I'm a junkie. I'm American but currently living overseas somewhere where I don't have access to heroin. My family has suggested I go on Vivitrol if/when I move back to the US.
I have always been afraid to go on Vivitrol because I am afraid it will just make me feel like I'm in withdrawal all the time (i.e. it will have the opposite effect of an opiate). Once I take the Vivitrol shot, there's no way out. If it does make me feel like shit all the time, there's nothing I can do about it except wait a month for the Vivitrol to wear off.
Has anyone had this experience (or anything similar) with Naltrexone or Vivitrol? Or am I just coming up with excuses to not go on Vivitrol (so that I can keep using dope)?
