I just took my first nal dose (started at 25mg) the other night. I'm a bit OCD (Like, clinically) and was super worried about how it would go and how I'd feel.

Much to my surprise and delight, I actually didn't feel much of anything. No side effects, hangover was the same as usual.

However, I feel like I drank more than I normally do, faster, and didn't get as drunk.

Thinking about the way nal works it seems like it would encourage over-drinking prior to extinction. We are still chasing that buzz, and when our normal amount of alcohol doesn't give it to us, we just keep on drinking past normal limits.

Anyone else have any experiences like this?

I'm looking forward to trying my 2nd nal (full 50mg this time) + drinking session tonight and seeing how it goes.

Hi and welcome!

Some don't get any side effects from the Nal, so hopefully that will be true of the full dose for you too. Here's a link to some hints and tips for working with TSM:

If you don't have a drink log, here's a free spreadsheet you can download:

Please do let us know how 50mg works for you!

I had almost no side effects with 50mg other than the first day. DO start logging your drinks religiously. it really helps you see what is happening and how you are drinking. good luck!
