One med that was suggested to me was naltrexone, an opiate antagonist. The theory being that cutting releases endogenous opiates and if that doesn't occur then the cutter won't get the relief he is seeking. All well and good, but I feel cutting or SI is a great deal more complex, and probably can only be dealt with using psychotherapy (with someone very experienced) and hard work on the client's part. I'm very happy to hear you haven't cut in 2 years- have you developed other coping mechanisms? Take care, judy
