Letting the naltrexone roll for booze [View all]

Last edited Mon Sep 10, 2018, 11:02 AM - Edit history (1)

Had a follow up with doc this morning was asked how it’s working. I told him hey in two months I tried one bender and I stopped after like maybe eight beers. It was like my brain was telling me you have had enough before naltrexone I’d been knocking them back. So does it work yes it seems to work for me do I want to stop taking it no I am fearful of stopping.
I’m weak and ruled by Alcoholism never was violent drinker but once I started I couldn’t stop.

Now doc is looking at other medicine he said were available along lines of naltrexone some of them were monthly injections. I said well why change because this works and he said naltrexone was developed as new form methodone and they noticed. Heroin addicts were not drinking to substitute on naltrexone So just saying if anyone is suffering from alcoholism and just can’t seem to get there feet under them with the rooms AA. Maybe this would help you letting you all know. And if you want dm me questions I’ll try my best to explain side effects or how I feel I just love people and addiction sucks ass.
