if your on .5 mg of suboxone a day can you switch to sublacade?
They might want to bump your dose up to bring you down. What state you in? I know a doc that will give you 100 mg one time
That's where I'm at right now and have been for years. .5mg a day. Hopefully only need one 100mg shot to get off
Thank you for explaining why my doc is asking me to go up to 8mg from 1 mg before 1st sublocade shot next month. Id rather stay on 1mg and switch but hey, i got myself into this so I need to shutup & listen
Hey brother good to see another sublocade video from you! I enjoyed our collab video we did a while back. For those considering sublocade I went from 4 mg daily subs to 150 mg first shot.
Second shot 100 mg at 4 weeks
Third shot 100 mg at 5 weeks
Fourth shot 100 mg at 6 weeks
Fifth shot 75 mg at 8 weeks
6th shot will be 75 mg at 9 weeks (currently at 8 weeks today since my last 75 mg shot). This will be 600 mg total taken over about 9 months. With every shot you learn to trust sublocade more and more amd I find once you’re passed the steady state you can space the doses out with no problem (due to the 45-60 day half life) but some dr’s will not allow this. For many people the first month will be the most challenging, then when you get second shot you’re much better off since you still have more then half of the first shot left at that time. I truly believe if I was to stay on sublocade as maintenance that I could do 100 mg once every 3 months and be totally fine. What a Great alternative from dosing orally twice per day every day for many years! So many people on my channel have already made the switch to sublocade and most of them love the new found freedom. Wishing anyone the best of luck!
Great info. I would have stopped after the 4th shot altogether.
@@KenStarrMDWellnessGroup I think it’s my OCD brain overthinking it all. That plus I’m not having to pay for any of it thankfully. And for whatever reason my dr has wanted me to do 6 shots. I figured if he’s cool with me spacing out the doses and also lowering the dose I’m ok with it. Otherwise I felt like it was stacking to much if I went every month. Hope you’re doing well! 👍
@@kickinaddiction how does the shot make you feel when you get it? & another question if you were taking 4mg wouldn't taking all those shots be giving you way more; making your tolerance alot higher? Making it harder to come off? Sorry for all the questions & stuff just trying to get a better understanding & do you have insurance? Is this shot Expensive or what
Yeah when do you plan on stopping bro?
For you to even be talking about staying on this though...that right there scares me
Good video!
I’ve been on the sublacade injection 300mg for 4 years now will I ever be able to come off or am I stuck on it for the rest of my life feeling alone in the whole thing need someone to talk to in similar situation will life ever go back before the terrible events that led to long term treatment please advice
Stop getting 300. You need to taper off get 3 more 100mg and then get a 100 3 months after. Then wait another 3 months and ask the doctor to only inject half of the 100mg
I was on 300 every month. I tried 100 mg I I started having cravings. So they kept me at 300.
Same here I’ve been on 300mg for 4 years
Hey so i was on 4mg suboxone for a couple months after tapering down from 8 mg. My doctor gave me a 100mg sublocade shot a week ago and he said that the only shot i will need. Does this seem right? Right now i feel a little bit of withdrawl symptoms but just yawning, anxiety, and peeing a lot. Sleeping fine but just worried that i feel like this only 1 week in and how the next few weeks are going to go.
i went straight from a gram a day heroin habit to getting a 300mg shot of sublocade after 12 hrs no use of heroin and had horrific withdrawls for 2 days, well im on day 2 and in my desperation shot nearly half a gram of heroin and i feel ok, not high just ok so im not sure if the sub shot is finally working or the heroin did something, but im pretty sure the naloxone stopped the H from doing anything. should i have been on sub strips before the sublocade shot?
I'm on 4 mg subboxanne once In the morning. I just switched from 8 mg daily. Seem to be doing OK, little tired other than that fine. I go to the gym everyday and work out. I want to make sure I have the information correct to switch to sublocade. Should I try the 100 mg sunlocade, wait 4 weeks and do another 100 mg shot then stop all together? Or do I need to keep getting the 100 mg shots? I don't have insurance and thats why I am concerned, I can afford the 1st two shots.
I'm on 3 mg. And I am wondering the same thing
I've been on 300 for six months now... I'm planning on doing 100 next month and be done
How have you felt during these months? & will there be any withdrawal when your done?
Thats my plan as well. 8 years on 3xday and we decided to stay on 300mg for atleast 6 months and then go down to 150mg
@@MrAkaprimetime I have felt anxious more then usual but not to the point that I feel sick.
@@allelite330is that all of the symptoms of withdrawal you hsvr experienced since getting off
Ive been on about .5mg a day for a couple years. Could one 100mg shot get me sober?
i was on 4mg suboxone and just got a 100mg shot a week ago. My doctor says i wont need another shot which kind of scares me but i feel ok right now just a little bit of yawning, cold flashes, and peeing a lot. If this is the worst i will feel then ill get through it. If youre only on 0.5mg then 1 100mg shot should work good for you id say but ask your doctor.
@@PuresDen Some people are saying .5 is too low to get the shot. But .5 might as well be 4mg it's still hard af
i have a question, i am on my 2nd sublocade shot 300mg (i maintenanced 16mg-24mg back n forth for 2 almost 3 years) & i ordered another 300mg & also a 100mg, what would you suggest? should i take another month 300mg, and then 2 100mgs? or just get them to only do 100mg. i get it by friday & need some advice. im kinda nervous about dropping down due to the WD i form 5-7 days after the shot, i usually take 600mg-1200mg gabapentin (depending on how bad the WD feels) & it usually passes within the hour. maybe i should just do what my body thinks it needs & then ill be okay? i dont know & the anxiety is destroying me
After your second 300mg shot, you can step down to 100mg. No problem.
