Greetings all,

Im not unfamiliar with bluelight but decided to create a membership b/c i believe this is topic worthy. I have been on vivitrol shot for over a year with some on and off periods i.e. missing two weeks 3x. during that time i have thoroughly tested vivitrol and believe it is best to wait till near end of cycle to use. But this month i went in for my shot which we could also call my first because i had a month gap between shots prior. 1st, i believe it was incorrectly administered, i believe it was in the muscle but the nurse pulled back and ll of a sudden it was burning sensation so i believe the medication ended up subcutaneous instead of the muscle. i also believe this because i do not have the sore muscle feeling you always get from the injection. and finally it is day 11 and in the past week i have attempted use and felt 50%-70%. Thoughts? do you think it was incorrect administration or maybe because i stopped the shot, i know the 1st shot never seems to be as effective? Thank you
 
We have know way of knowing if it was incorrectly administered. More information would be helpful, like what did you use, the size of your dose, and which route of administration was utilized..

Some opioids can breakthrough the blocking effect of naltrexone, I.e. fentanyl..
