The first day I was real tired, the next few days I just felt strange, by the fifth day my body adjusted and this is nothing short of a miracle drug for me. It's not a drug for those still drinking or drinking occassionally! Stop and use this, along with counseling, etc. this could be very effective for those that can tolerate it.

Med was working well for a week or so, almost no drinking at all. I stopped taking it due to some sexual side effects,(mostly lack of sensation) and promptly fell off the wagon and was run over. Am trying it again, it really worked when I took it. I originally posted here last november.

I am a 34yr old working mother, and had a problem with alcohol for the past 2 years. I did not grow up with alcohol and didn't drink until I was 30yrs old. I drank due to stress in my life. After trying to quit dozens of times wrecking my car and almost loosing my husband, I went to a non-traditional rehab program that used Naltrexone. I received the Vivitrol inj. and am also using campral and Zofran. The results are amazing. My craving for alcohol went down to almost nothing, it helped with my anxiety and just put me on an even playing ground to be able to resist temptation. I did have some nausea and a headache as side effect, but I consider that minor for getting my life back. I've been sober 52 days!!!!

Today is my first day and I just took a 1/2 a pill. I haven't NOT drank AT LEAST a bottle of wine or champagne (and usually more) for years. I had some dizziness and a little "buzz" with this drug today. That started an hour after I took my 1st 1/2 pill, and lasted for about 3.5 hours. BUT I had to small glasses of wine with dinner (probably 6 ounces total) and corked the bottle! ... Show Full Comment

I had some dizziness and a little "buzz" with this drug today. That started an hour after I took my 1st 1/2 pill, and lasted for about 3.5 hours. BUT I had to small glasses of wine with dinner (probably 6 ounces total) and corked the bottle! I didn't know you didn't HAVE TO FINISH IT! The wine was good, but more for accompanying dinner (brie, chocolate) instead of getting hammered. So far, so good. I'll post later too.
