hmmm...Jack & Ginger? Don't give me any ideas.

Man, we need some new smilies. This place could start rocking since that new article came out.

I think there is a possibility that nal stimulates compulsions but withholds the rewards. I took a dose of nal & started drinking. No side effects right now. BUT...I am really compulsively cleaning my house. This is one of my "things" and like plantpro said about alcohol "It kept me unintentionally in a constricted confined environment."

Nal has been used in cases of ocd, like hair pulling, it has been effective in people who gamble, sex addicts, bulimia, etc. Which I believe addictions, obsessions, compulsions are all in the same bag.

Or...I could be drunk, I dunno. I believe there is more going on to this drug than just alcohol.

Okay my first experience with nal & alcohol. I took my itsy bitsy dose of 12.5 at 4:51. I had a full belly from about 2 hours or so before. I had a big glass of water with it & a piece of ginger candy. At exactly 5:51 I popped my first beer. All was well for the first two beers I guess. If you could call compulsively cleaning my house a good thing.

It is 9:50 now. I feel like ****. I got down maybe 3 beers. I feel kind of high, but a weird high...nothing close to an alcohol buzz. More like the end of a mushroom high when things are done & it's feeling kind of bad because you have done too many for too long. My system started going up up and up and I had to take an anti anxiety & a melatonin.

Will I do it again? I don't think so. I will check in tomorrow, but I am pretty sure that I am done. I want my brain back, fried tho it may be. I thought it was fried before, but these few doses of nal has shown me that alcohol is but a mere sizzle compared to what the nal can do.

Sounds like you're pretty sensitive to it. I know it feels crappy now but just stick with it. Just think at least you're drinking less right?


I'm not sure if that's compulsion as much as something to do. I know my enemy when not drinking is finding something constructive to do. As I cut back now I'm sure I'll have the worlds most organized comic collection out of boredom! One day we'll learn to get back out and do normal people things but for now, there are worse side effects out there than a clean house!

Hey Mason if you're near FL you are welcome to come and clean mine. JK - Newlife

No you're not kidding, you brat!


Anyway....I'm alive today! I could very well have a pharmaceutical hangover from all the crap that's in my system. Usually one melatonin puts me to sleep & if I am anxious, usually a 1/2 anti anxiety pill calms me. It took one of each to bring me down to a state of sleep. I slept well, but it was like my brain was going all circular. I still feel a little bit of that brain pulsating that the nal gives me. It could have just set off mania, I dunno. I'll let my system clear up this weekend & call my doctor Monday.

I have plenty of beer in the fridge. The thought of drinking one gives me the heebie jeebies.

I'm drunk right now and an question pop in my mind. What if i drink slowly i mean i have a bottle of wsky ndim thinking if i drink slowly like im right now with my mate and we are talking about random things ranting about how badly stuck we are in. If im not wrong i will drink less this way.
