DuPont's ReVia 50mg Naltrexone pill weighs 315mg

[Guest guest]

Many of us on the Histamine/LDN Message Board at:

http://disc.server.com/Indices/148285.html

have been making our own doses for years by pulverizing the pill and

then measuring what we want to take when we want to take it.

Since the ReVia pill is 16% Naltrexone and 84% filler, you need to

take 19mg of powder to get 3mg of Naltrexone or 28mg of powder to get

4.5mg of Naltrexone.

I switched the way I was making my Naltrexone a year ago and mad this

Post:

On August 1, 2002 I posted as to how I was scooping 3mg doses of LDN

from pulverized " ReVia " 50mg Naltrexone tablets by measuring the

powder with a button glued to a thin spatula blade. Most of the

emails I received stated they were having a hard time finding that

specific button and I have been saying I would look for a better

measurer - well here is one that is a bit better:

There is a chain of stores called JoAnn Fabric and Crafts. In those

stores are a section with a rack of craft Beads. Most of the bead

packets on the rack are made by " Darice Craft Designer " . There are

numerous sizes and colors but the size I bought was " CRAFT BEADS 7MM

WEE PONY " 59cents. If this bead is superglued to end of a thin

spatula, knife blade or flat toothpick it becomes a good measuring

spoon for powdered " ReVia " Naltrexone tablets. I have measured scoops

of " ReVia " powder with my 1mg electronic scale and determined that a

scoop that leaves the edges of the bead visable contains 3mg of

Naltrexone and a moderate heaping scoop that covers the bead edges

contains 4.5mg of Naltrexone. It is virtually impossible to make a

heaping scoopful that reaches 5mg - in fact I can't do it.

I have been taking Homemade Naltrexone just for general health

maintenance for 6 months now and have used this method to quarantee

freshness of each dose. Before I go to bed, I take one scoop

of " ReVia " Naltrexone powder and put it in a 1oz jar with water,

shake it up, drink it and chase it down with a little more water. No

worry about " Fast Release Fillers " - My Naltrexone is working from

the time it hits the back of my tongue.

REMEMBER: 50mg " ReVia " Naltrexone Tablets can be purchased abroad

legally or one could try to convince their GP they need some to break

an addiction. The Tablet itself is 16% Naltrexone and 84% Filler.

Hand held Pill Pulverizers are sold in all Drug Stores. 19mg of the

Powder contains 3mg of Naltrexone and 28mg of the Powder contains

4.5mg of Naltrexone.
