Naltrexone And Sleeplessness

I have a friend who is fearful of taking the second injection of naltrexone due to the sleeplessness she experienced. My question is, does this side effect diminish with the 2nd injection or does it remain 'about the same'?

In theory, side effects tend to lessen in severity and eventually go away entirely, once your body gets used to a medication. However, everyone is different, so there is no way to be sure.

The FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, weight gain, anxiety, diarrhea, and irritability.

She should consult her doctor, they may have ideas to help prevent this from happening, or they may be able to provide her with some type of sleep aid.

Is she on any other medications?
