If you’re considering naltrexone for opioid use disorder or alcohol use disorder treatment, understanding potential side effects is essential for making an informed decision about your care. Naltrexone (including the long-acting injection Vivitrol) is a unique medication for addiction treatment (MAT) that works as an opioid antagonist, blocking the euphoric effects of opioids and alcohol rather than replacing them.
At Porch Light Health, we offer naltrexone therapy at locations throughout Colorado and New Mexico. This comprehensive guide will help you understand what side effects you might experience, how to manage them effectively, and when to seek medical attention.
Understanding Naltrexone and How It Works
Naltrexone is a medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating both alcohol use disorder and opioid use disorder. Unlike Suboxone or methadone, which contain opioid agonist properties, naltrexone is a pure opioid antagonist.
How naltrexone works:
- Blocks opioid receptors in the brain
- Prevents opioids and alcohol from producing euphoric effects
- Reduces cravings by changing the brain’s reward response
- Does not cause physical dependence or withdrawal symptoms
- Available as daily oral tablets (ReVia) or monthly injection (Vivitrol)
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), naltrexone is most effective when combined with counseling and behavioral therapy as part of a comprehensive recovery program.
Key difference from other MAT medications: Naltrexone contains no opioid component, meaning it:
- Cannot get you “high” or cause euphoria
- Doesn’t cause physical dependence
- Won’t lead to withdrawal when stopped
- Requires complete opioid detoxification before starting
- Has a different side effect profile than opioid agonist medications
Common Side Effects of Naltrexone
Most people tolerate naltrexone well, and side effects are generally mild and temporary. The side effect profile differs significantly between oral naltrexone and the Vivitrol injection.
Nausea
Nausea is the most commonly reported side effect of naltrexone, particularly with oral formulations. According to research published in the National Library of Medicine, nausea typically occurs during the first few weeks of treatment and often improves as your body adjusts.
Management strategies:
- Take oral naltrexone with food
- Start with lower doses and gradually increase (if prescribed)
- Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day
- Avoid greasy, spicy, or heavy foods
- Stay hydrated with water or ginger tea
- Take medication at bedtime to sleep through peak side effects
- Consider anti-nausea medications if symptoms are severe
If nausea persists beyond the first few weeks or becomes severe, contact your healthcare provider. The injectable Vivitrol formulation often causes less nausea than oral naltrexone.
Headache
Headaches are common during the initial weeks of naltrexone treatment but typically decrease over time.
Tips for managing headaches:
- Stay well-hydrated throughout the day
- Maintain regular sleep patterns
- Practice stress-reduction techniques
- Use over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil)
- Track headache patterns to identify triggers
- Ensure you’re eating regular meals
Persistent or severe headaches should be discussed with your treatment team during your treatment journey.
Fatigue and Tiredness
Some people experience fatigue or decreased energy during the first few weeks of naltrexone treatment. This usually improves as your body adjusts.
Strategies to combat fatigue:
- Get adequate sleep (7-9 hours nightly)
- Engage in regular physical activity
- Eat a balanced, nutritious diet
- Take the medication at bedtime if daytime fatigue is problematic
- Limit caffeine, especially in afternoon and evening
- Practice good sleep hygiene
If fatigue persists or interferes significantly with daily activities, discuss dosing adjustments with your provider.
Dizziness and Lightheadedness
Mild dizziness can occur when starting naltrexone, particularly when standing up quickly.
Safety precautions:
- Stand up slowly from sitting or lying positions
- Stay well-hydrated
- Avoid alcohol entirely (which can worsen dizziness)
- Be cautious when driving until you know how naltrexone affects you
- Sit or lie down if you feel dizzy
Severe or persistent dizziness warrants medical evaluation to rule out other causes.
Injection Site Reactions (Vivitrol)
The Vivitrol injection commonly causes localized reactions at the injection site (typically the buttocks). According to the FDA, these reactions are usually mild to moderate.
