Strangest thing, I used to enjoy two to three large iced lattes daily. But after 11 weeks on Naltrexone, I can barely finish one. I'm wondering, since coffee does release endorphins(according to my google search anyway) has the naltrexone extinquished my coffee addiction? I Still drink way past a moderate amount of alchohol after 11 weeks, but I wonder if anyone else out there has experienced this coffee thing :shock: . Please let me know if you can take a few minutes to respond.

Thanks

Is there any chance you have started taking large doses of Vitamin C? I am not on Nal yet but I have lost my need for coffee and I am positive it's due to taking mega doses of Vitamin C. It was the weirdest thing... Just throwing that out there for your consideration. (I have also noticed when I take a mega dose of C combined w/a B complex in the afternoon I get more energy and my physical (not mental) desire for alcohol is diminished.)

No idea. However, I would take this as a blessing! 2-3 large coffees is too much for one's health I'd wager.

No effect on my coffee requirement after 3 weeks (which is around the 12-cup-per-day mark - computer programming is the process of converting caffeine into code)

I must drink 12 cups or so myself. I have a small coffee pot I plan on taking to the office, as the office swill is just horrible. Tastes like dirty water. Too weak. I use a tablespoon for every 2 cups. Fresh ground beans!

Costco's house brand is really close to Starbuck's house blend. Just sayin'... :geek:

I have definitely noticed that my craving for coffee and my enjoyment of it, has drastically decreased, since I started NAL and TSM. No question about it.

I see I have met someone who likes even stronger coffee than I do! 6 scoops (1 tbsp per scoop) per 10-12 cups is my norm (more and my coffee maker puts grounds in my coffee.)
