Read it a couple times, I hate when drs pull this shit. How did naltrexone even come up at all, did you mention it or did he mention it? I get the sense you came to him already with this. I would never let a dr roll the dice with my health and well-being in the way he is clearly doing in this vignette :/
It really is too bad people misuse it like that. I’ve heard the sleep is insanely deep and refreshing and its a damn shame you’re automatically sketch if you want that for your own benefit
I will start with naltrexone, which can help people who have difficulty regulating their drinking have a more natural and sustainable relationship with alcohol should they choose to not cut it out of their lives entirely.
I consider this the closest thing to a “cure” for drinking problems but it required discipline and it doesn’t prevent actual impairment, only the buzz and liking/compulsion to keep overdoing it that day/session
Fascinating medication that I have found to annihilate anxiety (excellent anxiolytic) and promote social cohesion/sociabillity/oversharing beware. Takes the edge of stimulants as well
Almost like a pharmaceutical slightly sedative-leaning version of ecstasy but obviously quite distinct pharmacologically and not a replacement for same.
I wish I could get diagnosed with narcolepsy so I could have it for that purpose, but it also sounds like an enormous bureaucratic headache and I also wouldn’t want someone to be able to take advantage of that knowledge/the rarity with which its prescribed to get you sucked into some bullshit sitch.
Would you recommend it for other seniors particularly? My grandmother might like something like this? She liked Calm Magnesium Sleep except for the GI effect of magnesium citrate and I wonder it this might be easier on the system to the extent she’d be into it
What was your particular orientation with that previously, like we’re all sort of shifty about death but I don’t think much about it (like before I was born, that doesn’t scare me so I kinda dont get the inverse of that)
do you have a condition that makes this all the more prescient or timely
any articulable messages you can share that encapsulate the experience we can try to glean from?
