In reply to naltrexone, posted by Shelley on November 6, 2001, at 9:47:14
Shelli--the next med that my pdoc wants me to try is natrexone. Mostly, my research showed it being used as an augmenter to SSRIs--which is what Wayne (who had such a successful response to it did). My pdoc though believes that it will have an effect on anxiety--he has just started using it (n=1). One person on psychobabble posted an article on its use for Trichotillomania (hair pulling)--which I think is like skin picking (which I do)--to me this seems at least aggitation driven. Anyway the psychobabble message is at:

Let me know what you find out about this as well. My pdoc wrote me a script dated the 10th and wants me to call before I fill it.
> Is there any information available about the effect of naltrexone on psychiatric problems such as autism, psychosis or anxiety disorders?