How's everything going with you what did you end up doing ?
4 months sublocade free & couldnt be happier. Absolute 0 WD@@MrAkaprimetime
I've been on tex for 8 years. 3 a day. We decided to stay on 300mg for at least 6 months due to my 3rd month at 150 not working out too well. Stay on it bro it only gets better
@@mcalli8272 im already 4 months off now, no withdrawals at all.
SUBSCRIBED! THANK YOU FOR HELPING US! **QUESTION: Will this work for someone coming off Benzo's or Gabapentin? The withdrawals from these drugs, even with micro tapering, are long lasting and horrific as well.
I just received my 2nd sublocade injection this morning (300mg). After the 2nd week of the first injection, I started experiencing withdrawal symptoms and cravings.. Fortunately, my physician did supplement with 2mg films a day until today. Dr., you've said that the first shot doesn't work that well for everyone.. have you heard anyone say that they've experienced withdrawal symptoms after their 2nd (300mg) injection? I don't want to go through that again.. if so I will have to switch back to the 8mg films 2× daily, and I really don't want to do that. Thank you in advance, Dr.
Bless your heart.❤
The first month is always the hardest. Your body is trying to adjust to the slow steady release of bupe vs the oral doses which provide highs and lows each day. Many can mistake the lack of feeling their dose as them being in wd. Not saying that’s what happened here but it’s possible. Once you get your second shot you’ll be doing much better since you’ll still have more then 150 mg from your first shot still in your when you get the next 300 dose. Don’t let the little devil make a problem that really isn’t there. Unless yours getting the runs, or restless legs then you’re most likely not in wd. Since the blood levels from the shot should have you on higher bupe levels then you had on oral doses (due to the high bioavailability of the shot vs oral subs) most people are golden after they get the second shot (steady state). Hope this helps!
@Kickin Addiction hey brother, I was talking to you about low t about 2 month's ago. You were right, my t was toilet.. in the low 200's!! I have an appointment with an Endocrinologist later this month.. hope to get on trt.. but no man, these were physical withdrawals.. I haven't felt that in a LONG time...The undeniable restlessness.. I just hope this 2nd shot keeps me level.. thanks for your help man.. I sometimes jump on your lives Wednesday evening.
Aww haha I remember that, wow that’s literally about right what I guessed your test would be if I can recall ? Yea that’s really surprising about having WD! The day you get that second shot you’ll literally have prob 450-500 mg worth of depot’s in you so my guess is you’ll be feeling lots better after that. First month is always hardest for just about everyone IMO. You’ll be feeling lots better with proper test levels as well! Glad you got that checked. 👍
The first month is tricky and what you describe is common. The second month will be much smoother.
How many buprenorphine patients receiving 12mg/day or more needed Gallbladder Surgery after several years of treatment?
Buprenorphine is very heavy on the liver. We all know that, so I was wondering according to my research people on or above 16 daily experiences Gallbladder removal ( which is connected directly on the liver)
Ive talked to thousands of Suboxone users many of them have been on more then ten years. Ive never heard anyone talk about having gallbladder issues let alone removal. The worst issue I’ve seen from long term use is them losing many teeth prematurely. I personally believe that the sublocade shot will do much less damage to teeth then taking oral subs. But that has yet to be studied. I’m interested to see what Dr Starr says about this.
I've been on Bupe for 20 years. 4 MG's daily never more, never less.... I'm taking TRT @ 200MG's 1/2 CC weekly and I have had no problems with my gallbladder or my liver. I eat clean and exercise every other day. I'm a 48 yr old male 5'9 195 LBS. I think I'm going to get on Sublocade next year and give it a shot. 20 years of buprenorphine is a lot. Fingers crossed!
Sublocade is amazing my friend. Thanks for sharing your TRT info. Many people on bupe will have LOW T. I suggest trying out sublocade sooner if you’re able. You get so much more freedom out of it and you train your brain not to need soMething daily just to get by.
@@kickinaddiction interesting.. thanks for sharing
people talk about insurance in the states, i'm in Australia and thank god for medicare it only costs me a one off payment of $30 for a 300mg sublocade shot, how much does it cost i the states through insurance?
Free with insurance
@@kylecarter8245 good stuff
I am only on 4 mg of Suboxone, but I have been in a severe protracted withdrawal from coming off of a benzodiazepine to rapidly which I have been on for far too long.
So my nervous system is pretty much shot and extremely sensitive.
I had been at 2 mg of Suboxone and found it excruciatingly painful to get off of. It caused my already extremely protracted, Benzo withdrawl neurological/physical symptoms to flare.
Would taking Sublocade Help me at the low dose of 4 mg?
I wanted to add to my previous comment. As I said, I’m on 4 mg and I am already experiencing inter-dose withdrawal so when I speak to my doctor, how does how should he go about dosing me and how many months should it take to get off completely? Thanks.
Sorry to say but 4mg really isn't a low dose, suboxone is insanely strong. I'm on .5mg a day myself. You need to keep tapering down.

I was on 10mg methadone, detoxed for 48 hours and switched to 8mg of Suboxone. Then 24 hours later given a dose of 300mg Subblocade. They told me I won't need any further maintenance doses. My goal was supposed to be to come off methadone and not replace it with anything but the health care providers convinced me this is the way to do it. I'm so confused. How is 300mg going to be my final dose. One month from now it's imperative that I be fully functioning and able to drive without suffering from withdrawal. Will I be fine?
How were you feeling when you got the shot any affect on your sleep pattern or anything else
it's hard for the docs to be sure about anything because this is so new, i'm in Australia and it was fast tracked here from the US and my doc admitted they still dont know how to dose correctly.
You good? The half life is really long so you might be fine
What was your suboxone dose? I would imagine 300-100 you should be fine.
