Feel like I'm relapsing on Naltrexone

Hi All,

Been doing really well for the last 5 months on Nal, a slow but progressive cutting down of the alcohol. 

However the last 3 weeks it has been going up again :-( not sure why. 

Naltrexone has killed my urges and ability to drink wine, I actually dislike the taste and struggle to drink it, however I have now switched to vodka to avoid this issue -.- 

I find Naltrexone doesn't work as well with spirits and I can still easily drink half a bottle of vodka in one night while on Nal. I really want to get this down. I'm also back up to drinking four nights a week instead of two. 

Don't get me wrong this is still an improvement but after 6 months almost on Nal i was hoping to be doing better and  be more stable with drinking less nights. 

I can still easily drink 10-15 units per night and suffer a blackout. 

Do you think upping the amount of Naltrexone will help me? I'm struggling and feel like I'm going backwards
