Has anybody here had experience with naltrexone? I recently started taking it because the cravings were so strong I couldn’t take it anymore. My only side effects have been mild muscle and joint pain, slight nausea, and decreased appetite. Also, I tried to drink a beer while on it and it just made me feel sick so I threw it away. I got sober last June and I slipped up a few times since then, but this medicine has helped me a ton. Curious if anybody has had a similar or different experience.

    It worked wonders for me at the start, but I seem to have pushed through and am now drinking almost as much again. I do feel more like I could quit now and it’s more out of habit than urge.

      I wonder if you need to up your dose? Were you on the 50mg?
