You don't have to answer this, but were you on any kind of opioid medication within 7 days of them giving you the patch with the naltrexone in it? If so, the naltrexone can induce immediate withdrawal symptoms. My understanding is that it's
supposed to be given only with first-time opioid use, or with a carefully monitored switching procedure to avoid such a reaction.
IIRC, the idea of adding LD neltrexone to opioids is that it eliminates the euphoric effects and retards/prevents tolerance to the opioids.

low dose naltrexone
