I didn’t have a hangover or anything like that. Everyone says how natrexone is amazing with no side effects, but I’ve had only a negative experience for the most part
The woman promoting it was never an alcoholic, just an occasional binge drinker, and has admitted it's unlikely to work for people with full blown alcoholism. Once you've crossed that line, the only option is complete sobriety.

I did some research on this medication today since they had me on it in rehab. This medication is associated with something called the Sinclair Method. I guess they prescribe it and you continue drinking but the effects of the alcohol aren’t the same so supposedly you stop drinking as much as usual... not happening here, no way am I touching alcohol to see if a fricking pill works.
