I started taking this too this month because after two years the cravings were coming back. (I’m also bipolar and think hypomanic swing didn’t help). This definitely helps me. I take the daily pills.
DISCLAIMER: I’m a SMART Recovery volunteer, a meeting facilitator, among other things. Any info here will inevitably be colored by this.
I’m also BP, + ADD. Can 100% relate. Hypomania will not help. In my case, and in an astounding percentage of mental disorders, substance use disorders are used as seIf-medication.
If you futz-up, Naltrexone will not work. It works by blocking some receptors, and rewiring your brain, by removing the pleasure of drinking. If you drink without blocking, the brain gets confused while relearning. Read my comment above.
Abstinence + Behavioral retraining + peer support is what is durable for me.
