Some Dr's are experimenting with really off-label uses for Revia (Naltrexone). It was originally developed as an opiate antagonist to help people get off opiates, but it was found to be more effective in decreasing cravings for alcohol in alcoholics so that's what it's mainly prescribed for. But some Dr's are using it for the more impulse control spectrum of addictions such as gambling and shopping. I've also heard of Dr's prescribing it for self-injury, but haven't heard any results about efficacy.
