A far better approach is the monthly shot given by a nurse. It is more expensive, but a grant may be available. In applying for the grant it may occur to you that you will likely get a better chance at the grant by padding your alcoholism with opioid abuse, but can such a add-on trouble you later or this all confidential. Regardless, the shot far exceeds any AA program or pill. It has changed my life. The pill, not so much.

I am a no off switch black out drinker. I was so hopeful in this drug. I was extremely disappointed.. It made me crazy, edgy, and completely pass out - like couldnâ??t revive pass out. I hate it.

This medication does NOT reduce cravings. Go google "does naltrexone reduce alcohol cravings" if you don't believe me. Many reviews here claim it does, it does NOT.

After a week of detoxing safely after drinking heavily and in and out of the hospital over 200 times in 5 years (only 31 years old), I started taking 50 mg a day in the morning and have had no desire of drinking. This plus s good aa group and sponsor has helped me obtain sobriety. Highly recommend!!

I had a habit of drinking in the late afternoon daily, and after being prescribed this, I have no interest in drinking. I have had a few drinks since I started it a month ago, but I don’t get any enjoyment out of the experience and am amazed that I have no desire to drink.