Common injection site reactions include:
- Pain or tenderness
- Redness
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Hardness or lump at injection site
- Itching
Managing injection site reactions:
- Apply ice packs for the first 24-48 hours
- Use warm compresses after 48 hours to help medication absorb
- Take over-the-counter pain relievers as needed
- Wear loose-fitting clothing
- Avoid massaging or rubbing the injection site
- Alternate injection sites (right and left buttocks) each month
Most injection site reactions resolve within a few days to two weeks. Severe pain, increasing redness, warmth, or signs of infection require immediate medical attention.
Insomnia and Sleep Disturbances
Some people experience difficulty sleeping when starting naltrexone therapy.
Sleep improvement strategies:
- Take oral naltrexone in the morning rather than evening
- Maintain consistent sleep and wake times
- Create a relaxing bedtime routine
- Limit screen time before bed
- Keep bedroom cool, dark, and quiet
- Avoid caffeine after early afternoon
- Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation
If sleep problems persist, your healthcare provider may recommend adjusting dosing time or prescribe short-term sleep aids.
Anxiety and Nervousness
Mild anxiety or nervousness can occur during the initial treatment period, though this is less common than other side effects.
Managing anxiety:
- Practice stress-reduction techniques
- Engage in regular physical activity
- Consider therapy or behavioral health services
- Avoid caffeine and other stimulants
- Maintain social connections and support systems
- Practice mindfulness or meditation
If you have a history of anxiety disorders or if anxiety becomes severe, discuss this with your treatment team. Porch Light Health specializes in dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.
Appetite Changes and Weight Loss
Some people experience decreased appetite during naltrexone treatment, particularly in the first few weeks. This can lead to modest weight loss.
Maintaining healthy nutrition:
- Eat small, frequent meals even if not hungry
- Focus on nutrient-dense foods
- Track your weight weekly
- Set reminders to eat if you forget
- Consider working with a nutritionist
- Notify your provider if weight loss is significant
Unlike some MAT medications, naltrexone typically doesn’t cause significant weight gain.
Muscle and Joint Pain
Mild muscle aches or joint pain can occur during naltrexone treatment, though this is relatively uncommon.
Relief strategies:
- Use over-the-counter pain relievers (acetaminophen or ibuprofen)
- Apply heat or cold to affected areas
- Engage in gentle stretching
- Stay physically active
- Ensure adequate hydration
- Get adequate rest
Less Common but Serious Side Effects
While rare, some side effects require immediate medical attention.
Liver Damage and Hepatotoxicity
At high doses (much higher than those used for addiction treatment), naltrexone can potentially affect liver function. However, at standard treatment doses (50mg oral or 380mg monthly injection), liver problems are rare.
Risk factors for liver complications:
- Pre-existing liver disease
- Hepatitis C infection
- Heavy alcohol use prior to treatment
- Other medications that affect the liver
- Obesity or metabolic syndrome
Warning signs of liver problems:
- Yellowing of skin or eyes (jaundice)
- Dark, tea-colored urine
- Light-colored or pale stools
- Severe abdominal pain, especially upper right side
- Unusual fatigue or weakness
- Loss of appetite beyond initial nausea
- Easy bruising or bleeding
Before starting naltrexone, your healthcare provider will typically check liver function through blood tests. Regular monitoring may be recommended, especially if you have risk factors. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), liver problems with naltrexone are uncommon when the medication is used appropriately.
Severe Allergic Reactions
Though rare, severe allergic reactions to naltrexone can occur.
Symptoms requiring immediate medical attention:
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
- Swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat
- Severe rash or hives
- Rapid heartbeat
- Chest tightness
- Dizziness or fainting
Call 911 if you experience symptoms of a severe allergic reaction.
Precipitated Withdrawal
This is the most serious risk associated with naltrexone treatment. Because naltrexone is an opioid antagonist, taking it while opioids are still in your system can cause sudden, severe withdrawal symptoms called precipitated withdrawal.
Critical timing requirements:
- Must be completely opioid-free for 7-10 days before starting oral naltrexone
- Must be opioid-free for 10-14 days before Vivitrol injection
- Longer waiting period needed if you used long-acting opioids like methadone or Sublocade
- Even trace amounts of opioids can trigger precipitated withdrawal
Symptoms of precipitated withdrawal include:
- Severe anxiety and restlessness
- Intense muscle aches and pains
- Excessive sweating
- Rapid heartbeat
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Dilated pupils
- Goosebumps and chills
To prevent precipitated withdrawal, your healthcare provider may use the COWS assessment (Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale) to ensure you’re in sufficient withdrawal before starting naltrexone. Some programs use a naloxone challenge test to confirm opioid clearance.
