Hi.

Taking Naltrexone is not what i expected. From the first drink it felt wrong, i felt like i was missing something. It felt like i was missing a friend or an experience. But i went on beer after beer like I always do. There is no happiness here, I feel sick drinking this much. First time in my life i am this messed up, and i am questioning myself... probably the worse time to do it. Why do I do this **** to my self.

I've never felt so lost before :/

Actually, that's kind of how it's supposed to go, although some (like me) didn't miss that much.

Are you saying that you drank more than usual on Naltreoxne?

When did you start Nal? And yes, it can affect you in that you will feel lost and alone - you are changing a huge habit and that is always hard! Your body is used to that feeling - that is why you drank in the first place. I think in many ways, it is good that it takes the nal a while to work - it does make it easier to accept those changes - although 10 months after stopping, I STILL miss it! hang in there and please keep posting ..... it does help - both you, and others too!

hugs, Maggie

I will def keep posting when I can. First time in my life I feel like I have some control on alcohol..... Its really weird.

Thank you both Joesixpack and Maggie1929 for responding.

We hear that a lot, Karsal! That's a great indication that TSM is going to work for you. Just remember to always stick with the One Hour Rule and carry some Nal around with you. Your brain may try to convince you to drink without the Nal, but don't let it reach out for it's "old buddy" without your protection.
