That doesn't make much sense to me. Naltrexone is an opioid *antagonist*! Dr. Bodkin said to me that he and his colleagues have tried it and other mu-antagonists (like Stadol), and if anything, they made depressed people feel worse.
I've seen some stuff suggesting that taking a micro-dose of naltrexone taken along *with* an agonist can prevent tolerance, tho'. Wish the drug houses were putting resources into studying this and trying to get something we can use out of it.
