I can see how people are afraid to block what little pleasure they feel naturally. But I think people don't notice the depression Nalx creates, because people who self medicate with alcohol are coming from a place of depression already. I like the blunted anxiety.
I’ve taken exactly three doses of naltrexone and experienced restlessness while sleeping and bad lethargy the next day, all three times.
When I was prescribed Naltraxone 50 mg, I instantly became incredibly depressed every time it kicked in. I cried long and hard every time I took it. Hysterically crying. It was torture. I was just so incredibly sad for seemingly no reason, and felt no joy till it was long out of my system.
Yeah... fuck naltrexone. Why take something that blocks your ability to even feel natural pleasure? It really doesn't make sense to me. Science needs to keep sciencing and come up with something better.
@@lachousalle31I’m the same. I’m one week into the course of it now on 50mg a day to reduce alcohol cravings after abstaining for two weeks prior to starting treatment and I can feel no pleasure at all. Somethings not right. I think I’m gonna bin them and try something else. Such a weird feeling !
Campral or however you spell it is a miracle for our alcoholic patients. Please try this instead!!! ❤
I just took my second one, 50 mg, and I am extremly depressed, nauseous and have a migraine. I'm going to stop and contact my doctor. This is horrible.
I don't know how some people drink on vivitrol maybe its just me but drank on it 5 days ago and can't sleep more than a few hours a night when I'm on it ive ever took my sleeping pills on it too last night and other medications but this is hell anxiety I'm not sure if drinking alone is this bad this is why people relapse trying to stop the anxiety
I take 12.5 mg nal at night for cravings. But my cravings only kick in when I get home from work. The next day I feel a flat affect. Nal is great if you have cravings all day I suppose but for sundown drinkers you really have to weigh the pros and cons.
Thank you for the video. I recently learned about the Sinclair method and how it can be a lot more successful than abstinence with naltrexone. If you wanted to drink and you took a naltrexone but it curbed your desire before the hour was up, should you still drink?
For TSM, yes, I think you are supposed to. It works off of Pavlov's principles. You drink while on Naltrexone so that you no longer get the good feeling while drinking...therefore your brain rewires it's association with drinking.
How can I get this prescription?
We recommend talking to your doctor, though many physicians are not aware of this medication. Also, get in touch with the C Three Foundation, founded by actress and author Claudia Christian, for more information on naltrexone.

Naltrexone decreased my sexual pleasure by like 80%, lower libido and weaker orgasms, oddly also less tiredness after climax. Been off LDN for 3 weeks now, will this go away?
Hey! Did your problem go away with time? I wish you the best :)
@@lovelymeidiland7803 hi, thanks no, it only improved slightly, but the core problem still unchanged … I m every week on Reddit and here to find new approaches and supplements
same here. been taking it for 3 months and hasnt returned to normal. hopefully when stopping the meds it will
@@andrewkapaldo5131I m Sorry to hear…I stopped 1 yr ago, still numbed emotions (sex and gambling etc not exciting) music still mildly works, but the excessive highs seem gone. Did you get also tinnitus sounds when you took it? That shit does something to the brain…
Ironically, SSRI's and the theory of chemical imbalance was recently found to be nonsense in the largest ever meta analysis study on the subjects published in Molecular Biology July 20, 2022.
There is robust documentation of ssris decreasing rates of relapse of depression. Not necessarily curing depression. Higher amounts of Serotonin can cause more neuroplasticity.
Took this today and it was the worst experience ever. It was like when they gave zolof. It made me go crazy and want to hurt people. This shot is garbage for me.
so did you get the shot or the pills? I just got a prescription for the pills for alcoholism but im afraid to take them.
@@flipnap2112I took one yesterday, my anxiety went through the roof but when I did drink it was worth the pleasure of being able to “drink normally”. Although I’ve been awake for 21 hours and it’s not looking like I’ll be getting any sleep any time soon.
@@JamieCleaton1 thanks for the reply. oh man that sounds horrible. I already suffer from bad insomnia as it is and bad anxiety. I dont know if I want to chance it.
