Naltrexone
alcohol dependence
"I'm on Naltrexone now at 11 weeks following TSM, take the med 1 hour b4 drinking. Wine drinker. My cravings eased some and the "taste" isn't as good, even really good wine doesn't have the same appeal. Consumption has dropped, but more so in the number of days/week. I have gone from 5 or 6 days per week to now 3, altho the amount of drinks per session is the same or up a bit. I now drink lighter whites with less alcohol, not heavy reds. I'm  60 yr old woman, no other program. I'm encouraged, will stick with it, but was hoping to feel less craving by now. In reflection the run up to my problem is over 15 years. Never a binge drinker, didn't drink in my teens, 20s or much in 30s. From all my reading and research I do think I'll be in control again"
