If this thread has already happened, please send me a link, as I am finding it very hard to navigate and search this site.

I was prescribed naltrexone 4 days ago, and had 1 tablet once a day for 3 days and I am so nauseated and dizzy I can barely move, except to run to the bathroom for diarea (spelling?) and vomiting. I can't keep anything down.
I really want this medication to work, and I'm wondering if anyone else had these symptoms and if it got better for them? I was supposed to get some things done today but haven't been able to get out of bed (except, as I said, for bathroom visits). I'm supposed to have band practice tomorrow, and a gig this weekend. I'm getting a but worried about this sickness.
Ps i have been taking the tablet with food as recommended.

Thank you. I hope I can get an answer soon!

Sorry to hear of your troubles, W.
You should ring your physician IMMEDIATELY and describe your symptoms in detail.
Several possibilities: could be alcohol withdrawal symptoms or a bad reaction to the Vivitrol. Doesn't matter your Doctor should be informed.
If symptoms worsen get to A&E immediately.

I'd agree - if you have physical symptoms that are that debilitating you need to see a doctor sooner rather than later.

I was given it at rehab after a couple weeks clean. Had a bad reaction and was taken off it immediately. Call the doctor.
