I am new here. I have submitted a long post in the "newbie" thread, but I don't see it there yet.

Anyways, I have a question for the psychologists/pharmacists here:

I thought that extinction is a gradual process whereby you see changes all along the way. Yet in the TSM book and the self-reports here, the successful subjects seem to coast along at their former alcohol intake and then abruptly get cured. Yes, I am aware that the group graphs show an approximate exponential decay, but the individual experiences seem like step-offs.

Along these lines, people using Baclofen report threshold dosages which cause them to suddenly lose their desire for alcohol.

I thought that a dose/response curve is a sine qua non of genuine drug efficacy.

What gives?

I'm not aware of any psychologists/pharmacists here. Just people who are doing TSM. this is not an official site but a support forum where regular civilian TSM'ers trade info and experience. Eskapa used to answer questions in the "questions for Eskapa section but rarely does anymore. look for him on facebook. I friended him there and he answered many questions and was very supportive
