alcohol dependence
"It's day 4 for me on naltrexone. First day I took 25mg and it made me a little sedated. Went to dinner, couldn't finish my wine, had a glass later knowing cold turkey is a bad idea. I was 1 to 1.5 bottle of wine drinker daily. Next night took a 12.5mg, had maybe 6 oz wine, next night 2 corona lights, and next night one beer. No cravings at all, no shaking. I had some irritability but I think that's to be expected. This drug has made is easy to wean off alcohol. Alcoholism killed my father and ruined my marriage. Both of us drank. No bueno. I am very vocal with family about my desire to quit. I tried a few times before and naltrexone is a godsend. Good luck all!"
