In reply to Naltrexone side effects?, posted by zonked on May 8, 2016, at 11:07:48
Naltrexone never impacted my response to alcohol at all. It's an opioid antagonist. If you're taking it after being on opioids, depression is a common side effect, until your endorphins come back. My p-doc prescribed vigorous exercise and very low doses for a few weeks to prevent depression. I don't understand why naltrexone is used for alcohol dependence I drank on naltrexone without any effect at all.
