Good point. Just thought I'd check in and say thanks for the responses. As I posted in another subforum, I got my prescription and gave it a try. Had very unpleasant insomnia and nausea the first night, which definitely chilled my enthusiasm for the program. However, I started back again on a 25 mg dose about a week ago, and have been doing well. It has essentially killed any craving I've had to drink, and I've only drank one night (Sunday) out of the last week. I realize that's not really TSM, but as I mentioned over on the other thread I am so sick of drinking that I'm just happy as hell to leave it alone.

Right now, I'm in no rush to go up to the full 50 mg dose, but I'm kind of taking things as the come right now and just glad not to be drinking, and not to be obsessing over alcohol.

Best,
G

The side effects DO NOT last long -- after a few doses of 25 mg they dissipated for virtually everyone here, including me. 25 mg covers you for several hours, so try to drink within a few hours after taking the pill and you'll be fine. So long as you take the pill one hour before drinking, you are following TSM.

Good luck.
