"Battled a 6-year prescription opiate addiction, with a good 5 years in and out of withdrawals trying to get clean, never working and landing myself in the hospital twice, once for a week and lucky to be alive. Tried a suboxone program but wanted to be properly free from the opiate bindings and feel again. Since being on Naltrexone, I have not thought, cared, or desired any opiate. Totally free from my mind and able to get on with my life, feeling, and feeling great. As an added bonus, my in-and-out battle with alcohol has gone the exact same way, also dropping other destructive impulsive behavior. Just don't care about it. The first week I had brutal lethargy but after dealing with years of withdrawals, it was cake, no side effects since then. Life saver."

"I have been on Revia for a few months now, and it's the best thing I could do for myself. I have no cravings, but the main side effect for me is I'm never hungry. I've lost about 10 lbs in 2 months, I have absolutely no desire to eat. Another side effect is my sex drive went down, and I don't feel things sexually now, which is frustrating. But totally worth it to be staying sober."

"This medication has helped me exponentially. I was addicted to opiates for the past 8 years. I was in and out of hospitals with no positive outcome in sight, this is the first time I have been able to maintain any kind of sobriety. Along with other support, the cravings have never been so minimal. All I can say is that I'm truly happy that I was prescribed this medication."
