          I’m still drinking. My doc is hesitant to prescribe it thus far, thinks my case isn’t extreme enough to warrant it

            He lost the prerogative to make that determination the moment you identified yourself an alcoholic. Please see my Naltrexone bit in this thread.

            Read it a couple times, I hate when drs pull this shit. How did naltrexone even come up at all, did you mention it or did he mention it? I get the sense you came to him already with this. I would never let a dr roll the dice with my health and well-being in the way he is clearly doing in this vignette :/
