Yea, that's pretty much the breaks man. It sucks, but you live by the sword, you die by the sword. Sadly, the problem here is the medication doing exactly what it's supposed to do I know it sucks, but you'll be back to normal soon. I've always been frightened of the Vivitrol (Naltrexone Controlled-Release Injection). What if I get in a car accident or break my leg? I know in theory, this is easily treatable with powerful Opioids like Remifentanil, but I also know that in practice, the ER doctor is not likely to prescribe anything above 2mg Hydromorphone every 6 hours.
This is an issue that I've actually spent a lot of time wondering about. The folks who sell Vivitrol will say that you can still be treated for pain so long as the prescribing doc is aware of your treatment protocol. But, like I said, I have a very bad feeling regarding what docs are actually going to do to someone in a position like this. Again, this is scary shit to me.
I'd love to hear experiences from those who have been through similar stuff?
