Hey Everyone,

This is my third time trying TSM (I posted "Third Time's a Charm" on the Welcome board). I am 100% committed to seeing it through this time.
My numbers are pretty high at the moment, though, so I'll probably need extra doses of the patience part of the formula.
During my last attempt I spoke to my doc about upping the dose to 100mg. He did not think that was a problem, and wrote the script. I don't remember how long I did TSM the last time but I got fed up and gave up.
This time, I started on day one with 100mg. Sometimes I split the dose if I want to drink in the afternoon (yard work, etc.) then take the second 50mg around 8pm. I must be one of the lucky ones. I don't have any side effects (not from the Naltrexone, any way. Plenty of side effects from the alcohol...lol)

So, back on the ride...
Week 1: 80.5
Week 2: 71
Week 3: 72
I can't remember the last AF day I had, but it might have been last summer.

Third time lucky, thirty-third time lucky--glad you're back! I'm not regular on the board but keen to see others declaring their enthusiasm for the method or returning or whatever.

I'm approximately seven stone (ninety-eight pounds or thereabouts) and consider my alcohol consumption high as well--I've been translating to international standards (one ounce of forty per cent for a 'drink'--though I must say I prefer American doubles! ) .

How inspiring it is that you've taken up TSM again! And how I envy your lack of nausea! I tried doing two pills in a day (equalling one hundred mg.) and unfortunately sicked up for hours and hours with the hoot of a cluster headache, something absent from my life beforehand. Thought I was going to die. Rather wanted to.

Totally sympathise with the house/garden-work boozing!

It's pretty bizarre how effective the pill is; I always write down what I'm about to imbibe (with a couple of exceptions), but don't generally 'monitor', meaning, I'd rather just drink and Nal than do too much regulation. Seems to have been working out well.
