> I found Naltrexone by accident. My wife brought home an article about the fight against alcoholism that said that Nalttrexone was being used succesfully so I asked my psych for it. I've now been on it for 4 weeks and haven't felt better at this time of year in a long time. I'm very med resistant so I jumped right in with 50mg a day at bedtime.Now I take Nortriptyline, Zyprexa, Naltrexone and Celexa but I'm phasing out the Celexa which was the first attempt at augmenting the Nortrip. I've always been resistant to the SSRI's for some reason.

> I hope all goes well with your trial. I know it's made a noticable difference in me within the first week.Thanks. Judging from the weak response it seems there must be very few people doing this. Chris, if I may ask, was your primary reason for starting on Naltrex to reduce alcohol consumption or as an AD augmentation. Was it successful in reducing desire for alcohol?
