I take Naltrexone (ReVia) to reduce alcohol cravings. It also has some mild AD effects as an augmenter. Do a search at the top of the page for Naltrexone. There have been a few threads here over the last year discussing it. I can't remember anybody mentioning its use for eating disorders.

Hi. I took Revia briefly for bulimia about 4 1/2 years ago. For me, the side effects were bad and I didn't see any benefits.
There is another drug which you may consider, although I don't have any personal experience with it: ondansetron. It is mostly used as an anti-nausea drug for chemotherapy patients; however, it has recently become known for success in both alcoholism and bulimia/binge eating disorder. With bulimia and binge eating, it seems to somehow help to reset the body's internal "feeling of fullness," and study participants report eating more normal meals.
This is the end of the thread.
