Hi,
I took selincro 18g at last night for the first time. Went round to see a friend (an hour after taking tablet) and desire to drink greatly reduced - had 1/2 bottle of wine over 2.5 hour period and no desire to drink when I got home. Great!! Really pleased
Then came the side effects - they were awful and lasted about 5 hours . Heart was pounding, felt sick, restless but very tired, nervous and shaky and very spaced out. At one point during the night I thought if i didn't know these were side effects I'd go to A&E....I did eventually get about 3 hours sleep. It's now 13.5 hours since i took a tablet and I now feel thick headed and as if I want to spend the day in bed.
Has anyone else had this? Do things get better? And how long does it take? I was going to take a tablet tonight as I know there's a risk I'll drink...but currently feel too scared to as don't want to feel like that again.
I understand that the tablets can't be cut in half to take a smaller dose.
