Why is there so little research on naltrexone as an aid to problem drinkers trying to moderate?

Problem drinkers, endorphins, naltrexone and testosterone - Part 1 (Part 2 never got written)

Naltrexone use rarely associated with liver damage (Medline references)\

Are there medications that can help me reach my sobriety goals?

I've heard that sometimes taking naltrexone at a dose of 100 mg or 150 mg is effective where 50 mg was not. Can these larger doses be taken all at once, and what time of day should I take it?
