How much naltrexone for weight loss?

My doctor briefly mentioned Naltrexone as a possible option for weight management. I'm trying to understand more about it. What is the usual dosage of Naltrexone for weight loss?

I have PCOS and my doctor mentioned low-dose naltrexone once, but said it is not a standard first-line treatment for weight loss. Please don't try self-medicating; consult your gynecologist or endocrinologist first.

Take it easy. Naltrexone is a very specific prescription medicine, so please let a doctor guide you on the right amount.

Bro, don't stress too much about these heavy pharmaceutical names! Naltrexone is actually a serious clinical drug. Just have a chill talk with a doctor and see what fits your body.

Even if doctors use low-dose naltrexone for weight issues, it won't do anything without a controlled calorie intake. Focus on clean vegetarian eating first rather than relying on high-strength medications.

I was prescribed a very low dose of 1.5 mg daily for my chronic pain and inflammation, which indirectly helped my appetite. I am not a doctor, so I highly recommend talking to a professional for your own dosage.

Listen to me, naltrexone is a powerful medication usually used for addiction treatment, though sometimes prescribed off-label in low doses for weight. Do not experiment with this on your own; your safety is way more important.

I completely understand how frustrating it is when the weight just won't budge, making you want to try anything. But naltrexone can have heavy side effects on mood and liver, so please get a proper medical green light first.
