Hi all, The local newspaper here carried an in depth story on addiction. I don't know anything about this drug, but wanted to share.

When I get a chance I'll link to the rest of the article, but the Vicitrol helped this woman.
Peace and prayers for all those still suffering.
More Interesting info about naltrexone. Thank you Brynn.
Addicts wanting to stop their opiate addiction should look in to it because anything that can help an addict get free from heroin addiction is a plus.
Just make sure to do your homework before you decide, this article makes it sound like a miracle cure. One thing I do like is they seem to require the patients to attend one-on-one counseling while on the program.
It is a proven fact that patients who receive counseling AND attend meetings such as AA or NA have a higher success rate of being clean and staying that way with a combination of both.

Naltrexone has a bad press here in UK
not prescribed by our NHS doctors anymore only by private clinics
those who get clean with it tend to go right back there at a later date.

Jaz,
I thought it sounded too good, but hey, if it works for them......

Jaz, that's exactly what happened to a couple of folks I know of.
Dang ladies I am sorry. I knew it sounded too good to be true. However, we always have hope.
Soooo the "other" name for it I know. That's the stuff they about beat me in to submission to take on trial the last time I was in rehab. And I mean the last. "We're doing a study and you'll get like K-Mart comps or something". Oh he*l no. I don't trust any of that. Big business and all.
Again I am so sorry. I was hoping it could help somebody out there see better days.
Sending positive vibes, and peace and soul. I always miss you dear ones.

Any info.
Posted on here is helpful to someone Bryn as u well know.I was on naltrexone years ago,not long after it started being prescribed here,I actually had my brother sticking it down my throat 1st thing each morning,the info at that time was thait blocked any opiates for up to 36hrs..You need to be motivated to continually take the thing though or as in my case,,supervised at the beginning as I didn't trust myself..
Taking it before any opiates were out yr system though cauused instant withdrawal x10..The illness that you felt was quite horrific,,I volunteered for trials involving naltrexone and subutex at the the same time,that's how I know..The same Dr got a job in one of the prisons and was dishing them out in there,unsupervised,,,all of a sudden there was a spate of mystery illnesses,,the cons were sticking them in other cons tea so bcoz they had opiates in their systems they were dropping like flies..The Dr got sacked from the jail and tmhe local drug service..
I myself didn't like them but that was maybe due to the fact that at that time I maybe didn't want to like them though I do remember a weird unpleasant feeling in my head...Eck

Hey Eckie,
How are you my friend?
The picture you painted was not pretty and dangerous to boot. Addicts often times look for a quick fix and won't/don't do the work needed to clean up.
I think just about every med out there ,especially Soboxone, naltrexone and whatever else has to be taken after detoxing from methadone or heroin. I still hear it does nothing for the craving and thats a BIG thing to get past.
Thanks for the stark picture of blatant uncomfortable.LOL.
Glad you are doing well:)

Hi granny
The Dr who I did these trials with wanted and I quote"a Nobel prize"for being the 1st Dr in the world to have opiates out our system and the addict on naltrexone in one day,the result was that he nearly fcukin killed me..The fact was that he left the desicion on whether to go ahead with it up to me,,easy target eh!!He knew how desperate I was and wanted to be clean,n,cured so to speak..
My late brother who knew or understood nothing about drug's came to pick me up from this makeshift clinic that day and was shocked and probably scared at the state I climbed into the back of his car in,,I also for the first time in my life had no control of my bowels which was embarrassing and really scary.
That was the last of my experiments with this Dr,,he musta thought he.d won a watch when he found someone as brave,stupid but mostly desperate as myself..
Be good Granny....Eck...xxx

Oh Eckie,
I am so sorry to hear you had to go thru that crappola. It does show ,tho,at that point, how desperate you were to stop using??
How are your kids?? Arent they just wonders of nature??LOL.
My grandkids cease to amaze me.They are twins, but SO different. There was something on face book this morning.....Grandkids are our links to the future. Grandparents are their links to the past.
Something like that. I thought that was pretty cool....made sense.
Have a good day,sweetie. Its a beautiful day here in So.Calif. It was nice yesterday,sprinkled last night and it's bright and sunny today.
