Definitely... I tried naltrexone augmentation this spring using Wayne's slow-start protocol. I'm hypersensitive to meds and finally had to discontinue it (sadly, never even got above 5mg/day), but I noticed a seriously decreased appetite and increased intensity and "drive" once I got past some dysphoria at the outset. (In fact, the "drive" wasn't always that pleasant, one of the reasons I stopped!) The appetite-suppressing aspect isn't surprising given that it's an opiate-blocker: there's been some controversial testing of it for bulimia and even obesity. Hope your results resemble Wayne's!
best,
jd
