We have been giving him the Naltrexone every night before bed as a cream form and haven't seen any benefits or negatives from it really. We are stopping usage now that we are out of it. :)<br /><br />We don't want to "cure" him, just give him all the support and treatment possible to make him have the healthiest and best life he can. He is very behind in speech and language, and we have noticed that his diet greatly reflects the amount of speech he has or does not have. What were you speaking of when you said to maybe give him a little something for the pain of external stimuli? Like a drug of some sort? Just curious...<br /><br />Thanks again.Jade, Mike, and Gabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15160015138256140252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8076449763223765190.post-74657184397863886292009-10-02T00:03:07.666-04:002009-10-02T00:03:07.666-04:00Naltrexone is an opioid receptor antagonist used p...Naltrexone is an opioid receptor antagonist used primarily in the management of alcohol dependence and opioid dependence. It is marketed in generic form as its hydrochloride salt, naltrexone hydrochloride, and marketed under the trade names Revia and Depade. In some countries including the United States, an extended-release formulation is marketed under the trade name Vivitrol. Also in the US, Methylnaltrexone Bromide, a closely related drug, is marketed as Relistor, for the treatment of Opioid Induced Constipation. It should not be confused with naloxone, which is used in emergency cases of overdose rather than for longer-term dependence control. While both naltrexone and naloxone are full antagonists and will treat an opioid overdose, naltrexone is longer-acting than naloxone, making naloxone a better emergency antidote.<br /><br />Naltrexone helps patients overcome urges to abuse opiates by blocking the drugs’ euphoric effects. Some patients do well with it, but the oral formulation, the only one available to date, has a drawback: It must be taken daily, and a patient whose craving becomes overwhelming can obtain opiate euphoria simply by skipping a dose before resuming abuse.<br /><br />Basically, it prevents them from getting no added benefit from . It'd be about the same action. I'd only recommend if your son was self injurious. I wouldn't be recommending much, then. Mind you, I'm no physician; I just know how to read.<br /><br />Um, just out of curiousity, why'd you want to cure a high functioner? All he needs is more acceptance outside the home, and maybe a little something for the pain that external stimuli during fixation would bring him.De Chaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00262684310935295017noreply@blogger.com
