Hi Ash
Sorry I don't know about Vivitrol but congratulations on your sobriety that is a huge success and a giant step in improving your health!
Extremely tiredness and feeling exhausted as well as nausea can all be symptoms of hep c definitely.
The good news is there are new treatments just approved in the last year and the newest in just this past October Harvoni that is just one pill a day, with minimal side effects for most, very effective and very short treatment possibly as short as 8 or 12 weeks or 24 weeks if the patient has advanced liver disease. There has never been a better time to treat hep c so see your liver specialist get evaluated for treatment and get cured of hep c.
There is also help to pay for medicine from the maker of Harvoni at My Support Path

Hi I forgot to mention that if you do a search, by clicking the magnifying glass icon at the top of this pates, you can find a lot of information.
It was approved in 2010 and is supposed to help opiate and alcohol addiction by blocking the receptors. I hope this helps
I know this is an old question but I found it so I’m sure other people do too. So I’m gonna answer it. I don’t have hep c but everything you are describing I have felt since getting the shot, and the weird thing as it has worn off (30 days since getting it now) I been getting sicker and worse. Body aches when I wake up, so sore, I can’t eat without weed or I feel sick, sweaty, freezing even though it’s 116 degrees outside. Weak, lethargic, no motivation, I can barely walk I’m in such mental and physical anguish. The days drag by because I can’t sleep. Every day feels like it’s 2 days long because of lack of sleep and complete boredom. It’s called sobriety and the shot. Together they are an absolute hell on earth.
