I have not taken Vivitrol (sustained release naltrexone), but I have been taking oral naltrexone (20mg/day) the past week to help with cravings and stop my once-every-two-week kratom relapses.
I was afraid naltrexone would make me feel depressed and block even my "natural" opiates, but that has not been the case at all. If anything, I actually feel a little better on it. I would love to get Vivitrol but my insurance situation is a mess right now (moving between states), so if you have the opportunity I would try it.
For the most part, it doesn't do much for mood other than end the constant thought loops of "should I get high?" because its impossible to get high on opiates while on naltrexone.
