If you will google the COWS ( clinical opiate withdrawal scale test) sheet, and look over that, those are the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. I am trying to figure out if you are asking that, or if you are asking what symptoms he would have if he relapsed and started taking the pain killers again. If he vomited on the naltrexone, he took it too soon. How is he now? Patti

Hi pattishan61. The thing is that English is my second languge so bare with me.
2weeks ago he whent back to drogs. Las night could not take it any more, so took 2 Naltrexone. "and told his parents"... he stop cold turkey... He is having all this symtoms ofcourse. My questions is: for how long or what to expect on his recovery?. He will continue taking Naltrexon every day.. I don't know much about this terminology. Thank you so much doo for the information COWS. I do appreciate your help. Luzestella
Really it is up to him now, he can take advil for pain and loperamide for upset stomach. There is a member here named Maso, if it is Spanish you speak, he is fluent in spanish. You can try to look him up by going to the community member directory and do a private question to him if you would like, Or I will alert him, if you speak spanish. If it is another language, try posting in that language like you did for this question, and someone here may speak it.
I just want to wish you and your son luck moving forward and good health
