Ever since I was twelve years old I have loved drugs. Name a drug an I've done It and I've loved it. I've never come across a drug I did not like. My first love was Mary Jane, then it was LSD, next it was Benzos, and after that It was any thing that got me high. I've done it all.

Summary
Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist used in the treatment of opiate and alcohol addiction. It blocks the effects of opiates so that if a user chooses to take an opiate after taking naltrexone, they do not experience much, if any, effect. This helps improve abstinence in those who can maintain taking the daily dose of naltrexone.

Based on reports from:
Tolerance
Build-up
develops within days of regular use; analgesic tolerance faster than respiratory depression tolerance
Reset
7–14 days for partial reset; full reset may take weeks — tolerance loss greatly increases overdose risk
Tolerance Decay
Full tolerance
1d
Half tolerance
21d
Baseline
~35d
Acute tolerance: develops within a single session — the reset numbers above apply after sustained heavy use, not after one binge. Within-session tachyphylaxis usually resets largely overnight.

In this report I will detail my experience taking 4.5 mg naltrexone (known as low-dose naltrexone) nightly for psychiatric purposes. First, the background information. I have a diagnosis of bipolar 2 disorder and general anxiety disorder.
I took .1 mg clonidine at 9 AM and 15 mg (1/4 full dose) naltrexone at 930 AM. This is my first time taking Naltrexone ever. I'm an alcoholic and I've been sober for three days. Naltrexone was prescribed to me for the purpose of preventing a relapse.
I am titling this message, not to be confused with Suboxone for the simple reason it SHOULD NOT. I have been taking all types of painkillers now for years and years. I have never felt the need for help because I had never had a withdrawal from Opiates until recently. Oxycontin is my demon.
I am an MS patient and have been interested in LDN therapy for a long time but couldn't find a neurologist to prescribe it because it still lacks 'gold standard' clinical evidence. I am also an alcoholic and was prescribed naltrexone several years ago to curb alcohol cravings.
I've been addicted to opiates on and off for the past 5 years, and because of a recent relapse I am being forced to take naltrexone. I started taking it 10 days clean, and I've been on it for 2 weeks. Naltrexone treatment has a notoriously low compliance rate, and now I understand why.
