Naltrexone
alcohol dependence
"I'm taking contrave for weight loss. It is made up of two medications, one of them being naltrexone. I had no idea I'd get the added benefit of diminished alcohol cravings. I was drinking about 4 fifths of vodka a week. I had given up on ever quitting drinking. I've been in 3 psychiatric hospitals and to rehab once. From the very first dose my constant alcohol cravings have stopped. I haven't drank in over a week. It's amazing. It's worth the initial side effects."
