My psychiatrist is thinking of having me try naltrexone for OCD since I've tried all of the go-to meds for it and more (been on 16 psych meds in total, 17 if you count one that I take for headaches but is also used to treat anxiety) and there have been some studies showing that it may help treat OCD (primarily compulsions) in some people. One main reason that I'm hesitant is I'm a trans man and have several surgeries planned over the next few years, so (assuming that the hospital might give me opioids after some of the more intense ones) I would probably have to kinda be on and off of it. I also would ideally like to be able to drink, but I'd be willing to give that up if it did end up helping with my OCD. Any thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated. At this point I'm willing to do anything to find something that'll work for my OCD, I'm just concerned about how it might make things hard with surgeries
