    This actually worked for me, trying it the 2nd time around though. The 1st time was the wrong dosage. I drank a bottle of Vodka a day for 11 years. It took away my cravings and my ocd thoughts about alcohol. If you are thinking about trying it, you definitely should.

      I am trying it for the second time as well. Congrats! For me, it's strange - it feels like I just ate a big meal, even thought I didn't. The craving is not there anymore. I even try to drink some wine, but I can't finish it. I'm not complaining though! I definitely needed something like this in my life.

    Drank a bottle of whiskey daily for 2.5 years. Couldn't go 1 day with out drinking. After 2 weeks I was able to go weeks at a time without booze. It has been 4 months without alcohol now. If you are actually addicted to alcohol, take this.

      I tried it for about a month, took it first thing in the morning so even if I did drunk, the alcohol wouldn’t get me drunk so I wouldn’t feel the need to drink during the day so to speak, now I’m gonna start taking it again tmrw

      I drank hard stuff mainly like Jim bean and Bacardi, I had problems in the 🛏 a little bit and felt a mix of fogginess and anxiety. I just took my first tablet in months I’ll let u know how I feel!! It defiently does help you stay away from alcohol at least for me it did.

    I use Naltrexone for severe all over body itching. I’ve had to use it for many years. That’s strange to me that it’s used too, for binge drinking. I don’t drink alcohol. I never acquired a taste for alcohol. Not even beer.
