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

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.
