Taking Naltrexone to fight Alcohol use disorder

Naltrexone is a medication used to help people with alcohol use disorder. It works by blocking the effects of alcohol in the brain, reducing cravings and the pleasure associated with drinking. This makes it easier for someone to cut back or stop drinking altogether.

However, medication alone may not be enough to fully recover from alcohol use disorder. This is where support groups can be helpful. Support groups provide a space for individuals to connect with others who are going through similar experiences. This can provide emotional support, encouragement, and motivation to stay sober. Some popular support groups for alcohol use disorder include Alcoholics Anonymous and SMART Recovery.

It's important to note that naltrexone may have side effects, such as nausea, headache, and fatigue. However, these side effects usually go away after a few days. In rare cases, more serious side effects may occur, such as liver problems, but this is very uncommon. It's always important to talk to a healthcare provider before starting any medication.

Here are some positive stories about naltrexone use

One of the review on drugs.com says 

"I've been a active alcoholic for 10 years. Started socially. I went through treatment once and relapsed. Alcoholism for me has given me depression, anxiety, insomnia, OCD, stress, and the worse of them all racing thoughts. Classic right? 

I'm on day 4, but noticed the difference RIGHT away. It made me a bit queasy and in a daze of some sort, but I slept wonderfully and woke up at EASE and I have been everyday since I started.

 I have NO cravings whatsoever for alcohol, the thought of it actually repulses me. Anyways, I agree with everyone saying that this medication is God sent. Remaining steady with my thoughts has helped me already socially, with my kids and my job. I have happy tears to of finally found something that held onto me for YEARS"

One of the review on drugs.com says 

"I was a heavy (beer) alcoholic for 40 years. My new wife told me about Naltrexone and I opted to give it a try because I don't ever want to lose this amazing woman because of my drunken stupidity. I had gotten my first ever DUI in 2018 and it was most embarrassing both for my wife and myself. I started taking it Nov 2019 and that same morning after I took it, I usually would have about 2 beers when I first get up. I took the pill and of course, with a beer. 

I didn't feel like having another beer for several hours. I was so thirsty though and began drinking tons of water that day. My wife then introduced me to the many flavors of Gatorade (to my surprise, I love them all). 

It's now Dec 12/2019 and I crave maybe 2 or 3 beers a day instead of 10-12. My wife said if I can just be a casual beer drinker, she's okay with that. Me too. I feel so much better already. I had no idea how clear life really is.. when Sober. Thanks Naltrexone. You saved me and my new marriage."

"I started drinking in high school, alcoholism runs in my family and I started early. I tried AA and 5 rehab facilities but always started drinking again. I never had any will power or control, but alcoholics rarely do. 

Over 10 years ago now a doctor asked me if I wanted to try this medication called Naltrexone and it worked from day one. It took away my cravings, changed the way I functioned, my entire life. 

At 46 years old I was sober and staying sober for the first time. I now have a little over 10 years sobriety. Run don't walk to your doctor to try this medication. It can give you the life we use to only dream of. Good luck!"
