Good to hear from you Movergirl,

Is there a reason you went to the injections? I am sure it is in your progress pages, but I was just curious.

I am not a good pill taker. I go every 4 weeks to the doctor, get a shot in the butt and I'm good for 4 weeks. The mail order specialty pharmacy where I order the injection from reminds me when it is time to reorder, I do so online and it overnighted to my doctor's office.

So my gd an i have talked about the importance of not missing naltrexone... At least on drinking days.

A few days ago she started taking NAL that I cut along with a Wellbutrin. The first couple of day she drank like usual. Yesterday, she started a little later and drank quite a bit, but not atypical for a weekend. But did say she was done and wanted to come home. Today I was surprised that it was after 7 pm and she noted she had not had a drink all day.... I've never seen that in for years and most days she is six to twelve in by seven. She had two and called it quits.

Again, she is taking NAL and Wellbutrin to lose weight... Certainly cutting alcohol will help.

We have had a rough few months... Has not gotten any easier with me being cranky and short tempered with the NAL and reduced drinking.... And also because when she is drunk and I am not, it get on my nerves.

Today however was a pleasant day.

NAL on!

Hi ONM. I know this is an older thread, but I am wondering how the Wellbutrin and Naltrexone went for your GF? I am looking to take Wellbutrin for depression, Naltrexone for TSM and if the two together could help me lose the 25 lbs that I'd like to, that would be wonderful!

Thanks in advance for an update.

Hi.... she has lost at least 25 lbs. Probably more. She does not like to discuss her weight, so I don't ask. But I do know it is at least 25lbs. She has gotten older clothes back out and the difference physically is very noticeable.

She has since quit the two meds and I notice her drinking is still heavy. But she does eat less.... especially junk stuff and does a lot more physical work.

I did not lose much weight on the two. But my drinking is very much in control.

My dictor has added modafinil for me because of my sleep apnea and the weight is dropping steadily the last few months..... but that is a different discussion.
