Hi,

I am on naltrexone 25 mg twice a day and tried heroin after being clean for a couple weeks. The naltrexone blocked all effects and I am wondering can I continue to take naltrexone everyday now or do I have to wait 7-10 days again since i did down?

Thanks
 
i was on naltrexone therapy for over a year, though i had the subcutaneous abdominal implant. when i first got it i wasted a lot of money trying to get high. embarrassingly dumb. as has been said, you're fine continuing to take the naltrexone. if you don't get any effects from taking an agonist, it means your receptors were still fully "blocked" by the naltrexone, so nothing attached to them. the godawful precipitated withdrawal that can come on from taking naltrexone when opiates are still in your system only occurs if they were able to bind to your receptors.
