I'll start by saying I'm doing very good on staying sober. I like to read on SR, I go to AA meetings throughout the week and talk weekly one on one with a drug and alcohol counselor. After talking with my counselor about my cravings he highly recommended Vivitrol by injection. I figured I'm willing to try if it helps. So, I had my first shot almost 2 weeks ago and notice absolutely no change in anything. I still crave just the same. I don't want to just give it up but I don't want to continue getting an expensive shot if the results are unnoticeable. Any opinions or suggestions? Keep in mind I had some sober time leading up to my first injection.

Hi ZMan,

Hope all is well and you figure this out with your doctor. I think the response will be somewhat limited here because of the

"DO NOT give or ask for Medical advice."

rule.

Again congrats on staying sober.

I have no experience with it at all I'm afraid, but others will

Have you spoke to a Dr ?

The medical advice rule can be tricky for newcomers

If anyone has personal experience, they're welcome to share it so long a they are mindful of the rule.

Recommending something for others, for example, would be medical advice
