Alkermes makes a product called Vivitrol.
This is 380mg/ml suspension of Naltrexone taken by injection every 30 days.
Taking naltrexone by itself (in pill form) can cause liver failure and usually does with long term use. Thus making the injectable option sometimes the ONLY option for people with bad bodies. (Like myself.)
If you don't have ridiculous prescription coverage with your current insurance plan, Alkermes wants almost $1,200-$1,500 for a single vial. This RX can be bought if you have good coverage for as little as $25 for the first shot and then $75 for each there after.. this is usually covered by their co-pay program anyways.
With the number of opiate users on SR, there are also a growing number of people who are suffering from withdrawls as well as trying to stop being addicted! Opiate withdrawl, although not the worst or the most lengthy, is nasty as they come. Vendors like rorock are selling tablets yes (and thank you), but someone really needs to find a way to get a hold of these vials. I'm sure they would go for @ least a $100 a pop.
Here is the glitch. The vials although available by RX are not just handed out to you @ your local pharmacy. They must be shipped to doctors from resellers of Alkermes's products, and your PCP must do the injection. This means that someone (what a better place to find someone with the knowhow ;)) has to literally steal these or else have direct access to them. Also, someone with chemical knowledge/ lab setup could make their own solution @ 380mg/ml (this is cheap in terms of mg/mg naltrexone) and get it up on the road. I guess the latter option would be most feasible if supply to the vials is so "strictly limited.
I would love to receive this injection monthly for my addiction to both alcohol/ opiates, but thanks to the wonderful healthcare of the United States, I am utterly fucked. (As usual.) As it stands, I pay over $200 for my monthly supply of 30 pills of Lexapro.
Hopefully the LSD should eventually kick that bad habit.
Teehee.
Anyone with any information/ comments please do so!
Thanks guys!

I think this is an important post but only a pharmacist /pharm tech could make it up into a suspension and for iv/im you'd need a clean room too buddy , so i doubt anyone gonna make their own and sell. Stealing it sounds like the better option. I wish you all the best with your addiction struggles man, soooo many youngsters on here possibly heading for a fall but no it will NEVER happen to them huh?? lol.
