I am new to Oar

I am new to Oar, and I am happy to have found them. The application process is simple and straightforward. Great communication from Oar. Slight side effects when beginning the medication, this is my 3rd week and my cravings for alcohol have decreased and I don’t miss it! It works if you’re ready to commit to drink less or stop drinking all together.

The medication has made me nauseus

The medication has made me nauseus. I have started taking a half dose, it still seems to work. I haven't had anything to drink for four weeks. Not sure if it is the medication or just will power, but I haven't wanted a drink during this period.

I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing uncomfortable side effects. I would recommend checking in with the medical team or a health coach through your member dashboard for tips on managing them, as they often dissipate with continued use.

On the other hand, it is great to hear that you are noticing a significant change in your desire for alcohol. Often, medication and our own willpower can work together synergistically to create and maintain momentum toward our goals. Keep up the great work you are doing alongside taking the medication!

Well

Well, not sure if it’s a placebo effect or not but I don’t feel any different except I’m more mindful of my drinking habits. I feel nothing as far as side effects, and it’s not like my desire to drink is gone, I’m not sure what it is doing for me, honestly.
I have maintained a one drink per day for several days, which is down from 3, which is good, but I feel like im doing all the work, and not sure I’m getting any help from this drug.
I’m happy to be working on it, can’t call it a miracle cure though.

Congratulations on the progress you have made in cutting back from 3 to 1 per day. That is meaningful!

I'm sorry to see that you're not getting as much of a boost from your prescribed medication as hoped. I'd recommend checking in with your medical provider to see if a change in dosage is appropriate and checking in with your coach to brainstorm additional strategies.

Most importantly, don't give up and keep that progress going!

Oar Health has been a tremendous help…

Oar Health has been a tremendous help to me. I have significantly reduced my daily alcohol in take from 4 to 6 drinks daily to only 4 drinks total over the last 2 weeks. The Naltrexone really takes the edge off the my cravings. By almost eliminating alcohol, my sleep ,digestion, energy level ,mood,and skin have dramatically improved. Although my "sick" alcohol dependant mind tries to convince me that " drinking is ok because it is fun" , the medication helps to control those thoughts by minimizing the cravings. Although this will be an ongoing battle, I now feel that I now have the tools to Win this fight with alcohol dependency. Thank you Oar Health!!

I am glad to see that your prescribed medication is making that easier by taking the edge off cravings and that you are starting to notice some of the benefits that follow like better sleep, digestion, energy, mood and skin. It's an almost endless list!

I also think you make an insightful point that this will be an ongoing project for you. Your realistic, but also hopeful, outlook will serve you well in this journey. And I'm glad that the tools Oar Health has given you will be part of that journey.

The best decision I’ve ever made! Thank you OAR!

This has made controlling my alcohol so easy that I almost feel guilty. The first 5 days were a little rough on my tummy. But since then I have zero side effects. I do not have the craving for alcohol. I am no longer jittery and anxious. Every day my life improves. I am sleeping better, have more energy and can think and function more efficiently.

Congratulations on the terrific progress you have made! I'm so glad to see that the benefits are starting to stack up.

And no need to feel guilty! You took an important step for yourself by reaching out for help and also by managing through the initial side effects you experienced, so you could start to feel the medication's benefits.

Keep up the great work and keep noticing those benefits!

Everything from Oar has been exactly as advertised. On Naltrexone for just two weeks and I have noticed a difference already. Doing this to cut way back on binge drinking. So far so good.

This product gave me migraines

UPDATE: OAR issued a full refund. I really appreciate this.

This product gave me migraines. Additionally, I was unaware (or forgot) that I would be automatically renewed/charged - either way I never received notification/alert that a new shipment was scheduled to ship and my credit card was going to be charged. I only received notification after my card was charged. I replied immediately to stop shipment because I will not use this product. They will not refund. My card was charged $297 for a product I will not use. Every other service I use on subscription will send a notification prior to shipping with the option to cancel or delay shipment. I received no notification from OAR. This is bad business and feels like a scam. Do not buy this product.
UPDATE: In response to OAR's reply to this review. I did *not* receive an email ahead of payment/shipment. You prescribed me a 3-month supply of medication without consulting me. Again, I subscribe to other services that do send an email reminder ahead of shipment with options to skip, edit, or cancel. NO such email came from OAR. I hear what you are saying: That your subscription terms are "clear" but it so incomprehensible to me how you could continue to prescribe medication to a patient without ever consulting them! Even with subscription! Your billing practices are suspect... more like a scam business than a real medical provider. It is clear that OAR is concerned with profit over patient care.

I am sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with your prescribed medication and that you were taken by surprise by your membership renewal.

While we do explain our renewal policies at sign-up and send out reminders of upcoming renewals one week in advance, I know that these can sometimes be lost in our inboxes or forgotten. We never want anyone to be taken by surprise by their charges, especially if Oar Health is not working out well for them. So, I will be using Trustpilot's "Request information" feature to get more information from you to see if we can resolve your concern.
