Well here I am again after a hiatus of sorts. I have continued to take the Nal without fail a minimum of one hour before drinking. Without fail. I am now into months and months of this and there has been no change really. I am still drinking daily, still drinking too much and still getting a buzz (not always and not as intense, but it happens as has a couple of black outs).

A few days ago I started to feel discomfort under my right rib and I am thinking my liver might be enlarged. A combination of daily use of Nal while continuing to drink has made things worse.

I've read on here some people continue to take Nal for years while trying to get things under control and I am concerned about my liver in that process.

Has anyone else had liver problems with Nal? Also, for those people with good success are you getting a prescription from your doctor or ordering online?

Thanks for your help guys, feeling lost.

Hi Justme,

It looks like you have cut down your total consumption by roughly a half.... give or take a few. That seems like big progress to me!

Sorry the signature is outdated. That was in June 2014. I am back to where I started.

When did it start to creep up again? Did you ever increase to 75 mg?

Maybe around Christmas? No AF days at all in months. Have been reading the forum and see that someone suggested 75mg so maybe I will try that. Some people take much longer to get where they want to be as well it looks like.

Has anyone upped the dose?

yes, and it looks like you were on your way for several months. Maybe bump up to 75 mg and this will do the trick.
