Day 3 here. So far so good. I wonder if I will notice a difference when I increase to 50mgs from 25 mgs today. What have been your experiences when doing so.

I love a vodka and grapefruit occasionally. Does anyone know whether there is a problem taking nal and grapefruit juice? I know it renders some meds ineffective. What are your thoughts with this?

Also, have any of you noticed any weight loss? Gosh what a lagniappe that would be!!

Look forward to hearing from you and continued success,

Re: Weight loss - I have sometimes experienced loss of appetite, but then MAJOR ICE CREAM CRAVINGS I have lost 15 pounds in the last five years by my periodic reduction in AL intake. But with the Nal it has been hard for me to pin down, and I am in the midst of major emotional life difficulties so often times I do not eat because of that. I try to figure out what relationship this has to the Nal but so far to no avail.

And interesting question about grapefruit, I am a grapefruit eater, let's ask the DR. I will do that now. Ok I did it in Ask the Doctor.....

You are great. Thanks for posting.



That is wonderful that you lost 15 pounds. As we all seem to be heavy drinkers, wouldn't that be nice if it were a side effect.

Have a great day and thanks for your response.

I wish I could report that taking Naltrexone for the past 8 weeks has resulted in weight loss. Sadly, it has not.

Same here! No weight loss!

When I drink heavily my appetite is poor, but when not drinking it is good- so I have actually put on a few pounds.

alcohol metabolizes into sugar. eat candy not baked goods. the candy will go right through ya. like the booze.

got it it? candy. esp dark chocolate, anything lo fat like marshmallows or gummies, good quality icecream wo a cone cuz there is protien from the milk. or friuts like watermelon or bananas. u will crave sugar, no doubt. also try drinking a HUGE glass of 100% juice mixed half and half with spring water. hope it helps!!! if you are drinking eat cheese w crackers or some other kind of protien carb mix. will help you mods.

HA! My doc told me I could experience weight loss with Nal. Never happened. Not even close. Fat chance! This after 6 months too! Maybe it will for someone else.
