Alcohol Dependence
"I started taking naltrexone about 3 days ago. 6 1/2 weeks ago, I began detox/withdrawal in an inpatient setting for anorexia. I could have never gone from a fifth of vodka a day for 2+ years without this medical intervention.

After detoxing with librium I started campral (still in inpatient with no access to alcohol). I started naltrexoneon in addition to campral (and other meds for bipolar, anxiety, depression) 3 days ago. I returned home today and I&#039;m sad to admit I chugged about 1/4 bottle, not remembering I was on naltrexone. I recognize that I&#039;m quite heavy headed but I feel bored and lethargic rather than uninhibited as i normally would.

I am so happy to have access to a drug to take away the influence alcohol had on my life."
