You may require a dosage adjustment, the manufacturer recommends a starting dose of 300mgs monthly, for the first 2 months, then adjustments should be made, after that, according to the patient's response.

It should be dosed no less than 26 days apart, and delays of up to 2 weeks are usually insignificant therapeutically.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

The Sublocade website does warn that you may experience withdrawal like effects, when you first start using it.

Have you informed your doctor of what you're experiencing?
