Hello all fellow TSM-ers!

I have been in for just over 3 months now on 50mg and recently had a few black outs and overall drinking to that point. It has become even more disturbing since i felt I was done with the days of blacking out since the first 2 months I did not experience anything close to it.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
Btw, I did have nausea at the start of TSM

oops! I typed message and lost it. Retyped below!

Hey Peaceseeker,
First of all, don't worry and second of all, really, really don't worry ! If you search this forum for blackouts you will find that you are not alone in the blackout arena. I personally know a TSMer who is close to being cured who blacked out on a regular basis, needless to say it freaked her out and she thought she was a lost cause, BUT she is now around the 26 week mark and feels the cure is close--she has low unit nights, nights she's not interested in alcohol etc.

So just hang in there: Naltrexone + Drinking + A healthy dose of Chill= Cure! Don't over think anything just take your pill an hour before you drink.

My theory on the whole blackout thing is that you are giving yourself permission to drink without guilt because it is TSM work, so you are bound to tip the scales, perhaps even blackout more for a bit!

I'm on week 22 and it has been a rollercoaster ride and as the weeks march on I feel more and more signs of being cured. And the last 3 days I've opted to chew my 50mg (a cured TSMer swears this was his turning point) and I have had 2 units or less. So maybe try and chew your pills? Of course, have some juice nearby because naltrexone is bitter!

Good luck and again, don't worry!

I'd say this is typical. I'm just over 4 months and my overall units have reduced by half but they still go up and down. I got lit up by mylesf mon night and puked my guts out in the morning before work. I thought that stuff was over with! it really really sucked. But I'm looking at the big picture and thinking it was because I smoked weed, and weed makes me drink more for some reason. so no more weed.

but even wihtout weed, I have blacked out and puked and had things happen that I thought were over with. the thing is: they happen less often. I'm hoping for the cure and hoping you get there too!
