I have had 3 injections of vivitrol and I'm 17 days out from my last shot. I was wondering if I take pain killers, 1 will they work, 2 will taking one pill hurt me (I know your risk of overdose is higher on vivitrol) . I'm taking it because I was on pain pills for YEARS and on subs for 2.5 years.
 
I recommend you don't take any opiates right now because at 17 days out the Vivitrol is stil very active...wait at least 30 days. Taking one pil may or may not hurt you depending on how strong the pill is and where your tolerance currently is, but we can't say for certain because there are so any variables.

Why are you wanting to take the pill?
 
I fell down some stairs and aside from the nasty bruise I have, there is alot of pain. A friend gave me an oxycodone for the pain, but I'm worried that it won't help with the pain and that it may hurt me because of the vivitrol.
 
It's probably not going to help much of any. Did you ice the area when it happened? Where specifically is the injury?
 
It's my mid to lower back. I done ice 15 on 15 off for awhile, now I'm using heat and ibuprofen. Still very sore.
 
Just wanted to say... Stay clean n give that away if you didn't already.

Vivitrol leaves the body different speeds for different folks too.

I personally refused it based on the liver issues and watching my rehab pals barf their lungs out.

However I can tell you all that oxy will do is make u mad u didn't feel it and will test positive for it if u received one or will.

On the other hand kudos for the effort to stay clean and I really hope you feel better soon. I broke my hip once and got by on hardly no OTC or etc. Rest n ice helped. Oh and a desire to get over it. It built character.
Best wishes
