I am starting Naltrexone on Monday. When I drink wine, will I get the same effect?

I found that the first few times I drank wine on Naltrexone it tasted a bit "tinny". I feel the effects of wine pretty much the same as before TSM.

Nal definitely makes alcohol taste worse to me, and I don't get as giddy / happy drunk as before. It's almost like I get the physiological effects of inebriation (alcohol being a depressant) without the psychological fun stuff.

I guess I am curious how I will feel after taking a pill and the on taking a drink. Does it work because you get no "affect" so you feel as though you may as well be drinking diet coke? Or does it change the taste so much that it's awful? I just wonder if you still get that slight high and relaxed feeling after a drink but then just don't want to have a bunch.

Yeah it depends, both per person and per drinking occasion. Sometimes I want to drink but everything alcoholic tastes awful. Sometimes everything tastes...like water, and yeah, I feel completely sober like I've been drinking diet coke. Sometimes I get drunk MUCH faster, and puke from what would otherwise be a small amount of alcohol. The great thing is though that increasingly, I don't want to keep drinking after 2-3 drinks. Now that's not all the time (I had 10 drinks on Friday!) but by and large the horrible clutchy cravings are gone. I'm no longer the last one at the bar trying to convince people to drink more. And that feels good :)
Some people still get the same buzz on nal; some people say it is pleasant but different. For me the main thing is that alcohol used to make me VERY upbeat and energetic, kind of manic sometimes. Now that does not happen. Alcohol is definitely a depressant for me now. Sometimes still pleasant feeling - but definitely a downer.

I still get inebriated--you will definitely feel the effects of the alcohol and will be impaired--but I find I don't get that out of control need to keep drinking.
