Wayne. I've read all the links on Naltrexone. Have read all your posts. Sounds intriquing. Can you take on a few more questions?
If you had apathy previously, did Naltrexone overcome that?
If you had any sexual side-effects, did it help with that?
Does it allow a lower dose of your antidepressant? Or same dose.
There seems to be a connection with its success being related to a synergy with SSRIs. Links discussed Clomipramine and Prozac being best. MAOIs questionable. Since part of Serzone's mechanism is like an SSRI, could you venture a guess as to how Naltrexone and Serzone might work together?
Naltrex and Serzone?
Naltrex and Paxil?
Naltrex and Zoloft?
Sorry for so many questions, but you seem to be da man for Naltrexone. Look forward to your further input.
Thank you, jamie.

Jamie,
I might be the “poster boy” for Naltrexone, but I am certainly not da man…Here you go:
> If you had apathy previously, did Naltrexone overcome that?
I started with Naltrexone 25 with Prozac 20. After about 3 months apathy was a problem. I increased the Naltrexone to 50 and that solved the apathy problem.
> If you had any sexual side-effects, did it help with that?
I have reduced interest in sex from all the SSRIs. Naltrexone does not seem to overcome that problem.
> Does it allow a lower dose of your antidepressant? Or same dose.
I have been able to stay at 20 of Prozac. In the past I had pushed Prozac to 80.

All I know is that Dr. Dante seems to indicate that anything in the SSRI class can be augmented. I chose to augment Prozac based on my side effect profile.Best wishes… Wayne
