I've recently corresponded with Dr. Lee Dante (experiences with Naltrexone in tips section) via email. He says that he continues to have some marvelous results using Naltrexone to augment ADs (usually SSRIs).

Although Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, which to me would not be helpful if your opiate system is malfunctioning, he wrote to me that among other things, Naltrexone helps build up the opiate receptors over time.

Apparently, results might take weeks to months. This treatment may be especially useful in long-term anhedonic depressions.

As for myself, this treatment is an option if my excursion into partial or full agonist opioids doesn't work.

Damn frustrating work, isn't it? Best of luck to you.

Jeff
