Hey Wayne,I was just wondering if you take any other drugs other than the 20mg Prozac and 25mg Naltrexone. Do you take anything to get a good nights sleep? How about anxiety? I've read that Revia can help alieviate anxiety but I've also read it can make it worse. What's your experience? Thanks for all your posts. I'm planning on showing them to my doctor. I'm being treated for OCD and I've read an article that Revia can help with the OCD. Looking forward to your response. Thanks again.
Mike
