your injection
@@hitmakere91 Yes I have an update … u received my first 300mg dose of Sublacade the day after my reply and have not had the first craving. My Dr gave the first 3 monthly doses of 300mg and my last shot of 100 mg was 2 weeks ago. Still have no WD of any kind. The hardest part of the entire process was defeating the habit of taking a pill daily. I highly recommend this treatment.
@@coriandkeliunleashed 4 months and still zero WD…. Loving life again
@@tamtam9531 isn’t it absolutely amazing!!! I wish every opioid addict could find it that really wants to change!!! I am so happy for you!
Thank you for your testimony!
This was incredibly awesome for me to listen to. You are so REAL, it brings tears to my eyes.
Thank you sweet soul. I'm hopefully going to have a shot of Buvidal, similar to sublicade. I'm so with you on your thoughts. I currently abuse dihydrocodeine prescribed by my G.P. You desperately want to help others. You selfless man. God bless you
❤xx
I'm with you on your thoughts. I've been on suboxone for two years. It saved my life..... but taking it is still dope behavior. You have to take something every day to be well. I got my 1st sublocade shot 3 weeks ago. I've broke that use something every day mentality. I feel good, and haven't thought about it since. Thank you for sharing your story. Stay well, God Bless
I’m supposed to get the shot this Friday! I’m so excited! I don’t wanna be on Subs anymore!!
I always tell people and I just mentioned this in one of my videos the other day, the harder the crash the heart of the recovery and that's why I have my channel and the name I have for it. Because I'm all about tapering but at the same time when it comes to the shot it tapers itself off so slowly let your brain doesn't crash and if you don't crash you will end up like yourself in this video not even realizing you're off of it and it's a beautiful feeling definitely proud of you brother❤
God bless you brother. Grateful for your sharing.
8 months ago i got a single shot and my suboxone nightmare was over. It truly is a miracle drug
The only prescription drug that helped my individuality twice for alcoholism was and is Librium. I only had to take two pills and day for 8-10 days. And did excelty what you explained for you. Did that for me and kept me sober until life and people let me down to the point of picking up again. I’m working on that.
Meeting people at gas stations is a huge thing for me to. Lol.
God Bless. And Hallelujah🙌🏼⭐️
God Bless my friend, good luck for the rest of your life..!
@tantawan6 thank you so much!!! Life is beautiful on the other side!!!
Thank you for your insight.
Thankyou brother!
So true. You feel disconnected to a higher power but I’ve also felt disconnected to people. It’s like people know I’m not 100% sober, or maybe it’s that I know and my eye contact is off. Also, pupils are probably like a pin needle. I got my one and only sublocade shot (100mg)- now about a month out. Been ready for this. Was going to do the Ibogaine (which I also feel is a gift from god) but a very expensive gift 😂. About 5-10K to go to Mexico. Still feel that’s a good route but sublocade is pretty dang cool. Can’t wait to get that confidence back and have my brain chemistry reset. God bless brother!
Sublocade is slow release suboxone given in a depot form and very effective.
respect bro god bless people like you i am stock right now
@bigpinky74 you don’t have to stay stuck!! I pray for you and all that feel stuck. You can do it if you reach out for help!! Much love! Cori
Buvidal saved my life. Best drug for opiate addicts
First of all congratulations! I had the same thing happen with the anti depressants.. it really sucks how they pressure you as an addict to be on medication while also diagnosing things such as bipolar. While detoxing I was diagnosed with bipolar and that medication was horrible. Since being sober for 4 years now and off the psych meds that still follows me around on my medical record and am treated horrible even after explaining I was in addiction while being diagnosed. It’s embarrassing and stigmatized . I am finally taking my first shot tomorrow .. nervous but excited.
Congratulations @ace1118 it has changed my life forever and I’m never looking back! I’d pay the 2k out of pocket if I had to. What’s that?!? A week I’m the streets?!? Best choice I ever made! Prayers going out for you and your recovery!
