Hello all! I'm new here, been lurking around for awhile but after searching for a bit (as a new member I don't know if I missed this thread while searching if it was already previously discussed so sorry if it already was but here goes:
So my husband got a Naltrexone implant literally just yesterday. It's made him loopy and disoriented beyond belief (which according to the doctors between the narcan I injections they gave him before hand and the low doses of naltrexone they were giving him for the last few days as part of this rapid detox opiate therapy program, this is to be expected)...well literally within minutes of getting home from our long journey home from where he got the implant he "found" dope stashed in our room. Not mine, as I am "clean" on a suboxone program at the moment. He claims that he actually feels the effects of the dope. According to him he really didn't do that much.. which was what I was really scared of because of course his tolerance should be way down from the rapid detox and having the opiates completely out of his system. He is still snorting lines, I would imagine he's done maybe 4 "decent" size lines since we've gotten home today and each time he claims that he really feels high from it.
I think that it's just the placebo effect that's taking place here and that he's getting that little kick from the reward center in his brain saying "good job, your snorting stuff, and snorting stuff makes you happy! Let's party!"
Obviously I'm not happy with the fact that he had basically relapsed within a day of getting home. I'm aware that most people OD before would actually get to feel the effects of opiates while having the naltrexone implant.
What would you all say? Is it possible that e actually is getting high?
