Naltrexone is an opiate-blocker which is a highly competitive µ-opioid receptor antagonist. It fills receptors without triggering a response by the cell. This blocks the effects of other opiates which can no longer exert their effects. I’m not sure why this protects against withdraw symptom, unless I’m correct in assuming that because of the increased propensity of µ-opioid receptors and thus sensitivity to endogenous opioids the antagonist action has a normalizing effect.
I have no idea what you just said. I ‘ll have to research that statement if it’s relevant. I’m not a doctor, I’m just a well experienced well read, old guy, although I do have a degree it is not a medical degree….hahahaha..
OMG!! I was saying the same thing! That makes no since, right? I believe that its just like suboxone or methadone, you have to keep taking them to keep the cravings away! Im willing to try Ibogaine.
