Re: Question regarding alcohol...

[Guest guest]

Hi Joyce,

Can't say I have had that problem, but then I haven't had much to

drink since I started on LDN. I will be imbibing during the

holidays though, so I will report in, if any SEs.

Naltrexone is supposed to make you not want to drink, and they don't

say how...lol. I doubt the low dose would effect that though....I

hope not!! If it does I'll stop the LDN for a couple of days and

see if that works. I could not have an egg nog or asti but pooh,

that wouldn't be any fun.

Have a good one Joyce,

Sally

I spoke to dr bihari about drinking since I was going to start ldn before

christimas of last year and he told me there is no problem in drinking hope

this answered your question.
