Hi All
I've been lurking a while now, tried a few question, introduced myself on the New introduce yourself section. Here's a brief summary of my first 11 days.

Start 7/10
After much deliberation went to my Doctor and although he wasn't overly enthusiastic , I managed to have enough info about TSM that he agree to prescribe Nalmefene.

Take my first Nal and suffer side effects. Nausea, crushing fatigue, flu like symptoms and some abdominal pain. These last for the next 4 days.

Pre TSM I'm drinking approx 18 UK units per night. 120+UK units a week.

From the first night this reduced to 11/13 units per night.

Some how I ended up having one less Nalmefene than I needed to cover me before the Doctor could see me for a follow up. Rather than spending time worrying I decided to get it over with. So last night I didn't take my Nal and had a AF evening.

It was different to other AF nights I've forced on myself. The craving for drink was down but the empty hole in what to do with my time was still tricky.

I read a little, actually I read a few pages. I came here but it was quiet, switched to MWO and spent an hour or so. Just ended up going to bed and surfing until before I knew it it was 11.00pm.

Pre TSM 18/19uk units per day (120+ uk units per week).
Week One
7/10. 11 units
8/10. 11 units
9/10. 13 units
10/10 11 units
11/10 11 units
12/10 13 units
13/10 11 units (81 uk units per week)
Week Two
14/10 11 units
15/10 12 units
16/10 13 units
17/10 0 units

Very nice! Hopefully your Dr. is impressed and renews your prescription. Everything looks good. Keep it up.
