> You can take low dose (1.5mg to 4.5mg) Naltrexone between 9pm and 12pm each night to increase endorphins. The drug temporarily tricks the opioid receptors into thinking there isn't enough endorphins, so for a few hours it pumps out a bunch of new ones which last about a day and this accumulates over days and weeks.

Bleauberry - do you know more about his drug? I read up on it on Wiki...and about how it was used for drug addiction recovery - but I didn't find a good site. Do you know about its side effects?This is the first drug I'v been interested in for a long time now. I think I want to try it - how do pdocs feel about prescribing this (in general)?
The PDoc I am going back to in 2 weeks has always frowned upon alternative meds like when I brought up St. Johns Wort...and this is a pharmaceutical so maybe he will be more receptive..but this is an alternative use.. Thanks
