That's great! People who are new: DO NOT START AT 50 MG! It makes almost all of us very ill. Folks should start at 25 mg on a full stomach. Almost everyone can tolerate this. However, if you are in the small group who cannot, go to 12.5 and work your way up. That's what I did. The side effects go away for almost everyone after a few doses. It would be a shame to give up on a new life because of side effects from naltrexone, which are almost always very fleeting.
