Hey everyone! For 9 years I had an out of control IV heroin addiction. This past May I just had enough, lost everything and my health was declining because I had lost so much weight. I went to rehab, did a 7 day Subutex detox and stayed 28 days to complete the program. Two days after leaving rehab I got the Vivitrol shot. It's been a miracle for me, I still get some cravings but they aren't as intense. My doctor recommended I stay on it for a year, and thats what I plan on doing. My only fear is what happens once I stop getting the injection. I removed myself from all people, places and things that triggered me and am working a 12 step program. I finally have my psych meds right as well, but still have this lingering thought of having intense craving and drug dreams after I get off Vivitrol. Has anyone received Vivitrol and remained clean when they stopped? Did you feel different in any way?
