> I live in Costa Rica and am considering kicking my codeine habit with naltrexone. Quite a few drugs that are not available in the US are over the counter here so I was wondering if this one is or where to look for iformation on it.
Naltrexone is just supposed to help with cravings after you're off the opiate. It also discourages you from using opiates while you are taking it because even if you use, you won't get high. I took it for a while. It didn't help with cravings, it did keep me from getting high when I used opiates and it made me nauseated (but so do opiates).
Good luck. Just quit using Lortab/vicodin recreationally/abusively a couple months ago myself.
