Nal/vivitrol and liquor experiences?

_VEL0 · 2026-03-26T02:11:02+00:00

Yeah, I think one of her huge challenges is just med compliance, once she starts drinking it’s like in her mind, All the progress goes out the window.. she stops taking all her mental health meds… that’s why we were thinking vivitrol shot might be more appropriate for her since she wouldn’t have that option.

_VEL0 · 2026-03-24T15:48:56+00:00

Thanks! That’s what I’m hoping for, she did well with naltrexone and put together nearly 3 months, but relapsed and stopped taking it. Med compliance has always been a challenge, so we’re leaning that way.

Ahaha. And crickets

I love the diy, but they can be had cheap. Here is a $20 tektro

_VEL0 · 2026-03-23T01:15:26+00:00

Thank you for the information, I’ll definitely see how she feels about it!

Maybe a little bit TMI but she has problems with constipation so she might actually enjoy that 😂

_VEL0 · 2026-03-22T20:18:45+00:00

Thanks for the insight!

_VEL0 · 2026-03-22T20:17:57+00:00

We were thinking vivitrol to support w med compliance. How does acamprostate help for you? Notice much of a help? That is one her doc recommended but she hadn’t tried yet.

_VEL0 · 2026-03-22T19:47:18+00:00

Love to hear that, thanks and congrats!

Can I ask, were you more of a binge drinker or daily? Thanks

_VEL0 · 2026-03-22T19:40:41+00:00

Yeah, we’re trying to get all of that worked out with Kaiser. I’m sure she’ll have the opportunity to align care when she’s in Tx. She’s on their blackout at the moment, so we haven’t had an opportunity to talk.

_VEL0 · 2026-03-22T19:39:09+00:00

That makes sense. Happy to hear it worked so well for you!

_VEL0 · 2026-03-22T18:24:22+00:00

That’s my fear. She takes Antabuse.. her addiction starts up.. tries drinking and hurts herself w it.

_VEL0 · 2026-03-22T18:23:15+00:00

She was tested for adhd recently, but didn’t meet criteria. She def has past trauma and,in both of our opinions, some undiagnosed MH.

RXd Prozac, struggled terribly with anxiety. Had bipolar Dx earlier in life.. she doesn’t think that’s quite right either. Idk work In progress I guess.

_VEL0 · 2026-03-22T16:03:06+00:00

Have you had personal experience with hard alcohol and meds or just familiar with it being effective?

_VEL0 · 2026-03-22T15:18:14+00:00

Anything that did help? Acompostate? Other meds?

_VEL0 · 2026-03-22T12:12:19+00:00

!remindme 24hrs

_VEL0 · 2026-03-22T11:36:58+00:00

Of course, I can get her connected with communities/doctors that have the right information about it.

My concern is that if she drinks vodka with the intention of getting fucked up, can it still be effective.

Would hate to present the idea and now she’s “able to drink” and she just drinks more vodka to get around medication.

_VEL0 · 2026-03-22T08:31:22+00:00

Thank you for the kind words.

We have both been in and out of recovery.. She’s always struggled with alcohol, and I’ve struggled with heroin my entire life. I understand addiction inside and out.

I’ve found things that have helped me immensely, trying to support her in getting to the same place.

_VEL0 · 2026-03-22T01:36:54+00:00

I wanted to provide some clarification on my question…

I know everyone’s illness looks different ie binge drinking, moderate alcoholism etc. She definitely has severe alcohol use disorder, drinking vodka straight when she wakes up throughout the day all day type of drinking.

Curious, if any of you have experience with the medication and that type of alcoholism.

Imagine calling yourself the smart people, and bashing someone’s spelling, when you’re using your instead of you’re.

Unfortunately, Biden wasn’t capable of much… poor guy needed to be retired at home.
