No, you cannot just take the prescription and not do the therapy. Ify ou don't make changes, when you quit the medication you will go right back to drinking too much. The therapy is there for a reason. Side-effects include sleepiness and nausea, but those seem to go away in about 5 days. Hi Greg:

Naltrexone was an absolute miracle drug....literally, walking down the wine/booze aisle at the local store was uneventful. I believe it even curbed my desire for chocolate?!?! At any rate, it gave me the needed mental break from obsessing about it, so that I could focus on behavior change/personal growth work I'd been doing. If there is anyone out there who desires to let go of drinking and the obsessing that often accompanies it, Naltrexone is the stepping stone for you. I am nearly 8 years sober...if I can do it, anyone can do it! :) In May 2004, I took my last drink….being predisposed to alcoholism (both parents were alcoholics) and after having a couple really bad encounters with family (made a complete “A” of myself) I decided to break the cycle before it had a chance to start in my immediate family.

I used Chantix to quit smoking, so I am familiar with the concept. Due to financial stresses and the marital stresses that resulted, I began drinking too much. It has definitely scared my kids and angered my husband. I am working hard to regain balance in my life, and your program sounds like it would work for me. While relaxed with friends, I am fine...it is when family life gets stressful that I tend to over indulge. Thank you I would like more information on Naltrexone.

I need to curb the cravings to drink every weekend. I need to know more and what I can do to curb the craving or even possibly take the urge away.
