Hey 1st Cav …. if you read my post and dropped some Naltrexone from 2 mg of sub …. I’m really sorry … it it an opiate blocker (to put it simply) and will cause precipitated WD if you have opiates attached to mu receptors …. yikes …guess you found that out tho … not good.
Naltrexone is a type of drug therapy that is very effective at reducing alcohol and opiate cravings as it blocks mu receptor uptake of such AFTER you are clean. Go to the Colemen Institute website for info. I think they are a really good rapid detox center and advocate or naltrexone therapy. That being said … you have a lot of homework to do. You are not gonna feel good by next wednesday after a year of sub therapy cold turkey. Period. You need to see a Dr and get some professional advice. I am not a Dr and my advice like many on this site can be misunderstood and result in your being sicker. The VA has the advisors for sure. If you have a script for Naltrexone … I assume it was for drinking ? My only other advice is to be easy on yourself … you don’t need to be off sub so fast …. taper … feel good … go to school and do well … don’t try and be all you can be in a week !
GOD BLESS YOU … Thank you for your service !
