Dear Nora,
I think I had the chest pressure thing - nal still tends to make me a little shakey/nervous/nauseous for about thirty minutes after I take a full 50mg dose these days. Nothing horrible, but I can feel that I took the pill (unlike some other people on this board). Then again, I am the queen of psychosomatic, so who knows!

I have to learn to count my units. Today was an awful day. I have taken 1/2 pill for 5 days. I knew that I needed to move up to the 50 mg but was worried about SE while at work. I've had half of a half pint (1/4 pint ??) of tequila and 2 beers tonight. Frustrated because I was feeling so much better and not craving. Tomorrow I'll take the 50 mg pill and go from there. I know that I need to give this a chance but I'm just so wanting to be over this. Grrrr.
Will try to figure out my units and start posting that.
Thanks everyone for the support & encouragement.

Hi Nora

A belated welcome! I also used antabuse in the past. Even drank on it once or twice - not good!
I hope you are going OK with the full dose and experienceing the "honeymoon".

Cheers
Sticky

Hi Nora

Please remember patience is key with TSM, prepare yourself to be following the method for at least 6 months before making a decision on whether or not TSM is working. As Tiller posted,.... TSM is a marathon, not a sprint!

Buckle up for the ride and Nal-on!
