Why did my first vivitrol injection work as promised, the second did nothing?

Had my first injection in mid March. Second last week.  Last weeks did nothing but cause pain and discomfort.  And actually increased cravings.  Is it me or was the shot not administered correctly

Hi...well vivitrol is not a opiet replacement drug  it is a drug that you take to block any opiets from being able to fill the brain receptors  bacicly it prevents you from getting high....it also is not a substution for aftercare....the only thing I found that helps with the obbession that drive's you to use is  the N/A progam.....long after the pills stop your still left with the addict in your head  N/A treats the addict  with time and working the progam you will loose the desire to get high  something I thought was impossible....google a N/A meeting near you  you also my want to check out vivitrol's website  keep posting for support.................................Gnarly..........................................