If you experience precipitated withdrawal:
- Contact your healthcare provider immediately
- Go to the emergency room if symptoms are severe
- Be honest about any recent opioid use
- Symptoms typically resolve within 24-48 hours
Depression and Suicidal Thoughts
While naltrexone itself doesn’t directly cause depression, some people report mood changes during treatment. The relationship is complex:
- Recovery from addiction can involve confronting difficult emotions
- Stopping opioid or alcohol use changes brain chemistry
- Underlying depression may become more apparent without substances masking symptoms
- Loss of the “reward” feeling from substances requires adjustment
Warning signs to watch for:
- Persistent sad or “empty” mood
- Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
- Changes in sleep or appetite beyond initial side effects
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt
- Thoughts of death or suicide
If you experience suicidal thoughts:
- Call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) immediately
- Go to the nearest emergency room
- Call your healthcare provider
- Reach out to a trusted friend or family member
- Don’t be alone
Porch Light Health provides integrated behavioral health services and psychiatric care to support your mental health during recovery.
Increased Sensitivity to Opioids
Once you start naltrexone, your body loses tolerance to opioids. This creates a serious risk if you stop naltrexone and return to opioid use.
Critical safety information:
- Your previous opioid dose could now cause overdose
- Even small amounts of heroin or fentanyl could be fatal
- Risk is highest immediately after stopping naltrexone
- Vivitrol’s effects can last up to 60 days after injection
- Always inform emergency personnel if you’re on naltrexone
If you’re considering stopping naltrexone, discuss it with your treatment team first. Never attempt to “override” naltrexone’s blocking effects by using large amounts of opioids—this can be fatal.
Eosinophilic Pneumonia (Rare)
In very rare cases, naltrexone injections have been associated with eosinophilic pneumonia, a serious lung condition.
Symptoms include:
- Progressive difficulty breathing
- Cough
- Chest pain
- Fever
This typically occurs within the first month after injection. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience these symptoms.
Naltrexone Side Effects Timeline
Understanding the timeline helps you know what to expect at each stage.
Week 1: Initial Adjustment
During your first week on naltrexone:
- Nausea is most likely during this period
- Headaches may occur
- Mild fatigue or tiredness
- Injection site discomfort (if using Vivitrol)
- Sleep changes may begin
- Your body is adjusting to the medication
For Vivitrol, injection site reactions peak within the first few days and gradually improve over 1-2 weeks.
Weeks 2-4: Stabilization Period
By weeks 2-4:
- Nausea typically improves significantly
- Headaches become less frequent
- Energy levels begin normalizing
- Sleep patterns start to stabilize
- Injection site reactions resolve (Vivitrol)
- You’re adapting to life without opioids or alcohol
This is when the benefits of naltrexone become more apparent—reduced cravings and less interest in using substances.
Month 2 and Beyond: Long-Term Maintenance
After the first month:
- Most side effects have resolved
- Rare ongoing effects include mild nausea or occasional headaches
- New injection site reaction each month (Vivitrol)
- Focus shifts to recovery work and lifestyle rebuilding
- Regular follow-up appointments help monitor progress

- Keep all scheduled appointments
At Porch Light Health, we provide ongoing support throughout your treatment journey, including regular check-ins at our clinics throughout Colorado and New Mexico.
Drug Interactions and Contraindications
Naltrexone has relatively few drug interactions compared to other MAT medications, but some important considerations exist.
Opioid Medications
Complete contraindication: You cannot take any opioid medications while on naltrexone, including:
- Pain medications (prescription opioids like oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine)
- Heroin or fentanyl
- Over-the-counter medications containing codeine
- Antidiarrheal medications containing opioids (like Lomotil)
- Cough suppressants containing codeine
Critical safety information:
- Naltrexone blocks opioids from working
- Attempting to override the blockade with large opioid doses can cause overdose
- If you need surgery or have severe pain, inform all healthcare providers you’re on naltrexone
- Alternative pain management strategies must be used
Thioridazine
This antipsychotic medication should not be combined with naltrexone due to increased risk of serious side effects.
