Title: Naltrexone experience with BPD spouse?
Post by: Magnolia2 on October 15, 2015, 01:34:27 PM
My uBPDh found a source for Naltrexone to help him quit his 20 year drinking habit.  His doctor's wouldn't prescribe it to him so he found a way to get his hands on it in a determined effort to stop drinking.  I'm very concerned.   He also refuses to tell his counselor he's taking this for fear of being labeled an alcoholic.  (He admits to being a high functioning alcoholic.)

Do you have experiences you can share about a BPD partner taking Naltrexone?  (This will be the only medication he's on.)

Thanks!
