My boyfriend has a past use of IVing dope, he is taking the steps to recovery but it's been hard for him. He's relapsed more than I can count since he first went to see a doctor. Needless to say, it's never an easy road, and please, before any of you judge him you have to know I was also an addict but have been clean for over a year and I won't give up on him because I know that feeling of being alone in it, I went through it myself. I've been where he has been but my circumstance were a little different. Regaurdless, he last used 36 hours prior to taking a 50mg naltrexone (which he got from his doctor weeks ago, but finally made the decision to take the step in the right direction) and I'm almost 100% positive he's going through p/w. I went cold turkey when I finally got clean, and I have been through p/w before but my situation was different. I was wondering if anyone has ever been through this via naltrexone and not waited the 7-10 days the doctor told him to be clean before taking this pill. He's never been through p/w before and I know he feels like death. It's only been about 2 1/2 hours since he ingested the naltrexone pill and I can tell it's getting worse. Any experience/advice on how long it may last and any ways to ease his discomfort would be greatly appreciated.
