Naltrexone Forums (Page 4)

Hi my name is Melissa. I was cleaning my sisters bed room and she was just recently out of rehab. She said they weren't hers, but maybe you can help me figure out what they are. They are light blue one side has a split and the other side has 50 on it. They are also oval. ## Hi Melissa, The closest match I can find is Naltrexone Oral (50) mg; which belongs to the drug class- opiate antagonists. This pill is light yellow in color, but other than that it matches the description you provided. The pill you have was most likely made by a different manufacturer (who decided to color it blue).

When you break/crush the OP, you release naltrexone, that would otherwise pass threw you. Naltrexone binds to opiate sites for 72 hours… so even if you tried another drug - you’ve f***ed up - those receptors aren’t going to be available for 3 days. I have no evidence that suggests that citric acid does anything to the micro-encapsulated naltrexone, and 2 packets of Kool-Aid are hardly a match for the hydrochloric acid in your stomach. Does anyone use any common sense here?

will this help with bronchietatsis? ## Is maltrexone effective in treating essential tremors? ## Are you referring to the medication Naltrexone? If so, then the answer is NO to both quesions! This medication is used to treat Opiate dependency, by blocking the receptors in the body that react to the opiates. Was it prescribed for these conditions? Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness and induced withdrawal. You can read more here:

My 18 year old son has been to out, and in-patient treatment programs for alcohol abuse. He seems to have no will power whatsoever when it comes to his friends and or drinking. He is an athlete in incredible shape. He works 5 days a week. He works out with 2 different trainers 5 days a week. He is supposed to be going to college to play football in August. He pushes his body to the limit all week, then on the weekend, he says he won't drink, but somehow always starts and doesn't stop till he's completely ...passed out. I've been hearing about medications to help control the urge to drink.Naltrexone,Topiramate. I'm hoping he can get a handle on it before it completely destroys his future.ANY HELP PLEASE. Kay
