What to expect
Rebuilding your relationship with alcohol doesn't happen overnight. While naltrexone starts working right away, experts recommend taking the medication for at least a year to help you make sustainable changes.
In the Short Term
Naltrexone cools down the instant pleasure you get from drinking. In the first few weeks, you may experience fewer cravings and less of a desire to drink.
In the Long Term
Over time, regular use of naltrexone "rewires" the brain's pleasure and reward pathways responsible for excessive drinking — making it easier to cut back or quit.

Naltrexone is a prescription medication used to treat alcohol dependence. It is available only if prescribed by a healthcare provider. You should not take naltrexone if you use opioids, including prescription drugs or street drugs that contain opioids, as naltrexone can cause sudden opioid withdrawal. Common side effects of naltrexone include nausea, sleepiness, headache, dizziness, vomiting, decreased appetite, painful joints, muscle cramps, and trouble sleeping. These are not all of the side effects of naltrexone. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effects that bother you or do not go away.
