When I discussed this program with my physician, he prescribed Naltrexone. I've been taking the drug for a week, and have been AF for a week, too. The only side effect I have from Naltrexone is severe constipation, which I am attempting to alleviate with a laxative.
I also feel very restless, moving from one task to another--low concentration! Sometimes I will go to the kitchen for something and forget what it was I went there for. At the same time, my energy level is extremely low. All I want to do is to lie around and read. Is this normal? Are my mind and body attempting to adjust to my lack of alcohol? I became a heavy drinker when I retired six years ago, and by last week I was guzzling a bottle and a half of white wine every day, beginning at 8:30 a.m.
Another question: I purchased a bottle of Kudzu Rescue from the store. Now that I have paid for it, I hate to waste it. Is it safe to take it while I'm taking Naltrexone, as an added help to keep my longing for white wine at bay?
