Guest guest Posted November 14, 1999 Report Share Posted November 14, 1999 Revia is nothing more the brand name of the mu opiate receptor antagonist Naltrexone. Recently so called " addictionologists " have been experrimenting with that old dopers nemesis NALTREXONE. From my readings of the clinical studies in this are they all draw the same conclusion: There is NO SCIENTIFIC REASON for this med to work as an antagonist for alcohol as it binds to the mu opiate receptor exclusively. They have had a smatterring of success but no more than for a placebo in any double blind clinical study. They older methods are time tested, tried and true and I have seen them work hundreds of times for the DETOX portion of abstinence if this is your goal, to continue abstinence,cognizant behavioral modification might help. One thing for sure, don't join ** (do we use the " aa " word around here?)....well you get the idea. Anyone interested in clinical studies regarding Naltrexone and Alcohol write me directly. I will send you a few studies and links to others studies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