Love this comment because I explained that on my channel to people I say think about how much you were spending and coming up a day with and people say oh I can't afford to spend a week in rehab or I can't afford certain things and I say well if you were bringing up this much money every day for your habit and you're on verge of quitting if you actually want to then you definitely can come up with the money ❤@@coriandkeliunleashed
You are absolutely correct about fentanyl the seven for eight different analogs that could be in the street pills or powder or lipophilic, so it stores in all of your fat cells around your body and not just the receptors in your brain and stomach, so you might think you're clean off of the fentanyl but if you get the shot and end up having some side effects it's sporadic bits of fentanyl leaving your system being pushed out through precipitated withdrawal and a lot of people blame the shot for it but that is definitely not true so good job that you mention that❤
@AddictionRecoveryandTapering for sure and thank you! From what my dr has told me China or whoever is making it has manipulated it now so that it binds to your receptors and doesn’t let go for even a longer time. Drug warfare imho…it’s some serious chemistry manipulation. Pretty sad but Sublocade offers hope!!
I’ve been on it for the last 4-5 months took 2-300 mg shots in back to back months then I got my first 100 mg shot 3 months later, figuring I would wait a while to see if I could last that long and I felt fine now on the 100 a week ago I’m gonna wait a few months and either be done or get 1 last shot and be finished, great way to get off
(update )5 years on subs 4 years 12mg films I get my shot this week I'm so scared because I am the routine person I haven't felt god for awhile but I still go to church weekly I want to feel him again, I'm 33 now spent the last 10 years on chemical dependency I just can't do it anymore thank you for this it's helped a lot I pray God gives me the strength I need to do this I'm scared but it can't keep going like this love you all good luck with your recovery!
Update: day 28 since my first shot, one time I felt crappy for 20 mins or so, all I did was get the yawns, I was so worried cause I'm a worry wart but truly you have nothing to fear it's so nice to be free of the back of the mind constant subs subs subs I see light at the end of the tunnel and I have real hope for first time in a long time of being free of chemical dependency I have these moments of clarity since the shot of who I was before using anything and it is a good feeling Anyone who wants the hell of chemical dependency to end this is God's gift for you it works just want it! Good luck
@justinpoecefus7185 you can do this!!! Get that connection with a higher power and never give up!
#RESPECT
Ww need to do this informational stuff on the DL before the company stops the shot because so many people are getting off suboxone with sublocade..
So helpfull ❤
Amen! You did touch me! Everything you said was truth and exactly how I feel. Trying to quit subs brought me closer to God. The drs don’t want to give you the shot or let you know the shot is the only cure, that tapering doesn’t work. I have an appointment today and going to request the shot asap. And if they say no, I’ll go elsewhere.
A family member of mine was an addict, with the exact same story. This person took subs for 6 years. 2 months ago this person got (1) - 300 mg shot of sublocade and now this person is opiate free. All it took was 1 shot 300 mg and now this persons life is changed forever. This person was taking 2 mg of subs a day before taking the sublocade shot. It's TRUE. Sublocade will free you.
This video is where my family member got this idea from, so Thank You Brother for this Video!!!!!!!
Why did they get a 300mg shot if they were only taking 2mgs of sub a day? That is such a tiny dose that they should’ve only taken a 100mg shot. They had to of been high as a kite after that shot. Are you sure that sub mg is correct???
@@redpillyoass5894 yes. Correct it does send you into oblivion for the first hour after the shot. But it’s been four months now and no withdrawal symptoms.
I just need to comment I think it's great that you're sharing this video on your experience and you said over and over and over again just try supplicate but you have not shared how long you have been off of sublocade it's very important to know how long have you been off of supplicate when did you take the shot was it two weeks ago was it two months ago was it three months ago was it four months ago was it one year ago have no way of knowing so you need to share that information just trying to help you out I think it's a great video but you're leaving out some very important information so please how long have you actually gone since you took your one shot of supplicate, thank you very much brother God's blessings to you and I hope to hear something back, thank you very much!
@martinweaver4674 I responded somewhere on here to your question!
My buddy who got the sublocade shot did have a little bit easier of a physical detox, he went back to fentanyl and is now back on sublingual suboxone.
Thanks for sharing this eye - opening video!!!
Did 'ya go straight from fentanyl ( with a temporary suboxone induction ) to a sublocade injection ?
you have to take buprenorphine for at least a week before you can get sublocade
1 year clean from meth and heroin. I'm on sublocade now. i just dab daily and take my seroquel.
I did sublucade and after 8 months without the shot for some reason I went into full blown with drawl. Some say this was in my head but I went 4 days no sleep and all the rest. I do believe sublucade does work I don't know what happen but I go into today for my 2nd shot. I hope this time it's for good. Just don't think that just because you go along time that your addiction can't come back long term suboxone use does have some long term unknown things happen to you.
