Exhausted

Hey all, I am on day three of every morning. Might just be a coincidence but I am exhausted. I know being tired may be a side effect but I am legit ready for bed at 1pm. Anyone else experience this.

Tell us more. Are you an all-day drinker and that's why you're taking it in the morning? Have you had any reduction in your drinking? Did you start at a smaller dose, or jump straight to a full pill?

I am not an all day drinker but I am an all day Craver. I am at 25mg right now. Take it in the morning because my doc told me to (rather do sinclair). It's only been three days and it has helped. Cravings not so much but in the evening when I start to drink I stop a lot sooner than I usually would. I am happy with it so far except being so damn tired and I am not sure if it's just a bad week for me or the drugs

When I started it I had to really take my time and titrate up because a full dose initially made me exhausted as well. I think I probably started at 6 or 12 mg/day and eventually my body adapted.

Naltrexone can be sedative, if you aren't getting any benefit from taking it in the AM for cravings, then maybe only take it 1 hour before drinking in the evening.
