naltrexone/revia implant
by sundara, May 06, 2003 12:00AM
I went through rapid detox and had the naltrexone implant inserted on April 15th, it is a 6-7 week opiate blocker. . . .there is quite a lump and after physical work is it somewhat sore . . doctor at clinic prescribed a steroid which took away inflamation . . it does feel better, but it itches towards evening time. . .i am just surprised at the size of the lump . . and wonder if over the next weeks the size of the implant reduces as it desolves . . have been off vicodin almost 30 days and feel wonderful . . i was so out of it went the implant was inserted i am not sure i really understood what it would look like . .. is this normal? I would also like to say thank you for this forum it has been my life line back to quality life and some sense of sanity!!! thank you very much!
I posted a NEW thread on May 4 (see c-6).
I would really like some feedback.
Great to read all your posts.

So here's my question, and sorry that it's stupid: Everytime I drink more than four alcoholic drinks, I have severe knee pain the next morning that lasts the whole day. Alcohol is not my DOC, and knowing how the next day will be if I drink too much, I'm not willing to get drunk, ever. There is no hangover because the knee pain takes over. Why? Anyone?
First, If my son died I would probably go off the deep end with my addiction and never look back, but that's coming from the viewpoint of being an addict before he died, which is not your case right? I guess I only wanted to tell you this as a way to make you feel less guilty, and I'm very sorry for the loss of your son.
Also, I ODed on oxycontin a couple of years ago. I was in a coma but came out of it perfectly fine to everyones amazement. There is a reason I did, I don't know what yet, maybe just to raise my son...I don't know. Anyway, since then I think my mom has become addicted to percocets also. She's been to doctor after doctor, all kinds of dental work, diagnosed with fibromyalgia...everything results in her filling another script.
