I am a binge drinker on the weekends. Usually only drink Fri and Saturday sometimes Sunday. I drink fast and I drink too much. 6 drinks will give me a hellacious hangover the next day which is my whole reason for trying this. I want to be able to drink socially and have been trying to for years but once that second drink is in me I just can't find my stop button.

Here is my question - how much should I take to start? I can usually take minimal amounts of medication and get a good effect so I was thinking about trying 12.5 mg. I only plan on taking a pill 1 - 3 times per week on the weekends.

Would it be better to start high (50 mg or 25 mg) and them go down if it is working or start low (6 mg or 12.5 mg) and then increase if it isn't working?

My goal would be to eventually take the lowest possible dose that is effective.

Thank you for your input..

Hi Ksusier - I would start with 25mg - a half dose. IF you get SE's with that much then halve that ..... you said that you only plan on taking it at weekends - but IF you ever drink at other times, you MUST take it then too ...... this is not a quick fix - it isn't something you can take this weekend and be sorted - it is something that takes a while to work. You must follow the golden rule - i.e. take it every time at least an hour before drinking. Have you read the book ? Ideally you should - that way you understand the whole concept behind TSM. PM me or ask on here if you have any other questions ......

Hugs, Maggie
