Is nalmefene available for your mother?

The initial SEs are reported to be higher, but you get over those, and it works the same way as naltrexone.

Nalmefene is still unavailable here and I don't think it is going to be soon. Especially there is no more argument that give liver damage.

The only thing I can do it's to give has much informations I can do for her physician.

I don't know "SE" acronym.

Here my first week progress. I'm not sure what to say about these numbers. I experienced side effect where I felt nausea the first days and my stomach limited me to drink more. It's cool having my stomach limit myself but I don't think is going to be like that the next weeks. I felt one evening craving even when I was drinking and it doesn't stop. I can felt craving during afternoon and I have to wait the evening to keep the same habit than before. My night returned to normal the last weekdays. I felt better the morning except today I'm a little hangover. I'm normally a video gamer, but Naltrexone seem to take on it more easier, I no longer feel I want to play anymore. It's like I think to play but I don't want to in the same time. I'm a big coffee drinker, I brew 10 cups every morning and I can start to feel that I can take less, I'm getting hungry before I finish my coffee. Same thing happen sometime with beer, I'm getting hungry while drinking. That's my main problem, I had an habit to feed myself with coffee the morning and beers the evening. Eating between and half of the time before going to sleep. I take Meal Replacement to complement the lack of vitamin I could have without (I'm not good at preparing dinner). I started too to take Milk Thistle (Found it to be good while visiting sinclairmethod.com site). I told my mother to take it too while waiting to see her doctor (end of may) to try to get naltrexone too because doctor test the liver before prescribing naltrexone. I finished to read the Book (The Cure for Alcoholism) except the Appendices. And I pass a lot of time reading progress on this forum.

I wish best success to everyone on this treatment.

Those are great numbers for your first week! I'm only two days in and I'm also feeling my hunger differently. No more hungry but just hungry at different times than I'm used to, and feeling it stronger. I wonder if that will last or end with other side effects.

If your normal video games aren't as fun right now, be sure to get some other things ready to do that are not related to alcohol or TSM. I always find thinking about not drinking can cause cravings by itself.
