Getting around a O'Neill Long Acting Naltrexone Implant (revia)

^that still doesn't mean its safe to be injecting bupe pills, suboxone or subutex. if you're getting on maintenance you should be wanting to curb and break the IV habit pretty quickly imo. the needle alone is a huge trigger for myself and a huge involvement(cue) in the whole of my addiction and (ab)use cycles.
 
That's what I mean - I guess I was thinking in terms of opioid use full stop, as I know that with methadone, it is possible to still feel the effects of opiates and thereby makes it possible to keep using....whereas with bupe, the effects can be quite adverse should someone choose to use while they're taking it (they go into rapid withdrawal from memory)....so, more incentive to steer clear.

Also less trips to the chemist :)
 
I admitted i was banging oxys and bam the next day I was given another implant....just the one though to go with the 3 i already have (that have weakened enough for me to feel 40-80mgs of oxy) Im screwed again! I wish I knew someone who'd swap oxys for goey!!!!
 
O'Neil gives those things out for any drug.
I heard him try to give them to people for Ecstasy pills.
Quick fix's hardly ever work for the person only for the people around the person.

Hows his The O’Neil Springfusor benzo treatment.
 
I was not given a suboxone option - just an appointment for another implant. O'Neill claims his implant stop everything from smoking cigs, gambling, drinking, speed, ecstasy and benzos which is crap because the only drug it stops you feeling is opiates. FULL STOP and you feel like shit and get depressed very easily. His springfusor is usually packed with medazzline to knock you out and make any rapid withdrawal bearable. Your right drug fucked this thing isnt for me....its for everyone around me to say "she's cured".
 
You have really got to want to stop using before you will make progress.

Suboxone gives you the right state of mind to make that decision and progress to sobriety.

It allows you to feel like a normal human again, and allows you to get back on the horse. (So to speak ;))

The aim of Buprenorphine treatment is:
1. It will stop other opiates from working. If you do manage to break through, it will be followed by a period of withdrawal, which is an incentive not to compromise your treatment.
2. Buprenorphine should hold you completely, meaning that you should not need any more medicine to feel normal.
3. The half life of Buprenorphine is long, very long. This means that you should not get inter dose withdrawal symptoms. A sub doctor I visit has suggested that you can dose every three days if you like. This makes for easy treatment.
4. The safety profile of Buprenorphine is amazing. It is quite safe in overdose, without the respiratory depression of other opiate drugs. (Except in combination with Diazepam)
5. Buprenorphine has been shown to act like an antidepressant, which can really help things along during treatment.

I am surprised your doctor did not mention this treatment option.

You should be aiming to get back into normal life. Integration is the key, not the drugs you have to take to enable it.
 
I have a question about my implantions....ive had two more 10 pellet implants (implanted this month) on top of three implants, implanted in november 2009. All up I have five implants all releasing naltrexone at different rates. How much naltrexone would you say is being released everyday? Would it be 5.3 ng/mg a day or less? I feel like total shit and dont know whats happening to me. How long do you think they have to break down? I dont understand the process......
 
excessive? I think about cutting them out all the time.....Ive got an extra sharp boxcutter that I could use
 
easy for you to say. You are not stuck in a shitty situation where you are surrounded by your drug of choice for free and have five effing naltrexone implants in you. That you never wanted in the first place. It was implants or nothing according to the doc who saw me. I just want to know if I can overshoot this.....three of implants were implanted well over 200 days ago (their lifespan) and two put in on March 31. Each active one releases 1.1 ng/mg a day. HARM REDUCTION please!!!!!!!
 
I think it's harm reduction telling you NOT to cut the fucking things out of your arm. For G-d's sake, you could get all kinds of nasty infections.

Believe me, we have all been in shitty situations and I'm in one right now so don't lecture me about what's easy to say and what's not. If you just got more of them put in it's going to be hard to shoot over them and would probably be very risky. If you are seriously considering harming yourself over this I would urge you to seek urgent treatment. What family conditions are stopping you getting them removed and getting something alternative? Have you discussed methadone or bupe with them?
 
its the doctor - he reckons that naltrexone is a miracle cure - my family wants to believe so I have five implants. He says meth and bupe are state funded drug dealing FULL STOP therefore not for me/my family to support me doing. And the implants are in my stomach not my arm.

Sorry for the lecturing part
 
^ No problems brother, sorry if I went off too I am just in a hypomanic state right now...

Fuck, in your stomach? That's ridiculous...

Perhaps if you accessed enough legitimate sources (articles, journals, etc...) showing that these things are risky, not approved for that use in Australia and are putting you in this state you could convince your family. I have had to do a similar thing before in convincing them in regards to treatment for my mental illness.
 
His reputation isn't exactly untarnished though is it?

I remember the debate that sprung up around this guy, you might be able to get enough stuff together against him to engage in some character assassination...

ETA: Also, why not doctor against doctor? Are you able to contact another medical personnel who will listen to you and help you discuss this situation with your family? It is not good for you to be so depressed and considering self-harm due to these implants.
 
I give up. If there is truly nothing you can do, then you will have to wait until the implants expire. I'd try and seek some counselling in the mean time.
