Hi.I arrived here round about then. There was a lot of excitement surrounding it because: a pdoc called Lee Dante (I think) posted 'amazing' results with SSRI+Naltrexone online somewhere, and a poster here (WayneR, I think) posted numerous times on his reported success with this combination. I think he was the only one though.
Upon my request, my pdoc wrote to the manufacturers for their advice. Perhaps not surprisingly they expressly advised against its usage in this context. They were actually not aware of this combination and the only reports they could provide were from - wait for it - Dr Dante and WayneR.
FWIW, I imported it myself and tried it in combination with Seroxat. It didn't help, but then not much does. FWIW.
I've read nothing about it since mention of it disappeared from this board.
