In reply to Help....naltrexone - what's your experience?, posted by Emme on April 5, 2002, at 7:28:21
This is an interesting article I found that deals with the use of narcotic antagonists like naltrexone in the treatment of OCD. It is fairly long, so I will not reprint it here.

> My doctor is having me try a little naltrexone because I'm having some breakthrough depression while on Lamictal. When I tried Celexa a while back for a boost I started cycling. I'm gradually raising Lamictal again, but it sounds like the naltrexone would act quickly. This is a new class of drug for me and I was just wondering what kinds of experiences people have had with it. Did it help depression? Did it help anything else? Urges to...um...give oneself wee little cuts..? Side effects?