Thank you for sharing this. When you mentioned going to a convention, I assume it's AA/NA.. I'm in AA and on Suboxone. My insurance just approved the Sublocade injection so I'm going to schedule that asap. I feel connected spiritually to my Heavenly Father and it's because of that, I want to be totally abstinent. I bet I will feel more spiritually connected.. I am so grateful for Him and the program of Alcoholics Anonymous. Grateful to be blessed with this opportunity of a drug-free life.
Btw, I'm on Wellbutrin XL 300 mg (1/day) since May. So, in your opinion..... what should I do about that?
@nipster575 bring it up with your doctor. I know it’s more common than not with fentanyl but not as knowledgeable about subs.it was an NA convention. I go to both but find I feel more at home at NA. God bless you!! Sublocade can change your life!! I still love my group. All about the newcomer! I am so grateful for your message. Thanks!
Wellbutrin is also abused by a lot of people it is snorted and gives the similar effects of cocaine. Which is definitely not a good thing, also another random fact if you're on any form of buprenorphine the shot or the sublingual, and you take cocaine daily it minimizes well if it drops the levels of buprenorphine in your blood serum so you go into withdrawal a lot faster if you do cocaine while you're on can you form of buprenorphine
Great video !!!
Your pronunciation of " su BLOCK aid " is wonderfully unique !
( I can see how that pronunciation can help an addict 'remember' what to ask a doctor for -- when asking to get a new injection that an addict has never heard of before !!).
So, say, how many milligrams of suboxone were 'ya takin' ( pills ? strips ? ) before 'ya jumped off suboxone to get that wonderful life-altering injection of sublocade?
And -- hey -- how much time has passed for 'ya since 'ya received that one shot of sublocade?
@lucky I responded on badass1g post.
I’d like to know the answers to those questions too. Can’t find the post he’s talking about. Wish he would copy and paste it here and needs to actually pin it or put it in the description.
Can you copy and paste it? It would probably be good to pin a post with all that info because we need to know the details. Or copy and paste it in the description?? Can’t find the post you’re talking about. @@coriandkeliunleashed
Can you do an update vid how your doing now? I just got my first shot a month ago. I go back tomorrow for shot two. I’d love any and all info I can get from real people who’ve lived it. I just don’t trust drs anymore.
@Brooke Amber I was asked to do an update by Keli (my sister). I will do it when I feel inspired to. You requesting it has increased that desire to do so. Good luck with your shot!! It’s definitely the best thing I ever did! I pray it works for you!!
I started a month and a half ago. Had my second 300 mg shot and doing great. Suboxone for 17 years. But i dont believe docs are using sublocade to make money since i plan on being done with that doctor in two more months. Thats their goal too
Most people experience withdrawals from Sublocade. It’s just not as intense and you may not to experience the withdrawals for 12 to 18 months after your last shot.
How long do the withdrawals last and how bad are they?
TRT will bring you happiness now thats the next step brother
10 years on Suboxone almost 1 year at 4 mg.,now I'm on 2nd sublocade shot ,I wanna stop here but my doc rescheduled me for next week for my 3rd.i don't wanna go against him but I don't want a 3rd......not sure what to do.
@joet-sk4sw I would say get it! I know you just want to be done but you’re building a new life and breaking the habit…a little more time between the past wouldn’t hurt! I say pray and fast…our addict mind can be tricky!!
I'm proud of you but what I don't understand is the first month of the shot the levels literally go from peeking at 24 hours and the first week feels great and then the next 3 weeks kind of suck, I do have friends that got off using the shot but the thing is is they got two 300 mg shots and then a 100 and then got off but the first shot was always hard as they were going through withdrawal and the Baseline level was below what it was supposed to be in the first month
I never had withdrawals. I say do all three shots…
Does this stuff still have narcan in it so there is a waiting period until you can take it?
@Mack Winn yes you have to wait a few days before taking it.
@@coriandkeliunleashed yea, I've been off heroin for over 47 years....used methadone maintenance for about 2 years...high dose...slow detox....changed my life...then worked in the field for 15 years....
