Hi all
I have been clean of opiates for 5 weeks following 2 years of being an IV heroin addict. I relapsed yesterday and have been smoking small amounts for a period of 24hrs. I am not re-addicted yet.
I was just prescribed naltrexone and was wondering if I take the naltrexone, would it put me into precipitated withdrawal even though I would not suffer withdrawal if I were to all of a sudden stop using again?
24hrs isn't enough to be re-addicted again, so I'm thinking of having my last little smoke tonight and then starting the naltrexone tomorrow night.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to go back to being an addict but I left rehab with no meds and it took me a few days to sort out some sleeping tablets and naltrexone.
Thanks in advance
