Hi received my Nal yesterday, I had, had, four A/L free days using lots of will power so did not know if i would start taking Nal or not. Anyway when my usual drinking time came, which is in the evening and my craving started, I decided to have a go. Whith in half an hour of taking Nal i felt so Sick, i felt like that for about two hours, then i felt fine. I started my drinking, I had a glass of wine, but did not get the usual feeling of relief that i usually get when i have had, A/F days. I just did not get a buzz from the alcohol. I ended up drinking my usual bottle of wine, but usually i feel i , want more to drink and this time i had, had enough, because i was not enjoying it. At one point in the evening i thought i can understand if some people did not comply on the trial, because i really missed the buzz alcohol usually gives me, then I thought, may be this really is my cure because if i am not enjoying drinking, I am not getting my usual reward, so I will make my self take nal when i want to drink. Did any one else feel like this on day one.

Gilly, when I first started Nal. my drinks just did not taste the same and the buzz was different. That only lasted for a week and then everything went back to pre/nal

Gilly , hi
This may seem odd but tsm claims the real reason we drink goes on behind the screens , something much stronger than getting the buzz . Yet we're so conscious and convinced that we do it for the buzz . Most people seem to say they get no or less buzz, BUTwhat is fascinating is that they still keep on with tsm , or 78 percent of people do . This makes tsm's claims seem all the more likely .
So , it's really good that you started but crucial you go on , don't worry about the buzz you'll soon see that you just want to go on and on . You'll surprise yourself .
Good fortune to you .

Gilly,

NALTREXONE + DRINKING = CURE
