When I first started taking Naltrexone I was already taking Nortriptyline (Pamelor)and Zyprexa. I initially started taking the Naltrexone to stop my cravings for alcohol. It's bad enough to be depressed but add alcoholic to that and it's a real pain. The Naltrex did a good job on the cravings and had the side benefit of working as an AD augmentor. My pdoc was surprised at the time that it had an AD effect but has now tried it on others.
Since my start I have added Wellbutrin and Adderall for reasons unrelated to the Naltrexone. I am just looking for something that will get me to the point of being "happy". I know it's a lot to ask but I'm trying to work my way throught the activating meds at this point. MY depression is under control but I do need something to get me to the point that I know how to feel good.
Best of luck if you try this,
