(Elizabeth wrote)Yeah, Revia is a brand name of naltrexone. (Another one I've heard is Trexan.)
The active ingredients in kudzu root are alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitors, I think...it doesn't work the same way
as naltrexone does, anyway.////Sorry for being so....dumb....but are you saying that Naltrexone is, then, the generic of Revia? And what is Trexan? Haven't heard of that one. Also, I attended a workshop at the State Mental Health Convention on the Neurobiology of Addiction and the psychiatrist mentioned Kudzuroot and I was under the impression that he was inferring this worked in the same manner as Naltrexone. In what way do you know it to be effective? Thanks for any info you have!
