Alcohol Dependence
"I started drinking 10 years ago, and drank 10-15 per day. After 30 days on Naltrexone, I&#039;ve had 2 beers.. the last 3 weeks ago. 



What the drug did was take away any &quot;reward&quot; from alcohol, so drinking a beer is no different from drinking a cup of tea. In this way, it gave me the choice back. I didn&#039;t think I&#039;d ever be able to quit, and suddenly drinking is no longer interesting to me. 



I had some minor side effects for the first week, including loss of appetite, restlessness, and a little nausea - but all of those subsided quickly. I am sober for the first time in my adult life and I can&#039;t believe how much better it is. 



If you know you need to break up with alcohol, look into naltrexone.. it changed my life."
