Of course, people using naltrexone still need to eat fewer calories than they burn if they want to lose weight. It won\u2019t magically make pounds fall off while you continue to eat excessively. However, the way it interacts with your body makes it a lot easier and less stressful to lose weight. People who try naltrexone for weight loss often report these advantages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lowered appetite:<\/strong>\u00a0People still get food cravings on naltrexone, but these cravings tend to occur less often and are satisfied more easily. The lower appetite helps you naturally eat less.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduced incentive to overeat:<\/strong>\u00a0With naltrexone, most people no longer feel a rush of satisfaction from binging on food. This makes it a lot easier to eat moderately.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improved mood:<\/strong> Especially if you take a naltrexone medication, you\u2019ll find that you feel less stressed and sad. This can help to combat emotional overeating.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stabilized blood sugar:<\/strong> Naltrexone helps to improve insulin sensitivity, so you have less drastic blood sugar swings. This prevents hypoglycemic crashes that might make you crave sugary or carb-laden food.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More energy:<\/strong>\u00a0One of the big reasons that people stop dieting is because they feel tired and fatigued. Naltrexone and bupropion can help you feel more alert and active even if you\u2019re eating less.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Potential-Side-Effects-and-Concerns-of-Using-Naltrexone-for-Weight-Loss\">Potential Side Effects and Concerns of Using Naltrexone for Weight Loss<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Though naltrexone has some promising weight loss effects, it\u2019s not a foolproof method. There are some side effects associated with this medication. In a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5299461\/\">2017 study<\/a>, 22% of test subjects chose to leave the study due to the side effects of naltrexone. The most commonly reported issue was gastrointestinal upset and nausea. Some people also had anxiety, headaches, insomnia, or dizziness. Those who take very high doses may be more susceptible to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.illinoisrecoverycenter.com\/signs-your-liver-is-healing\/\">liver<\/a>\u00a0damage. In most patients, side effects were strongest right when they started using the medication and calmed down over time. No research indicates that there is a risk associated with long-term naltrexone use.<\/p>\n<p>Though all of these side effects can sound concerning, it\u2019s important to keep in mind that naltrexone is still a very safe medication. Extensive reviews were conducted before the FDA approved it, and there is no evidence that it causes serious side effects. While some patients might have minor issues like nausea, naltrexone doesn\u2019t cause dangerous issues like heart failure or strokes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Advantages of Using Naltrexone for Weight Loss Naltrexone provides people with a lot of helpful ways to manage their weight.
