opiate dependence
"I am on day 2 of the vivitrol shot. I was a oxi/alcohol user for 3 years and then switched to suboxone detoxed off the subs at 1/4 mg/2mg films . Withdrawals off 1/4 mg were pure hell even.got the vivitrol shot and now I haven't slept in 2 days only 3-4 hours a night.  My alcohol cravings aren't as bad but still want a beer.  My oxi cravings are gone.  I don't hurt or feel restless from the sub withdrawals.  I tried taking melatonin to sleep but it don't help. If this sleep pattern persists I am not getting the shot next month."
