alcohol dependence
"My husband used to drink daily, approx 9-15 standard full strength beers and binge drink anywhere from 1-4 times in a fortnight adding in rum,whiskey. He couldn't go one day without a drink. Has been on the pill form of naltrexone for 15 days now, has drank on 3 seperate occasions in this time (1 beer then stopped drinking) he has gone this far without counselling, no 12 steps etc as his counselling appointment is not for another week. I think this med is a Godsend for alcoholism, if someone wants to stop drinking then give it a go. He said it has helped him realise how much he would be thinking of alcohol and now his mind is clearer each day without the constant burden of alcoholism weighing him down. He is more easy going to be around now"
