There was a report on the news about using a combination of Meltrexone and Topomax to stop alcohol cravings. Can you give me any information regarding FDA approval, and side effects. I am currently prescribed oxycodone for lower back pain. I read that the Topomax is an opiate blocker. That would not be a good thing!! Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
Sincerely, Kelly
Meltrexone is a med. I heard about on CNN, April 2009 it was said it helps relieve addictions such as alcohol. Any one know of this & where can one find it? Thanks,
I haven't heard back from you. Any info regarding meltrexone & it's effect on alcohol cravings?
The correct drug name is Naltrexone and yes, it is in the treatment of both alcohol and opiate dependencies.
It is, however, a prescription medication, so you will need to see a doctor to get it.
