Naltroxene Campral VS other meds
Nope, but I'm going to recommend you try baclofen. It's the only med I've tried but it's been almost miraculously effective in cutting short my drinking career. And giving me time for other things! -
Naltroxene Campral VS other meds
Dr. Olivier Ameisen, who has written quite extensively about high-dose baclofen treatment of alcoholism after treating his own alcoholism with it, had already tried naltrexone, Campral, Antabuse, and topiramate (Topamax) without any real success. He also did not find low doses of baclofen to be very helpful in his own case. There are many posts and threads on this forum about this approach to treatment, with people here reporting success with baclofen taken at high daily doses.Comment

Naltroxene Campral VS other meds
The latest meta-analysis (Opioid antagonists for alcohol dependence) of naltrexone shows that it works. The NNT is around 9, about the same as Campral. This isn't great, but is comparable to "effective" treatments for depression.Comment
