slipping up

Hi, I am still not sure where to post. I was wandering how long you have to wait after taking an opiate before you can take naltrexone? I went off methadone 15 mg in March. I was perscribed for chronic abdominal pain. Never did find the source of my pain. I have been in severe pain since. Although many people have helped me with wonderful suggestions on here, I ended up taking something for my pain for a weekend. I was able to actaully get some sleep without waking up in pain for the first time in forever. I have read that you have to wait to take naltrexone or it'll throw you into withdrawals, however in detox they did not wait. I am in a ton of pain and after only a weekend of taking opiates I feel like I am withdrawaling again. It may just be in my head. Anyone know anything about naltrexone?
