Rapid detox from methadone and naltrexone implants

[cleanman]

I am interested to hear from anyone who has been through a rapid detox following methadone or heroin addiction and then had a naltraxone implant.  I have been clean for 18 months after having two naltrexone implants but can't find anyone else who has managed to come off after using such a high dose of methadone (300 ml per day).  Would also be interested to hear about any side effects from naltrexone and rapid detox, as I have experienced depression, anxiety and Delirium tremors and extreme aggression!

My experience was to exercise.  Would run till I thought I was going to collapse.  Took only 2 weeks before I was actually getting a real good nights sleep.  On the eighth day I felt my natural endorphins we taking care of my problem. It take a little effort, but the result are great. I don't even take any thing stronger than an asprin now.  Am eating alot of veggies and rare meat and chicken. Taking herbs.  I can work all day and enjoy life again. Never ever want to be in that place again.  It was the most horrible place in the world. Did it all over several years.

Methadone creates what is called a blockade effect.  It will block ALL effects of other opioids, including analgesia and euphoria.  You are better off doing what you are doing....stopping the vicodin.
