> But you did find one to do it, right?
By accident. After a year without meds, I got a new pdoc. I picked her because she was cheap and could see a new patient right away. I thought I'd have to work on her for a few months, bringing in naltrexone articles and so on. At my second appointment, I just *mentioned* naltrexone and she said, "Sure. What dose?" She'd never heard of it for depression, but she was game.
My previous 2 pdocs refused outright. One said no one in the area would prescribe it. (Wrong!) The other was in a major university and said I had to try ECT again first.
Pdocs can drive you nuts.
> How much were you taking?
50 mg/day. The smokers were taking 25 mg, I guess? Even if folks didn't actually feel nauseated, there might be some sub-nausea turn-off regarding food.
I doubt that the 3-5 mg range would cause nausea. It didn't for me when I briefly took it.
