I know it doesn't sound like much but it does help. I wish you the best of luck in your quest to quit.God bless

They used naloxoneNaloxone
Naloxone-pentazocine to clean out your system.  They are going to put a pellet called naltrexone in your body.  I am not a big fan of it as it blocks all opiates, including the endogenous ones (endorphins) that make you feel better after a detox when your body starts to produce them again.  But, some people do need some insurance.  It is great that you got through the procedure successfully.  Many have a nightmare of a time with it.

I happen to be one who will most likely be on the meds for the rest of his life.  That is wonderful things worked well for you.  There are definitely people who have had a good experience with it.  The biggest thing is getting a good doc.  It sounds like you did.  A lot of docs are doing it now, but that doesn't mean they know what they are doing.  Some do, but some don't and that is scary and dangerous.  My advice would be for one to check up on their doctor.  See if they have a web site and read up on the good doctor.  This isn't like going to see a doctor for a cold.  People have died from this procedure.  I know they aren't dropping like flies, but a bad doctor can be very dangerous just by the natureNatures tears of the procedure.  If you want to chat, you can e-mail me at ***@****.  I did have more to add, but I just had a brainAmebic brain abscess
