Naltrexone Implant Therapy

Anyone have any experience with this or know anyone that did? I think I remember ppl using this before subs came into the States. Was trying to find out all I can about  it. I want to have a "safety net" the first few months and am seriously considering seeing any doctors that do this if any @ all. Is their a site like the suboxone site that gives a list of doctors that utilize this? Gonna call addiction dr. this week about it, but personal experience is more priceless than  a person who has not had this.  Any input?

Your fear of someone finding out about ur addiction is what paralyzed me. If you knew me before you would have known that I was paranoid of ppl finding out about my addiction.  Who cares. You need this. Get the help you need. How long have you been clean? I am just DRAINED!! I never thought the NRG loss would be this bad. I heard it was bad,, but this bad???? Are you sleeping?

If you use whether you are taking a pill or useing an implant, it is all the same.  You will have to ingest massive amts. to get a high from it.  Plus, I understand that it helps lower your pain levels,  that will really help me out.  Fibro people say that they can tell they have more energy.   Yeah, I really thought I would have to order it online, and didn't want to go that route.  I don't know of anywhere to buy drugs but people on here and other forums say you can order them online.  I am afraid of the scammers and never was too lucky with that so I better stay with a Dr.    Some people have said that their Dr. would not prescribe it to them,  I have no idea why as it is non addictive.   Guess they just want them to stay on their opiates!!      So glad the meetings are working out for you as I never have been to one,  these posts and people I never see but talk to often (lol)  but I am from a small town and the nearest town also is a slightly largert town, so I have no where to go but what I am sure to meet someone I know, or who knows me!!  Anyway, tmi !

So u can order the tabs with a doctor's approval? I know for almost a fact my doctor will give me what I need to beat this. It's just with the tabs,, what if  feel weak,,, really have an untolerable pain day @ a pain scale real high? Inplant will not entice me as I can find drugs in every little crevice of the world. Went to an NA meeting 2nite and I swear they were wheeling and dealing in the parking lot. May have to go to AA for sure. I got a great sponsor though through NA. though. Tough as nails... what I need. Another medical peer so she understands.Thanks for the input. Gonna try to get some sleep. I get bout 1/2 hour a time. Weird thing with the sub w/d is you can feel somwhat tolerable and then a wave of w/d hits you. It is wearing me out and I can't even think straight sometimes. Cloudy focus etc.I just lay in bed all day long. I gotta get moving. will this drug give us NRG?? Fatigue, omg 1,000 times worse than the monno I had  yrs ago in comparrioson during this sub w/d. Still can't beleive I can say I am opiate free for the first time in almost 15 yrs.FEELS GREAT to not have to worry bout it anymore.Gotta do something about cravings that are overtaking me and making me feel like a blobb and losing way 2 much more weight.  God be with us all!!!!

  My Dr. prescribed this for me today,  I was thinking I may have to order it online through one of those "pharmacys" I have never ordered anything from an online pharmacy and I was so glad my dr. said okay.    I had thought abt. doing the ldn but after my dr. said he was putting me on one tablet a day, I started re thinking the opiate thing.  I so do not want the implant,  just don't, but whatever works for others.
