Hello Everyone, I am so greatful to have found this site. I have been suffering with addiction for the past 20 years. In short I was in recovery for 8 years. My drugs of choice were more of what ever. I went through rehab the last time and enter the programs AA & NA which I feel I owe my life to. For 8 years I have been successful in staying clean by going to meetings and working the 12 steps. In Jan I had to have some heart surgery which I went through successfully. I was prescribed oxycontin for pain after the opperation. I wasn't familiar with the medicine but took it as prescribed. (mistake) It started that monster up and the next thing I knew I was buying oxy off the street to get as much as I could. I have since been through 2 detox programs and am now getting ready to go on a new drug Revia. It was suggested since I was having such a hard time with my relapse. (going out after so many years of success is the hardest battle to fight with yourself) Anyway does anyone know anything about this. It is a narcotic antagonist. I had gum surgery last week. I took Vicoden (as prescribed)one every 6 hrs and finished on Sat. Is it safe to start the Revia after 72 hours or will I get sick? I'm rushing this as to not make it so long but I took the Revia last month while I still had oxy in my system and have never been that sick in my lilfe. I'm affraid but want to start the Revia ASAP. It will really help me I think if I don't get sick. I am having bad cravings and anxioness for oxy but don't want to go back there. Can anyone one help? |

i wasn't familiar with the medicine , too . and i can only say to u that : keep calm , whatever happens . if , no one reaches out a hand for u to hold . when u're lost outside look inside to ur soul . when there's no one else . just trust the voice within . then u will find the strength . u must hard to overcome everything . |
i solemnly swear that i am up to no good .

As I know, you won't get sick when you start to take Revia. It might cause some withdrawal symptoms, if so just stop taking it and ask your doctor. But be sure to totally stop taking any kind of narcotic before start taking Revia. The best way is to talk to your doctor to know your dose. Don't try it unless you're sure. best wishes |
