Very helpful! I just started this medicine 3-4 weeks ago and it is really helping me where I had a problem - that is having one drink but not 5-6. It has really helped me with cravings, and I feel so much better in the morning. Hopefully full abstention will follow (along with weight loss).

I was looking for this, thanks. I'm probably in one of those

Works for me, and takes away the craving and anxiety. I now drink once a week and it takes that desire away to get rolling drunk and binge.

Took my first dose last night, I was withdrawing from drinking the night before (and countless nights before that). I was expecting the sweats and the shakes throughout the night, but not the 30 minute panic attack I had! Was laying down to try and sleep and all of a sudden my thoughts/brain went 100 miles an hour in 100 different directions. Suddenly in my minds eye I saw all of these horrible images, demonic images, stuff out of a horror movie. I sat up in bed and kept my eyes open so I wouldn't see the images, but man I was having dark thoughts and anxiety through the roof! Almost called my doctor but refrained, after 30 minutes the feeling started to subside and after an hour I was back to just the sweats and shaking. I thought for a minute there I might have a seizure. My doc told me not to taper off with this drug, I would highly recommend it! At least quit drinking a few days before trying it or reduce your intake to 1-2 drinks while taking it. Start with half a dose the first night. I will only be taking half tonight or will wait some time between taking 2 half doses. I'm really sick of alcohol being a hindrance on my life and my happiness and am ready for a change!

I thought drinking on naltrexone was the point(?). It takes away the pleasurable effects of alcohol so you eventually just lose interest in drinking, right?

does naltrexone affect the effects of thc?

Can I get healed from alcohol ! Please I have to, it's killing me!

Hi Dr. my question is can patient take neltraxone injection + pill form at same time .Sometime pt is taking vivitrol monthly shot and still if experiencing craving can take pill for that cravings to stop for the movement Thank you