I just have a real problem visualizing most addicts waiting that 3 day period, in that the first money to come by, will be used for the simplest solution, a fix.....I understand the concern for blockading opiates, but on methadone a dose over 65 mgs will accomplish the same goal....I dont think kicking either one is way worse than the other....it just seems antithetical to servicing clients in such acute need, by telling them to wait 3 days whilst they are capable of paying for any relief, at that moment..even if the Suboxone was removed from the mix, it could make this treatment available to a wider range of patients...it would be nice for an addict to function without x3 per week visits to the clinic and x6 for the first 3 mos.
nice vid...just my take....best of luck...
I'm getting my first shot tomorrow, and worried about feeling overwhelming fatigue. Have you heard of that being a side effect? I've got a lot of stuff I *must* do this next month, including a daughter's wedding.
I’ve heard some people say they were tired but. Ot like the alternative. I wasn’t to my recollection.
I’m going to get one more shot on the 4th and I’m going to a year long discipleship program in Chicago. I left in the summer because I couldn’t handle the withdrawals. I want to be close to Jesus. I want to honor my Lord.
How many months out are you from your shot.
@@theway9828 I got it last September/October. Best choice I ever made!!
Can you tell us what mg shot you took and what was the date you had your shot? Also how many mg of Suboxone were you taking when you made the transition? Thanks
If I remember right it was 300…
@@coriandkeliunleashed ok cool and do you remember how long ago it was?
My clean date was way before the shot. I was only put on soboxone to make sure I wouldn’t have a negative reaction to Noloxone or whatever it is that’s in subs and subloc. I was just tired of fighting the obsession. From people I’ve talked to that are coming off of subs for years it takes a couple days of feeling a little rough but it goes away. My experience with soboxone is limited but everyone I know that makes the transition after years of being on it has given me positive feedback.
@@coriandkeliunleashed I agree completely and that’s my exact same experience. Sublocade broke the MAJOR addiction I had to needing something every single day just to feel normal. I’m really curious as to how long ago you got your sublocade injection? Thanks 👍
@badass1g and lucky, I have been hesitant to give dates but have been praying about it and feel good about sharing. My hesitancy is for other reasons, not the date and time that’s passed but I realize it doesn’t matter what anyone (people close to me) believe. I know my story. I got off the dope last april. April 26th to be precise. I did the whole cold turkey thing and ended up having a complete psychotic break from what I believe was toxicity from the Wellbutrin. Woke up in a hospital strapped to a bed.
I didn’t go straight to a dr. but started using strips to keep the obsession and cravings at bay. I’d take just 1/4 of an 8mg strip or sometimes more. Last September the Doctor put me on subutex for a week then soboxone pills for a week and then gave me the shot. So it has been a little less than 6 months since I got the bloc shot.
Thanks for listening and for the comments. Life is good and being free of fentanyl (which is all I think is out there) is something I never thought would happen. Prayers to all that are making the decision to take the shot!! Prayers to all that still suffer too! I will always live “one day at a time” but in all reality, who doesn’t?!? I have so much love for all that suffer with any type of addiction!! It all begins with getting honest and asking for help!! Thanks again for asking!
Cori someone I know just took their 300mg injection of sublocade and he doesn't want to take another one and he was stuck on all of those that you mentioned. Do you think he will be alright only taking one shot? He can't afford another one. He has the same mind set as you and he just wants to be finished with that life
I’ve read some people on Reddit say one shot was all they needed but I’ve been reading thru the comments and this guy in the video had to go back to subs because he had cravings and withdrawals so went in for two more shots so far. So he’s actually taken 3 shots and counting not just one and had to get back on a huge dosage of subs for 3 weeks.
How much suboxone were you on before, and how many mg was your single shot?
@pressf4896 I got the 300mg shot and then waited too long to get the follow up shot which I did. I had to start back on 8mg 3 times a day which is what I was on before. They made me take subutex again for 3 weeks before getting another shot. Was really a set back because I didn’t want to take the subs again. All I can say is if your doctor feels you should get a couple follow up shots maybe do it…the more time we have between our using days and Sublocade the better in my experience! God bless you! It’s such a wonderful route to go!!
@coriandkeliunleashed 24mg of suboxone a day is insane. Anything more than 4mg doesn't even do anything. Less is more with Suboxone that's what I've learned. Now I'm on .5mg a day and wanna get to 0.
