Well, it?s the new kid on the block and I have already picked a fight! I am a 15 year opiate addict that has spent at least 8 of those years battling Suboxone. No matter what I do I just can not keep from over taking my subs. I have gotten it under control much better in the past 6 months, and I have not been swapping between opiates and Suboxone every month. My doc has really been working with me by trying to get my dose adjusted and as long as I am at least close, he has been filling early scripts because he knows it?s either that or I?m gonna relapse. I was at the point of being scared of not only losing family and job but also life. I started with the new Sublocade injection yesterday and it was a great day. Today is day 2 and I feel fantastic. I have spent years being either over medicated or under medicated and in some stage of withdrawal. I am serious about my recovery and know I need this medication right now in order to get into better life habits and get settled down a lot. I have lost 3 friends this year to opiates and I refuse to join them. I woke up this morning feeling great finally, no over medicated headache, and no rush to take my meds to start my day, just normal. My wife is already happy and super supportive. I have had Bluelighters save me a few times and if I can help 1 person in crisis then I will be happy. Stay tuned for my journey with Sublocade...oh and by the way, YES, the injection is painful. Just imagine pouring lighter fluid in your abdomen and then setting it on fire and that?s it. It goes away just as quickly but that was at least my experience...good luck everybody
