It’s also used for opioid abuse disorders. Truly a miracle drug.
Can you expand on its actual use (like Vivitrol?) My understanding is its primarily used to treat alcoholism/AUD but maybe Vivitrol is used for both…
I can’t comment on it personally, no, I’ve just heard and read about it some.
This article, for example, mentions dosage guidelines: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/naltrexone-oral-route/proper-use/drg-20068408
[not snarky ;)] Pretty sure my understanding is correct, I’ve read about it before
I want to more rigorously experiment with it and other compulsive things I have challenges with, it seems the opioidergic system mediates
liking
and the compulsive attachment that flows from that so I’m curious to what extent its effect is extensible to other problematic habits, chemical or otherwise
