You really naltrexone when you drink, and only when you drink. They also advise drinking somewhat frequently at the start so your brain can quickly break the connection between alcohol and having a really good time. Once it is broken you do need to continue using naltrexone every time you want a drink or over time you will go back to being addicted. But it is generic and not expensive to get.

Where did you get it generic and cheaply from? My primary won't prescribe it.

There is a chapter in this book "for the physician."

If you have brought this to your physician, and you are still refused, get a new physician. Request all your records, and depart.

GoodRX will let you price compare. Most sources are under $2 per pill.

You can either get a new doctor or buy from India.

I’m confused. When I googled Naltrexone, it warns: “Alcohol: Avoid. Very serious interactions can occur”. So are you supposed to take it hours before drinking or something else?

> When I googled Naltrexone, it warns: “Alcohol: Avoid. Very serious interactions can occur”.

The whole point of using Naltrexone to treat alcohol abuse is to use the adverse reactions to foster aversion to counteract the desire to drink.

It is Definitely safe to take with alcohol. Not sure where your seeing that it's not.

> It is Definitely safe to take with alcohol. Not sure where your seeing that it's not.

“It is for some people less unsafe, in a very specific treatment model, with alcohol than continuing untreated alcohol dependence is” would be more accurate.