Ya but it’s still an opiate. And the side effects are just horrible. 100% a bandaid. I have the option to go on the shot but I prefer to detox off subs with the strips taking a little less every couple weeks
I got the brixadi today but I wasn't trying to stop using. I do notice when I took a hit or two I didn't get high😮. I wanted to get high safely but now if it blocks the high ughhhhhh a bummer
I mean that comment kind of shouldn't even be posted on here, because why would you get a shot form of this medication just to keep trying to get high? You get it once a month now if you were taking sublingual strips you can wait for 32 hours or 24 hours until your doses start to leave your system and then obviously get high again but the shot is literally not something that you seemingly are looking for so, in fact if you're just taking buprenorphine just to keep withdrawals away You're risking precipitated withdrawal and that sucks because I've been through that 17 times traumatize you and hurt your brain in ways you can't imagine
Thanks buddy....i hope it's available in india...m on 0.4 mg of buprenorphine 2 times a day ..m tired of this 😢
About to get my 6th, and it is a God thing….but it is legit….100%!!!
Hey I got my second shot about 20 days ago . I still substitute a little bit with subs 8mg . Did u feel 100% by your 3rd shot ? Can u elaborate on your journey thanks. I wonder if I need more than 2 shots I got 2 300s so far
Why would you want to get off of your wellbutrin first? My counselor told me the exact opposite.
I’m not a doctor Corey so this is only my experience. For me, the Wellbutrin was making me extremely manic. I haven’t taken Wellbutrin in over a year and feel happier than I’ve felt for most of my life. God bless you and your recovery no matter what process works for you!!
What was the milligrams of your shot and how are you doing now?
@kennykimg4980 I took a 300 mg shot. I am going to do a follow up video because I’ve had the same question by many people. As mentioned in the video I am not a doctor and only have the knowledge I’ve gained through my own experience. I ended up getting two more shots. To get the shot again I had to take subutex again for 2 weeks so that was kind of a setback. For me personally, I just needed more time. I know it’s different for everyone. One shot works for some and some people need more time. Sublocade gives us all such a better chance! Thanks for the question! If it’s something you’re thinking about doing seek a professional that’s licensed to give the shot and go from there! Go to any lengths!! God bless!!
May I ask how long it has been since your last shot?@@coriandkeliunleashed
How many mgs was your one and only shot. I didn’t hear you say.
I mean realistically if you're over 8 mg a day for a month you can get the shot in any form of milligrams so even if, and I know people that were on literally 35 mg which is an insane dose a day for many many years, they got the shot and got off as well with no issues. It has nothing to do with what you're on milligram wise it has to do with the slow tapering process and the pharmacokinetics of the formulation
My doc gave me 300mg, I think that was too high for the dose I’ve been taking for the last year, but I figured I’ll just take it that way the levels can build up in my system. My plan is to get off. I was down to 0.25 mg until about two to three weeks ago I started raising my dose for the shot.
Yes, way too high. You should’ve got 100mg or even less or they should’ve had you raise your levels with subs first. I got down to .25 as well and jumped thinking I would be safe abs able to quit since it was such a low amount but I soon went into hellish withdrawals for a full year. The withdrawals were so bad, I almost died. The only thing that saved me and ended the suffering was getting back on subs so please get the shot and don’t think you can jump at .25 if you’ve used for years because I’m proof you can’t. I’m getting the shot and if my clinic says no because they are a bunch of jerks, then I’ll go elsewhere.
@@redpillyoass5894 yes it was way too high 😵💫🥴. Those were some rough months. But I got through it. I ended up doing two 300mg shots and 4-100 mg shots. I took my last 100mg shot almost 5 months ago 💪🎊 (In exactly 14 days it will be 5 months). I’ve been really struggling, but it’s definitely nothing like Suboxone withdrawals. About two months ago I started struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, ocd/adhd like symptoms. I’m also dealing with pain issues and possibly blood pressure. I think a lot of it is from my job, but I didn’t use to feel these things as much or could push through it better. There is a lot to the story, but I’ve been sticking with it regardless of issues and never could do that On the subs. I do take a couple hits of some ganj every day, but It is not an issue for me at all. Overall It’s so much easier, but for me personally definitely struggling mentally, but that’s because I have a lot of things that I should have fixed or changed in my life and didn’t, so now I’m just feeling what was always there, but I was covering up. Good luck for when you get the shot.
