Took a 50mg naltrexone today, I have read conflicting arguements online saying to wait anywhere from 24 hours to 5 days before taking opiates. Could I get some clarification on this?
 
It's 3-4 days if you have been taking them consistently from my experience. Don't even bother attempting before that because I guarantee you will regret it immediately. If you are still using, why bother taking the naltrexone?
 
I do not take it regularly i was forced to by my dad. I only took it two days in a row, will i still have to wait 3-4 days?
 
How did you take the naltrexone? Sublingually? Or did you shoot it up? Naltexeone has terrible bioavailability via oral and sublingual routes which mean you have less naltrexone in your body than you think.

Anyways, the longer the wait the better. But may I ask why did you take the naltrexone if you wanted to get high?
 
I have been in your shoes, actually was in a similar situation a little over a year ago. IMO and IME getting high isnt worth rehabs, jail and being homeless. That's what happened to me, and it was the worst year of my life.

Watch yourself man, don't think your smarter than your parents because the cockiness and comfortability will get you caught when you start to feel assured and complacent, that's when shit hits the fan, or atleast for me.

Stay safe man, and keep time in between your use. The more you use, the higher of chance you will get caught.

Good luck

Dude 50mg Naltrexone certainly blocks opiates for well over 4 hours. A single 50mg dose is supposed to provide opiate receptor saturation for 24 hours. Don't bother trying to break through it as that is ignorant and dangerous. I'd wait probably 36 hours since you took it 2 days in a row.

you think 36 hours will be long enough? Will i be wasting any of the drug (heroin)
 
The active metabolite of naltrexone has a half life of 13 hours, and in my experience even doses like 5mg gives pretty much 24h blockage or at least dull the effects a lot. You need to wait couple of days at least.

And the above posters mix up naloxone with naltrexone which are 2 different chemicals.
 
^^okay so if i took a 50mg pill last at about 5am wednesday i should be good by about friday night. I stupidly did one bag last night because i was anxious (obviously didn't work)
 
Lol dude u sound so exactly like me
- k so 36 hours? I wont waste any dope?
Naltrexone takes awhile to piss off.
My parental authorities use suboxone like that. Cept naloxone wears off quick and I can shoot through it no prob cuz receptors aren't saturated till around 6mg (they only make me take 2mg) ... I'd hate to experience naloxone. Even clean. Shivers. Terrifying! Lol!
 
In CT suboxone isnt fully covered by insurance for people under 18 (stupid i know i guess 17 year olds dont have addiction). Im switching to subs soon, i just wanna know how long this naltrexone blocks effects
