TOPIC: Nalmefene 2180 Views

Nalmefene 06 Mar 2016 19:51 #280472

  • togetheratlast
Hi- my psychiatrist prescribed a not so well known medication called nalmefene for lust (in Israel the brand name is selincro). You take it on an as-needed basis, as many times as you need it and it lasts for 18 hours a pill. I find it cuts lust craving completely for a few days. Its an amazing medication and almost noone knows about it. It is not used in america so much yet, but it is used in Europe a lot. It is known mainly as a drug to cut alcohol craving, but it works amazing for lust. I just feel I have somewhat of an achryus to at least let people know it exists- and I realize that Guardyoureyes is really the proper hishtadlus. ANYWAYS- if you could look into it MAYBE it could be another great tool in this battle.Please look into it before discarding the idea. Thanks, Tizku Lmitzvos. Here is a few internet links about it.  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nalmefene www.addiction.com/6619/nalmefene-first-alcohol-treatment-drug-in-15-years/

Welcome!!!


Hey Watson we have another Doc on board

By the way if we would all take antidepressants it could also help

Does this new med have any side effects?

you have to check with your doc, depends on the other meds youre taking. I experience tiredness, so I would take it at night- i also sometimes get nauseous and weakish for a few hours.

the difference between this and antidepressants my good man- if you read my post like a proper dude- is that this is not an ongoing medication- you take it when overwhelmed by lust.

Sorry I'm not a proper dude

I prefer a sledgehammer for a lust attack - it's quicker, and you don't feel any side attacks

Ok - no laughing allowed its not yet Adar II

Man if it works for you ODAAT
Great











one dose at a time

Thank you togetheratlast.

IT could be a good idea but it shouldn't be the primary solution, the primary solution should be working hard until you get there.

Wow-- sounds very interesting.  I know about (and am taking) naltrexone, which is also generally for alcohol abuse.  I wonder if "nalmefene" is related to "naltrexone".

Right! Remember Rabbi Dr. Twerski's lobster mashal- on how it grows a new shell?

They are very similar. Check out the Wikipedia link in the first post.
