Hi folks, I'm new to this method and asked my GP for a perscription but she said she wasn't licensed to write a perscription for nal, really bummed me out b/c I'm hands down alcoholic - been drinking daily for more than 20 years and I need to find help outside of AA but I think the insurance companies are in bed with the program and are making a crap load of money on this vicious problem. Anyway, I did order from Canada but it would be much better if I could find a doctor who would perscribe it - anyone here from Annapolis and been successfull finding a doctor in the area? Also, I think it would be smart to find a support group so if you have any success there that would be helpful as well.

Bummed in Annapolis....

Hi there this is Xavier I got my prescription thru a psychologist I was referred to by my primary doctor I can give you all the info if you want feel free to contact me! this Really works I have been on it for over 4 months, here is my info xaviernett7@yahoo.com best of luck

Once the pills, arrive, plan ahead and order a bunch of new pills online. Don't fight the system, beat the system.

Hi there Barry!

So my doctor actually gave me the name of a 'pain' specialist who she thinks might perscribe nal - now I have to find the strength to make an apt - it's embarrassing when you ask for a specific drug and they say no - feel like a drug addict or something.

Question for ya.... did you use mediatation or any other processes to become AF? I keep reading that the nal alone is not enough and I should be doing mediation and other things. What do you think now that you have success....?

I still wish there were face-to-face support groups but I can't find any

Hope you're doing well!

I never used any other drugs (other than Benadryl for sleep and caffeine for wakey-wakey -- mostly due to night shift work). If Naltrexone works very well for you (i.e. nearly instantly decreases intake), you shouldn't need anything else. Who knows, though? I don't think this is a highly researched subject (which combo of drugs works best?).

The "pain specialist" is likely only going to be into Low-Dose Naltrexone, which is a miniscule 4mg a day or some such. A Rx. would practically be useless. Again, what is the goal you're trying to achieve with an actual prescription?

It was super easy for me to order from all daychemist.com! Go for it. It's for a good cause!

I agree - don't fight the system beat the system.... order from Canada if your doctor won't work with you.

I used River Pharmacy (who ordered from India) and I received the right product in 2 weeks to New Jersey.

Alldaychemist for me. So far 3 orders were all OK.

All Day Chemist for me also. You order online without a prescription. It arrives promptly, and all of my orders have been fine. I was once out of town, and the post office sent the package back. As soon as I returned, I called them, and they immediately sent it back at no charge to me. They're great!

Hi folks! I think my 'goal' with a perscription would be to 1. have a US doctor looking out for my health and 2. let my insurance cover the cost of the RX.... but ... if like you said Barry, the mg would be that low it's just not worth it and I can just continue being 'monitored' by my GP.

I've now got a couple of boxes so I'll prob order more just to be on the safe side from the Canadian co.

Thanks everyone for your advice!
