Naltrexone and Zoloft together...anyone have experience??
Once again..i am desperate and back here. I have just started reading about naltrexone and want to give it a try. I am on zoloft for out of control anxiety which is a chicken and egg issue with the alcohol. Regardless...I need to get my drinking under control. I was beligerant and abusive to one of my friends saturday night- everything in my life has spun completely out of control. The details are blurry from sat but I can't stop replaying what i actually remember (I was on a bender and am so ashamed). It sounds like baclofen is good for this type of anxiety issue which i have struggled with since childhood. what do i do? i know no one can technically give medical advice...but i really need help. Posting your experiences helps tremendously. I can't live with this pit in my stomach any longer...I just can't.Tags: None

Bluesy,
I've been on so many things over the years now.
Drinking has continued up & down, with the use of the anti- anxiety-depressant-seizure-pharmacopia I've been prescribed.
I can't use, because of side effects;
neurontin-pergolide-lyrica-cymbalta-and yes Topomax.
I'm on wellbutrin and citalopram now. I recently asked to decrease the wellbutrin, Doc agreed, then decided to wait until the next visit because I really seem better.
I don't want to be on these forever..going off seems to involve withdrawal no one is willing to wait for me to pass through, before saying..uhoh gotta go back on.
I don't know if I'm grasping at straws, but I did find of interest a post with a link about slow withdrawal from alcohol, via beer (one a day as needed to curb craving, seemed good for me).
Go to sites about the meds you are going to combine...really look at pro & con issues.
Just my experience

honestly you should worry more about the cross interaction between a depressant like alcohol and any anti depressiva.
