do you do any kind of naloxone challenge before starting the naltrexone? or check urine for signs of buprenorphine? how long does it take from the last dose of buprenorphine until it is safe to start naltrexone? i am guessing it depends a lot on what the dose was before stopping? thanks for your hel...

thanks- i thought of that but these are folks that are already on 3 strips a day- so 24mg- i actually worry that the high dose is part of the problem- they may be diverting and buying oxy or whatever with their profits-so these are not necessarily "ideal" patients to begin with but they do legit hav...

thanks again for the additional details- when you say small amount of klonopin, what are you talking about? and when you push the dose from day3-6- how often are you dosing? do you think that if i started on day 5, i could start with 12.5 (1/4 tablet) to avoid the need for a compounding pharmacy? or...

The cost of vivitrol in CT that i was quoted was $1300 per dose and I am having a great deal of trouble getting it approved but i intend to keep trying. I am intrigued by studies showing vivitrol reduces cravings when data and anecdotal experience suggest oral immediate release naltrexone does not- ...

i have a pt coming out of inpt next week- ready to start vivitrol the day he gets out- which seems safe enough as he has been there 30 days- his mother is very concerned that he will "test" and based on the above that doesnt seem unlikely- he went inpt because he kept "testing" on suboxone though he...
