There are no known interactions, but it is always smart to check with your doctor first before changing/combining any medications. Especially with a drug such as Vivtrol, it should be closely monitored if the patient is having any medical drugs or procedures given to them from any other doctor than the one that is prescribing the Vivitrol...because of the nature of the drug. Or should I say the nature of the condition that is being treated.

Does vivitrol block the effects of marijuana?

No. I'm actually read something that said it may enhance mood/effects of smoking but also worsen cardiac effects. Although i'm skeptical off this. I'm on vivitrol now and can tell you marijuana works just fine. Alcohol is noticeably decreased pleasure wise, motor coordination effected, feels kinda gross, with no positive mood effects. And opiates, don't even bother trying

Vivitrol is used to treat opioid dependence. It cannot cure addiction but works by binding to opioid receptors and blocks them from being activated by opioid use.

What if I took suboxone while on vivitrol shot?

Taking Suboxone while on a Vivitrol shot is not recommended, as both medications are used to treat opioid dependence but work differently. Vivitrol (naltrexone) blocks the effects of opioids, while Suboxone (buprenorphine and naloxone) partially activates opioid receptors. Using them together could lead to withdrawal symptoms or a reduction in the effectiveness of either medication. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional before making any changes to your treatment plan.
