I am only on my second day for alcohol and food cravings, so can't judge it long term so far no cravings. My biggest surprise was that I have chronic joint pain due to arthritis and take motrin like crazy. The past 2 days minimal pain no need for even Tylenol. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Naltrexone has changed my life. I wish I would have known about it years ago. It would have prevented a lot of problems in my life from drinking too much. Now, I no longer have cravings and don't even care if I never drink again.

The side effects were too much for me to continue use. Please note that there are withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking naltrexone.

This is my second attempt with Nal, the first time I tried the Sinclair method for a year and a half, I stopped taking it because i found I felt neither highs or lows, just even all the time, yes that should be great but in life we need to feel something thats why we have endorphin's, Nal seemed to block enjoyment from everything including exercise and food, so to rebel against that feeling I ...

This is my second attempt with Nal, the first time I tried the Sinclair method for a year and a half, I stopped taking it because i found I felt neither highs or lows, just even all the time, yes that should be great but in life we need to feel something thats why we have endorphin's, Nal seemed to block enjoyment from everything including exercise and food, so to rebel against that feeling I drank more and more and became a heavier drinker..rather then embracing what it was trying to achieve I rebelled against it.. so if you don't do that.. Nal will work over time..i noticed a lot of reviews are from people who have only been on the drug a short time, I just wanted to point out Nal has a honeymoon period where you wont feel like drinking to the point of indifference, its awesome! and from my experience and research unfortunately as the body gets used to the drug it does not last, the habit tends to muscle over the indifference in time..however don't give up on it...perseverance is key, this drug will stop the high of drinking, essentially take out all the fun..eventually this translates to, why drink! If you do drink you'll also maintain control to a point as though sober, this can also be dangerous as you might drink more thinking your ok but your not. Nal is designed to break the reward your brain receives from drinking so for the brain to relearn or rewire it will need time to break the cycle, in conclusion...worth a try guys..anything is worth a try to get rid of this monkey on our backs.
