Yes, Jackson I have upped my dosage to 75 mg the last 2 days. I also just ordered another 4 months supply of Nal as I said I will stick with TSM for as long as it takes!
Thanks

Hey Newlife, so far what I am noticing is that I get a very drugged feeling and so very tired after 2-3 drinks. My last drink I poured last night I ended up putting in the fridge and didn't drink it but didn't want to waste it, lol.
I am that kind of person with alcohol and food too as I will take anything in the fridge that is leftover, become inventive and make a dinner out of it. I really hate waste so there are many mornings I get up and there is a full glass of wine or a drink in the fridge as I hate to pour it out and waste it.
This is a experiment so will see if upping it to 75 mg makes any difference for me?
Stay tuned and we will see......

Hi Cheeto - I think there are a few of us that are interested to see what happens with you upping your dose ..... did you often not finish your drink before you upped your dose ? Sorry that you were so down - I know it seems as if this goes on forever for you, but you will get here - really you will!!

Hugs, Maggie x

looking forward to hearing how you get on with 75mg - fingers crossed!

had you poured drinks & then not drunk them on 50mg?

I've been known to put unfinished drinks back in the fridge too ;)

Yes I remember that drugged feeling but I only needed 50mg to feel that.

I like to think this is how normal drinkers feel when drinking.

Well done on putting the drink away. That is all great news.

Ha ha. I have many a time opened my fridge to a full glass of white wine; at least it's very cold that way and I didn't drink it when I poured it!! Don't like to waste either.

I consider myself lucky because I don't really notice any drugged feeling or bad feeling when I am on the nal. I hope that doesn't mean it doesn't work for me. I did notice a slight difference where sex was concerned, but only one time so not sure it was the nal and that is such a nebulous thing anyway.

But I have never tried 75 mg. Keep us posted.

xoxo Newlife

Hey Maggie, I took 75 mg for 2 days and have gone back to 50 mg since I have not been able to get down to the US to pick up my order of Nal. I was worried as I am really low on Nal and do not want to run out before I get the new Nal. I now have made arrangements to go down on Thursday so I will up my dose tonight as I have just enough left.
It's been pretty stressful as you know not having my place sold yet and having bought a new place already, Geesh!
Anyway I have not had an AF day since last week but I am being much more mindful of my drinking and hopefully will get an AF day on Monday with all this craziness of Real Estate. I have a Realtor coming by today with Clients and then an Open House later today so crossing fingers.
Hope you are doing well and everyone else is having a nil or low drinking weekend!
Nal On!!!!