Are you still off the shot?
Can you sleep on sublocade? Been on Mdone for years.
@tonymalony4382 I can.
I tapered off subs and almost died. I was bedridden for one full year. I was in and out of the hospital, weekly Dr visits, ambulances having to come get me since I couldn’t get out of bed. Losing 22lbs every two weeks. Nothing helped me, nothing took the edge off. I wanted to end my life but instead of doing that to my family and instead of suffering and rotting in that bed anymore, I began using subs again. I’m so sick of them. They’ve rotted my perfect teeth, my body is destroyed from being stuck in a bed for a year and from this toxic evil poison. It’s ruined my life and my family and dog’s life. I’m tired of it and I want the shot but the clinic I go to doesn’t even tell you about it. I have an appointment today and am going to demand it or I’ll go elsewhere and get it. They want permanent patients so they don’t want to give the shot and less and less drs are going to offer it due to the fact they’ll lose their forever patient.
Did you have sleeping problems when it wore off?
@roblockhart8410 I know many people In recovery that do struggle with sleeping problems. The thing that’s worked for me is working the steps, especially step 10+11. After I pray and get into bed I continue praying and meditating until I’m asleep. Prayer and meditation helps my mind slow down. I do have my nights where sleep doesn’t come easy but I think that’s just life. I know sleep disorders are real and it’s a common problem. Ill keep you in my prayers! Cori
Yeah I was kind of referring the the insomnia that comes with opiate withdrawal. Sounds like you escaped without any symptoms! Congratulations. Yeah I’ve been on Suboxone for 6 years and going to try the sublocade to come off. I’m not in a position where I can take a bunch of time off due to withdrawal’s so really hoping this works out.
@@roblockhart8410how many mg of subs before the shot and what dose did you start at with shot? Any issues? Thank you
How many shots should I get before I try to fully quit ?
@scottpound411 as much time as you need to get structure in your life! I’m back on it. Just give it time to distance ourselves from that other life! It’s worth it! You’re worth it!
May I ask why you are back on? Last comment I read, you said you had been 10 months clean. Now it’s just 2 months ago you’re back on. Can you please explain and make an update video because unless someone reads all these comments, they are gonna think you just took the one and were healed. Please update or write a pinned post so people know you had to go back and why. @@coriandkeliunleashed
@@coriandkeliunleashedoh you're back on it now?
@@SAMEntalhealth I needed more time to distance myself and “taper@ off…once wasn’t enough for the 39 years of abuse.
@@coriandkeliunleashed I understand brother trust me I went through it myself so I completely understand I'm still proud of you
I’ve been on subs for 10 years if it’s quietly cost me so much happiness and miss opportunities. And the worst thing about it is that nobody knows I’m still on it. My family thinks I’m clean, but I’m not hot man I’m hurting constantly because I know I’m addicted to this shit drug.
I just want to stop taking suboxone. I feel like it does numb my feelings and my physical body. I want freedom at this point.
That is, if your insurance doesn’t already cover it! Check that first if you do have insurance!
Sounds very hopeful. But there is no silver bullet. However you take Suboxone, however you taper off, there is a huge difference between extremely minuscule amounts of Suboxone and zero. And that difference is 2-3 weeks of intense withdrawal symptoms and months of insomnia, shaking hands, irritability, depression and extreme fatigue. I got off it but it was tough.
Did you take the shot?
@@kennyking4980
No. Is it really so different than tapering off?
I have addressed this question In some responses that others asked the same thing. I will do a follow up soon! I promise! It has been a couple months since I got a shot. The first time I got one shot and after 3 months I started having cravings so I went back to get another shot and the Dr made me start over which means I had to get back on subutex for 3 weeks before they would give me another shot. 3 weeks of 8mg every 8 hours. It got me loaded more than anything else ever has. Once I got round two in me I went 5 weeks and got one more shot. That was about 3 months ago now. No detox, no cravings. I believe its getting close to being out of me completely. MI can still feel a tiny lump where I got the shot. So, from my own experience, I wish I would’ve gone back and gotten a second or third shot without the break In between because getting back on subutex for 3 weeks made everyone question my clean time but that’s all between me and God. I’m some of our videos during that time you can tell I was on something…8 mg subutex will do the job when you haven’t had any opiates in you for a long time. So since I first started I’m not sure how long it’s been. I’ll figure it out and write down some info so I have my dates right! Thanks for the feedback! Life is wonderful today!so grateful I went that route! It has saved my life!!
