> According to Jay Goldstein's web page, naltrexone increases dopamine. Interesting, huh? I suppose it would be best to take it with an SSRI, since the claims of antidepressant value seem to be dependent on the co-administration of one. Personally, it made me kinda nauseous, but I only tried it once.
Nausea is a really common side effect of naltrexone. There is also the risk of worsened depression. It's supposed to help some people with dissociative symptoms, though.
The only success stories I've heard have involved the addition of naltrexone to an SSRI.