Disulfiram (Antabuse)
When combined with naltrexone, both medications can affect the liver. If used together, careful liver monitoring is required. Some treatment programs successfully use both medications concurrently with appropriate supervision.
Other Medications for Alcohol Use Disorder
Naltrexone can be safely combined with:
- Acamprosate (Campral) – often used together for alcohol use disorder
- Most antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs)
- Most anxiety medications (though benzodiazepine use is discouraged in recovery)
Over-the-Counter Medications
Safe to use:
- Acetaminophen (Tylenol) for pain or fever
- Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) for pain or inflammation
- Most cold and flu medications (check labels for codeine)
- Antihistamines for allergies
Avoid:
- Any medications containing opioids (codeine, hydrocodone)
- “PM” formulations of pain relievers that contain sleep aids and opioids
Always read medication labels carefully and consult with your pharmacist if unsure.
Naltrexone vs. Other MAT Options: Side Effect Comparison
Understanding how naltrexone compares to other medications helps inform treatment decisions.
Naltrexone vs. Buprenorphine (Suboxone, Sublocade, Brixadi)
Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist, while naltrexone is a pure antagonist.
Naltrexone:
- No opioid component (non-addictive)
- No physical dependence or withdrawal
- No sedation or “high”
- Requires full detox before starting (7-14 days opioid-free)
- Risk of precipitated withdrawal if started too soon
- No respiratory depression risk
- Fewer side effects overall
- Cannot be used for pain management
Buprenorphine:
- Contains opioid activity (partial agonist)
- Can cause physical dependence
- Mild sedation possible
- Can start while in early withdrawal
- Risk of precipitated withdrawal exists but less severe
- Ceiling effect limits respiratory depression
- More side effects (constipation, sweating, etc.)
- Provides some pain relief
Naltrexone works best for people who:
- Can successfully complete detoxification
- Don’t have chronic pain requiring opioid management
- Want complete abstinence from all opioids
- Have shorter addiction histories or less severe addiction
- Have strong motivation and support systems
At Porch Light Health, we offer naltrexone, Suboxone, Sublocade, and Brixadi, allowing us to match you with the best medication for your specific situation.
Naltrexone vs. Methadone
Methadone is a full opioid agonist requiring specialized clinic attendance.
Naltrexone:
- No opioid activity
- Can be prescribed in standard medical offices
- Monthly injections or daily pills
- No sedation or impairment
- No risk of diversion or misuse
- Fewer overall side effects
- No daily clinic requirement
Methadone:
- Full opioid agonist
- Requires daily clinic visits (initially)
- Significant sedation possible
- Higher side effect burden
- Provides excellent craving control
- Better for severe, long-standing addiction
- More appropriate for people with chronic pain
Methadone may be better for people with:
- Very severe, long-standing addiction
- Multiple failed attempts with other treatments
- Chronic pain requiring opioid management
- High tolerance to opioids
We offer methadone treatment at our Denver and Lakewood clinics for those who need this level of care.
Special Populations and Considerations
Certain groups require special attention with naltrexone treatment.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Naltrexone’s safety during pregnancy is not fully established. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), buprenorphine or methadone are preferred for treating opioid use disorder during pregnancy.
Important considerations:
- Limited data on pregnancy safety
- Not recommended during pregnancy unless benefits clearly outweigh risks
- Alternative MAT options preferred for pregnant individuals
- Some naltrexone passes into breast milk
- Consult with your provider if you’re pregnant or planning pregnancy
Liver Disease
People with active liver disease or significantly elevated liver enzymes should not take naltrexone.
Liver considerations:
- Baseline liver function tests required before starting
- Regular monitoring needed if you have liver disease history
- Hepatitis C requires evaluation but isn’t an absolute contraindication
- Acute hepatitis is a contraindication
- Cirrhosis may preclude naltrexone use
Porch Light Health provides integrated Hepatitis C and HIV treatment alongside addiction services.
