I take a 50 mg Naltrexone everyday, at least one hour before I drink.

Today, I can't remember if I took it already or not, and I am supposed to meet some friends later for drinks. If I take a pill, and it turns out to be my second 50 mg pill for today, is that going to have negative/dangerous side effects?

I am not a doctor. This is not medical advice. Some people take 100mg as a matter of course. I don't think liver toxicity appears (for healthy people) until around 300mg.

Thanks PlainVanilla.

Good ass-covering job with the disclaimer. :)

I just took the pill. If I die... I'll let ya know.

from the package insert from the pharmacy: "In this case, your doctor may order a higher dose (100-150 milligrams) to be taken every 2-3 days to make it easier to schedule clinic visits..."

So if you take 2 today on accident, maybe try to make tomorrow an AF day.

The first time I couldn't remember whether I'd taken it made me realize how far past the side effects I was. So at least there's that. :D
