Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 If it's the same stuff, then what is wrong with the generic from Barr Lab? Seems they would be the same ingredients, just one has Revia on it and they make it cost more. Are there different Naltrexones out there? Some not as good or what? I don't understand it at all and I'm back to normal after 3 doses of Mexico Revia and I don't want to go backwards again.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 The problem since the advent of “generic” medications is that although they supposedly are the same, that is not necessarily true. Even though the same ingredients are used, manufacturing processes differ from facility to facility within companies, not to mention between companies. Therefore, REVIA from DuPont and REVIA from Barr have the same ingredients as does Naltrexone from Barr, but how they are assembled can make a difference in how they react. Sounds strange, but alas, it is so. I worked for many years as a research mechanical engineer developing dispense mechanisms for chemicals. One of the things I found out was that our equipment when moved from company to company to make the same product always had to be tweaked to produce satisfactory results simply because of how things are put together in the manufacturing process. So, REVIA from DuPont could most possibly be different not in composition but in bonded characteristics due to a slight variation in the manufacturing process and for some reason, you see a difference because your body is put together differently than mine or someone else’s. Strange but alas, true.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 The Revia I obtained from www.medsmex.com is from Bristol Myers Squibb.It is made by them in New York and distributed by them in Mexico.The Box is written in Spanish as are the directions etc. I don't know how others are measuring the effectiveness of their Revia or LDN, but I can tell you that this batch packs a wallop.My first few nights on 4.5 mg sent me through the roof, and the following mornings I had anxiety attacks and the "wet dog shakes".I had to back down to 3 mg for a week.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Are you the one that was drinking Coffee? Did you ever stop the caffeine and see how went on 4.5mgs? Yes, I think there is something different about the medsmex Revia and I want this Revia from now one. I'm just glad I tried the medsmex Revia to begin with or I would have been disappointed and not got the great results I have.
