There is literally a time in the night when I feel my clozapine levels peak and I'm immediately very hungry. One night I missed my meds and didn't have that desperate to eat everything feeling. I hope that this is an option for me.

thanks for sharing!
It helps me with hunger control and I am thankful for it. I am on a slightly elevated dose - not 50 mg but 75 mg, taken as half a tablet in the morning and a whole tablet one hour before bedtime, and my liver enzymes will be monitored quarterly as Naltrexone has been known to cause reversible liver toxicity at high doses (I imagine much higher than mine). So far so good and the last labs showed even lower levels of liver enzymes than before I went on Naltrexone.

I hope you will be able to start on it!
