Ramping up drinking while on naltrexone
I started naltrexone- 25mg- two months ago. After the initial nausea and general emotional numbness wore off- I have been tolerating it really well. Previously was drinking 4 drinks a night and likely 1-2 times a week more. This had gradually risen over the years and I knew where I would end up unless something changed. For the first six weeks I was drinking a drink sometimes with my wife. Never alone. In the last two weeks, I find myself wanting it more and drinking thru the naltrexone and having the same effect as before I started- without the compulsion to keep drinking till I fell asleep. I am starting 50mg now. Any other advice? Previously I had wanted just to have a better relationship with alcohol. Now I am wondering if that is a realistic goal.
