heroin's kryptonite - heroin in the morning and naltrexone in the evening?

[drogasporfavor]

Hello all...so I am a new member, long time reader, and I thought I would finally go for it and register. I had this thought the other day and wanted to hear everyone elses thoughts on the subject. I have a bottle of naltrexone (very similar to narcan) and know that it will put you into immediate withdrawal if you take it with a lot of dope in the system. I was even reading about a rapid detox where they anesthetize a subject and use this chemical to "detox" them while they're out. So here's my question: what if you used naltrexone everyday to avoid withdrawal? Say you got high in the morning for the first time in months, and later that night took a naltrexone. You wouldn't experience withdrawal because you would only be expelling that day's use. You wake up "clean" and can then start the process all over, theoretically. Cure for withdrawals anyone??? I haven't tried this myself but am now very curious. Thoughts and/or experiences?

You'd experience withdrawal.

Naltrexone makes even opioid naive people feel like garbage.

The long half-life of Naltrexone wouldn't make this possible. But even with a shorter-acting antagonist (Naloxone, Nalorphine), you will feel like crap. Even if you're opioid naive and are not dependant, being high on Heroin then taking any antagonist doesn't just kick the Heroin out and put you back at baseline like you never took it.

Though on an on and off basis, low dose Naltrexone/use of antagonists have been discussed to lower opioid tolerance- but not on a 'use today, take the antagonist, use tomorrow guilt free' kinda way.
