I have been on TSM for around 2.5 months now, and apart from a few really "big" nights I have noticed a massive improvement, in how i feel overall, mentally as well as a reduction in how much I'm drinking.

I do find though that although I can be content having a few by myself in the evenings, when I'm in company i still tend to get very drunk - does anyone else find this?

Also, when i was prescribed Nal by my GP, it wasn't for a Sinclair method approach, it was for "25mg per day for cravings", although I have been taking 50mg one hour prior to drinking. I'm just wondering if its ever OK to drop to 25mg an hour before drinking rather than 50? That way i wont be going back for repeat prescriptions in half the time I should be...

stick to 50mg. if anything people go higher to 75mg or 100mg. if you are having bad side effects then maybey it would be a good idea to drop to 25 mg.as far as getting drunk with freinds i can relate to that. i get exited and want to have fun. but i usualy over due it. when im by my self i usual drink 8 beers and get a big buzz.i always drink more when im with people. have a great day and GOD bless you.

I tried dropping and experienced a spike, so went back up to 50mg.

I had the opposite experience to UKB, I dropped to 25mg and my units dropped too. The only way you can really know is to try it, if you have the same experience as UKB then go straight back up to 50.

Let us know how you get on.
