Participant Flow

30 people were screened by telephone. 18/30 people screened were deemed ineligible. The reasons for ineligibility were: antidepressant medication use (11/18), a history of seizures (4/18) and already taking Naltrexone (3/18). 12/30 people were eligible, 6/12 were initially interested in the study and ultimately, only 5/6 were consented.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 16

Population: These labratory data were not collected and summarized due to the removal of diabetes from the study criteria and the early termination of the study.

Serum lipid profiles, fasting glucose, and glycosylated hemoglobin (hbA1c) will be measured at baseline and week 16 and change in these markers will be determined at endpoint