Co-occurring Mental Health Disorders
Naltrexone can be used in people with mental health conditions, but careful monitoring is needed.
Considerations:
- Depression or anxiety should be treated concurrently
- Some antidepressants work well with naltrexone
- Dual diagnosis treatment provides integrated care
- Monitor mood changes closely
- Therapy is essential alongside medication
Our psychiatric services ensure comprehensive mental health support during addiction treatment.
Chronic Pain Patients
Naltrexone blocks all opioid pain medications, making pain management challenging.
Pain management considerations:
- Cannot use opioid pain relievers while on naltrexone
- Must plan ahead for surgeries or procedures
- Alternative pain strategies required:
- Non-opioid pain medications (NSAIDs, acetaminophen)
- Nerve blocks or epidurals
- Physical therapy
- Non-pharmacologic approaches
- Consider alternative MAT if chronic pain is significant
Always inform all healthcare providers, especially dentists and surgeons, that you’re on naltrexone.
Adolescents
Naltrexone can be used in adolescents age 18 and older. For younger teens, use is off-label and requires careful consideration.
Older Adults
Seniors may tolerate naltrexone well, but considerations include:
- Higher likelihood of liver issues
- Multiple medications increasing interaction risk
- May need dose adjustments
- Closer monitoring recommended
Special Populations
Veterans: We offer specialized support for veterans dealing with opioid or alcohol use disorders.
First Responders: Our first responder program understands unique challenges faced by police, firefighters, and EMS personnel.

- Concerns about treatment effectiveness
- Life changes affecting your treatment
Myths and Misconceptions About Naltrexone
Common myths can create unnecessary concerns.
Myth: “Naltrexone is just replacing one drug with another.”
Reality: Naltrexone contains no addictive substances. It’s a pure antagonist that blocks opioid receptors without activating them. You cannot get “high” from naltrexone, and it doesn’t cause physical dependence. According to SAMHSA, it’s a non-addictive medication that supports recovery.
Myth: “You can still use opioids while on naltrexone if you use enough.”
Reality: This is extremely dangerous. Attempting to override naltrexone’s blockade by using large amounts of opioids can cause fatal overdose. The blocking effect is strong, and trying to overcome it puts you at severe risk.
Myth: “Naltrexone doesn’t work for alcohol addiction.”
Reality: Naltrexone is FDA-approved for alcohol use disorder and has strong evidence supporting its effectiveness. It reduces heavy drinking days and helps people maintain sobriety. Medication options for alcohol use disorder include naltrexone as a first-line treatment.
Myth: “You can’t take naltrexone if you have Hepatitis C.”
Reality: While naltrexone does require liver monitoring, Hepatitis C itself isn’t an absolute contraindication. Many people with Hepatitis C successfully use naltrexone with appropriate monitoring. Active, acute hepatitis or severe liver disease would preclude use.
Myth: “Vivitrol is better than oral naltrexone.”
Reality: Both formulations are effective. Vivitrol ensures medication adherence since it’s administered monthly by healthcare providers, but oral naltrexone offers more flexibility and lower cost. The “best” option depends on your individual circumstances, preferences, and needs.
Myth: “Naltrexone causes severe depression.”
Reality: Naltrexone doesn’t directly cause depression. However, recovery from addiction can involve confronting difficult emotions that were previously masked by substances. Some people experience mood changes as they adjust to sobriety. This emphasizes the importance of combining medication with therapy and support.
The Role of Counseling and Support
Naltrexone is most effective when combined with comprehensive behavioral health services.
How counseling enhances naltrexone treatment:
- Addressing underlying issues: Therapy helps resolve trauma, mental health conditions, and relationship problems
- Developing coping skills: Learn healthy ways to manage stress, emotions, and triggers
- Building support systems: Strengthen connections with others in recovery
- Preventing relapse: Identify warning signs and develop prevention strategies
- Managing side effects: Learn practical strategies for handling discomfort
At Porch Light Health, we provide:
Our integrated approach treats the whole person, not just the addiction.
