User Reviews for Naltrexone

Revia (naltrexone): I spent nearly a decade of my life in and out of rehabs and programs, losing jobs, ending up in hospitals, basically not being able to take care of myself and taking anyone who cared about me down with me. I was usually sober but when I relapsed I would do so much damage in such a short amount of time it really didn't matter. I was recommended Naltexone. I've been sober for almost 2 years now. Allows your mind to think rationally as far as alcohol and drugs are concerned.

Revia (naltrexone): totally took the craving for alcohol away. kept sober for two years - started playing with it after that and stopped taking it - only to start drinking again. good to take when you are getting some support as well.

Vivitrol (naltrexone): I am a chronic alcohol relapser and found the injection helpful. Not only mentally, is it a deterrent. It definitely curbs the "feeling" found in a drink because I did test it. The second shot only makes it more potent and you get better with time. Combined with meetings everyday, and the shot I have a better chance at an alcohol free life.

Vivitrol (naltrexone): I am an alcoholic in recovery and have been sober for over 10 years. I used this drug when it was fairly new and I was in rehab. Seemed to work along with all the other tools given to me at that time. No side effects that I can recall.

naltrexone: I started using this for alcohol dependence. After a month, I asked for my dose to be increased, as I usually have to have a higher dose of anything that I take. After having the dose increased, I have been without cravings. I love naltrexone and have been sober for four months now.

Vivitrol (naltrexone): I am looking forward to my second injection. The obsession of taking a drink has been diminished significantly. I am motivated and happy. I attend 12 step meetings and do everything suggested from the fellowship however, this medication has taken me to the next level in my sobriety. It is merely a band aid to my disease and support is still extremely important. I recommend this medication to any chronic alcoholic who has a problem staying sober.

Vivitrol (naltrexone): I just received my second Vivitrol shot. I am so glad that I did. It has helped curve my cravings and have had no side effects. I've been a heavy drinker for 16 years and have struggled with relapsing for a few years. I know this isn't a cure and this is a daily disease that should never be put on the back burner but not having the cravings where the only thing I can think about is that next drink helps a ton. To anyone that is thinking about trying Vivitrol I would say stop thinking about it and do it.

naltrexone: I rate this medicine a 10 because of the fact that the craving did go away almost instantly. I am taking the low dose tablet. I've only been on it for 2 days, I do have to say though it has made me tired, moody, and I've had a hard time concentrating, especially when driving.

Revia (naltrexone): I have never slept so well or had any withdrawal problems on this medication. This medication is a God-send. I wish I would have taken my therapist's advice and taken it sooner. Being from a family of alcoholics and eventually becoming one myself I was left with no other option but this one. It was my last hope. I can say that this medication works, and works well. You think clearer and your sleep patterns return to normal. Sleeping was a problem for me before. I would recommend anyone with a dependency problem to discuss this medication with their doctor or therapist.
