It was a stupid thing to do, but after weeks of watching my wife relapse, and then watching her run off with someone attending the same inpatient program, I decided to get high on heroin while using naltrexone.
I hawked the VCR in the morning. I had a huge needle that the hospital had given my wife when she begged them for rigs one day. I dont think they considered that she would actually use it. The needle was about as big as a small nail.
I hooked up with 40$ worth of dope, two peices. I went to a public bathroom, and carefully shot 1/4 of a balloon using the biggest needle I have ever had in a vein, bigger than blood sample needles.....
I actually felt the dope after doing two more shots the size of the first, though it was not nearly as strong as it would be hadnt I still had naltrexone in my blood. I called some people that I hung out with when using, and they asked me to score for them...we ended up doing dope all day. I didnt want to be alone while doing something risky like this. I itched, I nodded, I was euphoric. Only I had to do 4-8 times the amount that I would normally relapse with.
It occurred to me the next day to throw my few months of sobriety away, everything, the apartment,.....the agreement/contract with our parents.

I stopped taking naltrexone. What was the point? I already knew I could get a sort of a high going while using it. I had some side-effects from using naltrexone......lack of appetite....I couldnt sleep for longer than 3 hours at a time...wieght loss similiar to heroin addiction. I actually gained wieght while kicking dope, and then 3 weeks later got on naltrexone....it was my idea, the Doctors in this little clinic I was getting treatment at had never heard of it. a month after being on Naltrexone I lost all that weight again.

Sadly I bragged about this stupid idea of using naltrexone with dope. A guy I know heard from someone I got high on Naltrexone.....he decided to try it out. His freinds let him die in a corner of the room while they did whatever.

I am interested in Naltrexone in microgram amounts for tolerance maintenance and or potentiation of other opiates. I took very small amounts of Naltrexone with various opioids.....it seemed to work, but after a few days I would get dysphoric effects. like nausea, and dizziness, and some sort of ringing in the ears that would continue till the naltrexone was stopped.

I think from my experience that using naltrexone as a maintenance drug sucks............

a great post, Jacky.

At about the same time-frame, I also had a similar agreement with someone force-feeding or so to speak - needless to say, I put the pills in my pocket, day by day, until I could dig into my pocket, feeling the pills like candy. What an intense time I remember that being, every day teetering on the edge like oh yeah, this could be it!

Yes, of course, I finally got high.

To stay on topic, at the peak of my naltrexone usage, I took a hit of some of the best lsd I'd ever had and felt nothing. I remember that two hours after taking it, my body finally relaxed after two weeks of the worst kick I've ever had (fucking speedballs.) I slept through the night for the first time in quite awhile.

I still don't see anything out there on Revia and LSD. It be interested to repeat the experience, for the sake of argument, but have no interest in taking Revia or ending up with a head full of acid...

Yes, I remember you experiment with LSD while on naltrexone.....Now looking back I wonder jsut what this could mean pharmacologically.
I have thought that opiate pharmacology might be at play in some stages or types of psychedelic experience...I mean, how can you have euphoria without the opiate receptors being involved?
So I would like to see more peoples experiences with naltrexone and psychedelics, DMT, LSD, Mescaline, etc.

I am sure that most people taking naltrexone are going to steer clear of taking psychedelics. The use of opioid antagonists for bioassay of possible opioid agonists is one of the researchers most common tests. I am willing to put my money down that mescaline at least has effects on certian opioid receptors that are bound to dopamine receptors in the mesolimbic system.............

I used to know a person who basically got talked into getting a naltrexone implant.It got her of H, but she developed an even worse speed habit.She reckoned that the speed was heaps better while on naltrexone.But she was a very unpredictable and even unstable, often telling stories, so i suppose her recollection of her experience wouldnt be very much use.