You only had one shot total?
@HalfwayJac I went back and got another! 30 years of use didn’t give me enough time to adjust. Many people get one shot and it works. I say just do it until life gets structure and a person. Am build distance from the past. We talk about it in a later video called relapse in recovery.
@@coriandkeliunleashed how long did you wait in between shots?
The first time I waited a few months so the doctor made me start over on soboxone to get it back in my system. Three shots is plenty for me. They say 6. Do whatever it takes! It’s all about breaking that habit of hand to mouth or to nose or vein or whatever method/habit needs broken.
@@coriandkeliunleashed I unfortunately am having insurance issues and can only get one. Did you have any withdrawal symptoms after the first one?
@@coriandkeliunleashedgood for you man. I finally got my first shot 2weeks ago and I love it. However, it may have to be my only one because the clinic I went to keeps jerking me around. I’m wondering if 1 shot will be enough to keep me from going into withdrawal. How many weeks after the first one did you go into withdrawal?
25000 $ for one shot?I work for 500 euro for one month and pay monthly 75 euro for Subutex.That is to much money for my country Serbia 25000 $ but i think we don't have sublokade.I every week sold 7 tablets of 2mg and 4 tablets 8 mg for 50 euro of my therapy and rest i use and earned 125 euro every month.I have prescribed 20mg for day 2x8mg and 2x2mg or every week i get 2 box of 8mg and 2 box of 2mg and in box you have 7 tablets.If sublokade come to my country with that high price i never can found 25000$.In my town you can buy apartment for that money.
And Subutex or buprenophin save my life,i am a single father my son is 18 years old now and i am working and training,have a life.2018 first time i get buprenophin and that change my life.I sold one piece of my therapy friend because he works in hospital and he cant go to neurologist and psiholog and ask for Subutex because you must to be 7 days in hospital when doctors find how much you need mg of Subutex. Tapering my doctor never asks me if i want that to try.2015 buprenophin come to my country but people still love more to be on methadone therapy because it is free and works always get high.
Sorry for my bad spelling
SubLOCKade?
@sunshine2502 you’re not the first to point that out!! Lol…it’s how I first heard it and it stuck.
@@coriandkeliunleashed lol I just thought it was funny. No biggie
As someone who made the transition from Suboxone to Subllocade, a 100% agree with what he is saying! It's a lifesaver! It's a game changer! It just makes you feel normal. It is a gel ball that goes under the skin. And it does hurt like the dickens! My old physician would do a Novocaine track, which made their be no pain. My current doctor doesn't offer it, so it does sting! I've noticed since we have halved the dose, the pain is far less! But none of that matters because this is a life-changing medication
Why on earth would a physician NOT offer Lidocaine or Novocaine beforehand? That seems needlessly cruel.
@@mjohnson9187 That's what I thought but I don't know if it's too expensive or what but it was definitely much easier with it. I will say since I've halved The dose, it's much more tolerable!
I'm so annoyed,my health insurance won't cover the shot .It will cover everything else ,just not the shot !
and that's what I need !!
Ya cause they want you taking drugs they can make money off. Once you get clean you aren't a cash cow anymore.
Sublucade fixed my issue but it came back a year later and my insurance kept denying me and I kept on having the doctor resubmit it until the gave in,I told them there taking away my only hope.ive been on suboxone for 13 years and sublucade for 4 months but for some reason after 8 months I'm here again why.i don't know what happen but I do believe it's the fix for me permanently
I wanted to add the pharmacy and insurance was trying to block me until I blew up because I take blame for taking pills but it was the doctors the pharmacy and insurance that all to blame with this opiates problem and we all have to fix this including them that is the biggest to blame for this addiction crap
@@mikehunt4797 yea it sucks !! I'm one step Away from finally getting off this medication,then "bam ' huge roadblock ! They talk about this huge opioid epidemic , yet you can't get the proper medications you need, when they are available.. unless you want to pay $2,000 out of pocket for a shot !
Respectfully
I'm going next week for my third shot I'm going to do a total of four I can't wait to be done with addiction I did this three years ago and was clean but started taking kratom like a idiot I'm not messing up this time no way in hell
Dude get to the F ing point.
